CQC received 4 pieces of feedback from the public in connection with this inspection and their experiences of the service; 4 were positive and 1 was negative.   People had access to appointments provided by a range of a multi-skilled clinicians including GPs, advanced nurse practitioners, practice nurses, clinical pharmacist, paramedic and healthcare assistants.
