People’s experience

Feedback from people, relatives and professionals who worked closely with the service was mostly positive. Some indicators in the GP Patient Survey published 2023 showed some lower performance data. The practice used this, along with feedback they collected via Healthwatch, the Family and Friends Test and complaints to develop systems to improve the patient experience. Where the feedback was negative, the practice reviewed the feedback, from whatever source, responded to the patient and where possible made changes. People told us that they felt involved in decisions about their care and treatment. People told us they felt their individual needs were appropriately assessed and fully understood by practice staff. People told us they felt empowered by the practice staff to give their views and felt the practice supported their rights to equality and their human rights. Most people told us they had timely access to care and treatment and were treated with dignity and respect. The practice was proactive in ensuring there was equity in access, experience and outcomes for their patients.

Check the provider’s own website and the complete official CQC record before making a decision. If you need urgent medical help, use NHS 111 or call 999 in an emergency.
