People’s experience
As part of the assessment, we reviewed the most recent 2026 National GP Patient Survey, NHS Friends and Family Test (FFT), and also asked the provider to invite patients to share their experience of the service via the Give Feedback on Care section on the Care Quality Commission’s website. Results from the National GP Patient Survey, showed mixed patient satisfaction with services. For example, 92% of patients felt their needs were met during their last general practice appointment (local and national averages 90%), however only 72% of respondents described their overall experience of this GP practice as good (local average 76% and national average 77%). Data from the NHS Friends and Family Test for June, July and August 2026 showed that an average of 90.3% of patients rated the practice good or very good. Feedback from 3 care homes supported by the provider indicated that they were generally satisfied with the care provided, although some specific areas of concern were noted. We received 12 Give Feedback on Care responses from patients leading up to our assessment. All the responses were positive about the level of care they received, with some mentioning recent improvements within the service. As part of our assessment, we spoke with a member of the practice’s patient participation group (PPG). The PPG member said the group worked well with the practice team and felt that their views and feedback were listened to.

Evidence, not a league table.
CQC findings and GP Patient Survey results answer different questions and may cover different time periods. Neither confirms current appointment availability, NHS acceptance, opening hours or whether a provider is suitable for you.
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.
