People’s experience
As part of our inspection, we reviewed feedback from people who used the practice to understand their views and experience. This included speaking with people using the practice at the time of our inspection and reviewing other feedback available to us. People were positive about the quality of their care and treatment. This was mirrored in the results of recent surveys, including the 2025 National GP Patient Survey, which showed people were satisfied, especially regarding clinical consultations, patients reported high levels of satisfaction regarding the care and attention provided by staff. Patient feedback highlighted staff being kind and compassionate. Further feedback highlighted examples of practice staff providing a friendly, accessible and caring service, this included the reception, dispensary and the clinical teams. The practice promoted and monitored patient feedback, collected via the NHS ‘Friends and Family’ Test results. We reviewed the most recent responses collected and verified from February 2026 (993 responses), March 2026 (851 responses) and April 2026 (769 responses). Using the combined responses from the last 3 months, 97% rated the service received at the practice as either ‘Good’ or ‘Very Good’. There was an active and growing patient participation group (PPG) who represented the views of people using the service. A representative from the PPG described how they worked with the practice to make improvements, this included reviewing the practice website, suggesting changes to the layout of the practice waiting areas and more recently working with the local Integrated Care Board in response to significant growth within Bicester and the surrounding areas.

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.
