People’s experience
People were positive about the quality of their care and treatment. Recent survey results, including from the National GP Patient Survey and the NHS Friends and Family Test, showed people were satisfied with services. There was an active patient participation group (PPG) who represented the views of people using the service. Feedback from patients was overwhelmingly positive. Patients described staff being caring, responsive and knowledgeable, having behaved kindly towards them and as diligent in carrying out their tasks. This indicated that, within the Valentine Medical Centre staff team, a caring, helpful and listening culture was embedded. The most recent National GP Patient Survey results were similar to national averages (results reported on are from 30/12/2024 to 01/04/2025). For example, the percentage of respondents to the GP patient survey who responded positively to the overall experience of their GP practice was 79%, while the national average was 75%.

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.
