People’s experience

People’s feedback showed that their overall experience was very mixed. We reviewed a variety of information from significant events and complaints submitted by the practice, complaints and feedback sent to CQC prior to and during the inspection, practice survey results and verified NHS feedback. We also reviewed patient feedback from the 2024 National Patient GP survey and data they submitted as part of their Friends and Family test surveys throughout the past year. We reviewed a combination of 40 complaints and sent to CQC complaints and comments as part of our pre-inspection feedback request. We spoke to members of the Patient Participation Group (PPG) on the day of inspection and obtained staff feedback. The people’s experience referred to in this report relates to either one of these types of feedback.

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.
