People’s experience
People were positive in the quality of their care and treatment. Recent survey findings such as the National GP Patient Survey and the NHS Friends and Family Test indicated high levels of satisfaction with the services provided. An active Patient Participation Group (PPG) was in place, giving patients a voice. One PPG member shared that their input was acknowledged and, where possible, acted upon. They also described the practice as transparent and responsive. The group collaborated with the practice and the local community, creating newsletters and organising events aimed at promoting health awareness.

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.
Independent lookup: Check My GP is not affiliated with the CQC, NHS or this provider. Providers cannot pay to change their rating or position. CQC data is reused under the Open Government Licence; GP Patient Survey results are published by NHS England and Ipsos.
