What CQC reported
The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
People’s experience
People and their representatives were positive about the quality of their care and treatment.
There was an active patient participation group (PPG) who represented the views of people using the service. Representatives from the PPG described how managers made positive changes because of feedback and updated the PPG on outcomes of any suggestions or feedback they gave.
We spoke with representatives from the care homes the provider served. They felt they had a good relationship with the practice and described them as responsive to concerns regarding people’s needs.
The provider shared details of our Give Feedback on Care (GFC) process on their website and we received positive feedback from patients through this process. This included comments about the professionalism, knowledge and empathy shown by both clinical and non-clinical staff and how people were actively involved in their care and treatment. There was appreciation for improvements made by the practice to promote equity in experience and access to the practice, such as the introduction of a ‘calm corner’ in the waiting room for patients with additional needs

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.
