People’s experience

Patients were positive about their care and treatment. We asked the practice to share details of CQC Give Feedback on Care process on their website. We received 24 positive comments from patients via Give Feedback on Care forms. The practice reviewed feedback from the national patient survey and where possible acted on comments or suggestions made. Any complaints were used to improve practice and procedures. There was a newly formed but active Patient Participation Group who told us the practice had been hugely supportive and had listened to feedback.

Read this profile carefully

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.
