A higher percentage of patients described their overall experience of this GP practice as good when compared to local and national averages. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) received feedback from 55 people using the service which was mainly positive. Patients described the practice as excellent, and that clinicians were professional, thorough, knowledgeable and helpful and that they had confidence in them. Patients also told us that they were treated respectfully and with empathy.

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.
