The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
People’s experience
People were positive about the quality of their care and treatment. Recent survey results, including from the National GP Patient Survey and the NHS Friends and Family Test, showed people were satisfied with services. As requested, the provider shared information about the CQC inspection with patients. We received feedback and people said staff protected their privacy and dignity. They treated them as individuals and supported their preferences. People told us they were treated with kindness and compassion. People had choice in their care and treatment. There was an active patient participation group (PPG) who represented the views of people using the service, however, this group attended PCN wide meetings and missed the opportunity to report directly to the leaders of Walkden Medical Practice. Representatives from the PPG described how, in the past, managers made positive changes because of feedback, such as implementing a new phlebotomy service at the practice and increasing evening and weekend appointment availability. Leaders reported that steps were being taken to re-instate practice led PPG meetings.

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.
