People’s experience

As part of our assessment, we reviewed feedback from people who used the service to understand their views and experience of the service. People were positive about the quality of their care and treatment. This was mirrored in the results of recent surveys, including the 2025 National GP Patient Survey, which showed most people were satisfied. For example, 85% of patients who responded described their overall experience of this GP practice as good. This was higher than the local average of 77% and the national average of 75%. Results from the NHS Friends and Family Test from January to March 2026 showed that in each month, at least 97% of respondents rated their experience of the service as either good or very good. There was an active patient participation group (PPG) who represented the views of people using the service. A representative from the PPG described how the service listened and acted on their feedback.

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.
