What CQC reported

The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.

People’s experience

In the 2023 National GP Patient Survey, the practice’s data for access was mixed, but generally below average. Satisfaction was below average for some aspects, especially how easy patients found it to get through to the practice by phone, but broadly in line with average for satisfaction with the appointment offered.

The practice had made changes since the last national survey. Recent feedback gathered by the practice and given to us was more positive, but this cannot be compared directly to the National GP Patient Survey.

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.
