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. There was an active patient participation group (PPG) who represented the views of people using the service. Representatives from the PPG described how managers made positive changes because of feedback, such as having a new telephone system installed which allowed staff to monitor live demand and allocate resources during busy periods. In the 2023 National GP patient Survey, the practice’s data demonstrated that patient satisfaction was good overall. 59% responded that they were satisfied with their GP practice appointment times, 58% were happy at how easy it was to get through to someone on the telephone, 56% were satisfied with the overall experience of making an appointment and 73% were satisfied with the appointment they were offered. The data for these indicators also highlighted that the performance achieved by the practice was usually higher than both the national and local averages.

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.
