People’s experience

People were positive about the quality of their care and treatment that they received. Recent National GP Patient Survey showed positive feedback on involvement in care decisions, on trust in health care professionals and on levels of care and concern shown by health care professionals. However, the survey also highlighted that people remained dissatisfied about the availability of appointments. The provider was aware and had attempted to improve access. For example, leaders had recently introduced an on-line triage system to help patients access the most appropriate appointment option. The practice had also commenced work with a local community pharmacy to raise patients’ awareness about common conditions that could be treated by local pharmacies and therefore reduce demand for appointments. The GP Patient Survey also highlighted that patients were dissatisfied regarding phone access and again we saw evidence of action taken. A new phone system had recently been introduced with call back functionality and the practice’s website now offered additional features to reduce demand on the phone system.

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.
