What CQC reported

The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.

People’s experience

People provided mixed feedback about the quality of their care and treatment. Recent survey findings showed low scores in relation to telephone access to the practice but higher patient satisfaction in the experience received from healthcare and non-clinical staff. However, the practice’s own in-house patient survey, which mirrored the national survey questions, together with feedback from the NHS Friends and Family Test, were largely complimentary about the service. The practice also maintained an active Patient Participation Group (PPG) that represented the views of people using the service. We spoke to one member of the PPG who spoke positively about the practice and their access to the practice.

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.
