Patient Survey Results 2023

We value our patients time and experience, that’s why we ask our patients to reflect on the service and care they have received from our practices by completing a survey twice a year.

The feedback from these surveys can provide a valuable source of information about the patient experience, what users think about their recent care and treatment, and inform us on the progress, improvement of care providers and the level of quality care these services provide.

In our surveys we ask patients their experience of access to GP surgeries, making appointments, the quality of care received from GPs, nurses and/or other clinicians, satisfaction with communication and experience of their treatment and/or services.
