We recognise the great and often innovative work that GP practices have been engaged in to continue to provide safe, quality care to the people they serve. We know colleagues are doing this while demand for general practice remains exceptionally high, with more appointments being provided than ever. In this challenging context, access to general practice remains a concern for people.
People's experience of this service
We recognise the pressure that practices are currently working under, and the efforts staff are making to maintain levels of access for their patients. At the same time, our strategy makes a commitment to deliver regulation driven by people’s needs and experiences of care. The practice website had been updated since the last inspection and there were online appointments available. Results from the National GP Patient Survey showed the practice were in line with local and national averages in the overall experience of making an appointment. People told us the care they received was good and that they were involved in decisions about their care and treatment.
