A heartfelt thank you to all our patients who took the time to complete a Friends & Family feedback response in January, and to our team members for their continued dedication in caring for our patients. It’s wonderful to see so many positive comments at the start of the year.

The practice continues to make improvements and recruit new clinical and administrative staff to ensure we provide the high-quality care our community deserves.

The annual GP Patient Survey will soon be sent to patients. This survey is run independently on behalf of NHS England, not by the practice, and the results are usually published mid-year. We are grateful for our patients’ continued feedback about our services, which helps us improve the care we provide.
