People were mainly positive about the quality of their care and treatment. Recent survey results, including from the National GP Patient Survey and the NHS Friends and Family Test (FFT), showed people were satisfied with services. There was an active Patient Participation Group (PPG) who represented the views of people using the service. Representatives from the PPG described how managers made positive changes because of feedback, such as making patients aware of delays creating a transparent service, the PPG had also communicated Did Not Attend rates to the practice population and were planning an open day to the practice population to support with health initiatives and access.
