The practice made sure patients could access the care, support, and treatment they needed when they needed it.

The practice performed better than the national average in the results of the 2025 National GP Patient Survey. This showed patients could access the practice when they needed it in a way that suited their needs, such as by telephone, in person or through the practice’s website. For example, 68% of respondents to the survey described their overall experience of contacting this practice as being good, compared to a national average of 70%.

The practice had taken steps to improve equity in access and support digital inclusion. For example, it had delivered a community event to help patients understand and use the NHS App. Patients were able to access the service through a range of routes, including online booking via the NHS App and Rapid Health, by telephone, in person, and by attending the practice. All requests for appointments were subject to a duty GP‑led triage system to ensure patients were directed to the most appropriate clinician and appointment type.

Treatment rooms were available on the ground floor, and an automatic door had been fitted to the entrance to ensure ease of access to the practice.

Systems and processes were in place to identify patients who may need extra support. This included alerts on patients records to show what support they needed with communication, such as interpreters.

Staff and leaders actively listened to information about patients who were most likely to experience inequality in experience or outcomes. They tailored their care, support, and treatment in response to this. The practice had considered equity in patient experience and supported individual needs. For example, patients with neurodiversity were able to wait in their car before their appointment where this supported their individual needs.

Staff treated patients equally and without discrimination. Leaders proactively sought ways to address any barriers to improving patient’s experience and worked with local services, including within the voluntary sector, to address any local health inequalities. Staff understood the importance of providing an inclusive approach to care and made adjustments to support equity in patient’s experience and outcomes. Staff followed processes to ensure people could register at the practice, including those in vulnerable circumstances such as homeless people and Travellers. Staff used systems to capture and review feedback from patients who used the practice.
