Information published by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities shows that deprivation within the practice population group is in the 4th decile (4 of 10). The lower the decile, the more deprived the practice population is relative to others.

Patients were positive about the quality of their care and treatment. We received 197 Give Feedback on Care forms as part of this inspection. Of these, 175 were positive about the service received, 20 were negative, and 2 contained mixed feedback. Positive comments referred to good access, friendly staff and patients feeling respected and listened to. Patients told us GPs advocated for their patients and gave examples of adjustments that were made so patients with disabilities could access the service in ways that met their needs. Negative feedback referred to some difficulty using the online appointment system and long waits on the telephone. National GP Patient Survey results showed patients were satisfied with access to services and the care received.
