People's experience of this service
As part of our assessment, we reviewed feedback from people who used the service to understand their views and experience of the service. People were positive about the quality of their care and treatment. They described how staff treated them with kindness and compassion and respected their privacy. This was mirrored in the results of recent surveys, including the 2025 National GP Patient Survey, which showed most people were satisfied. Although the practice did not currently have a formal patient participation group (PPG). It actively sought feedback through range of other mechanisms to understand patient experience and identify opportunities for improvement. We were informed that the practice had tried over the years to establish a PPG. It was advertised extensively on the practice website and at the reception area, but they had never been any volunteers or interested participants.
