People's experience of this service
Two weeks before our on-site assessment, we asked the practice to encourage patients to share their views of the service with us. We did not receive any patient feedback.
We saw recent feedback collected by the practice, comments included “lovely, friendly team”, “amazing”, “staff are fantastic, friendly and helpful”
The practice shared patient feedback with the team. We were told this was reviewed and where suggestions had been made, appropriate action would be taken.
