This report covers our findings in relation to those improvements made since our last inspection.

Overall the practice is rated as good.

  • The practice and the Patient Reference Group completed patient surveys on an ongoing basis and the practice carried out regular audits to manage busy periods and monitor their appointment and telephone system.
