Kindness, compassion and dignity

Score: 3

The national GP patient survey showed 49% of people found the reception and administration staff helpful. This was below the local and national averages. 59% of patients said the healthcare professional they saw or spoke to was good at listening to them during their last general practice appointment. This was below the national average, however, the practice had completed their own in house patient survey that showed increased patient satisfaction of 87% since December 2023.

Leadership feedback told us that there had been personnel changes in the last few years, including the amalgamation with another practice. They said that patient feedback had declined following the personnel changes and that they were working with the local patient participation group to increase patient satisfaction. The leadership team recognised practice changes take time to embed and although this was not yet fully reflected within the national GP patient survey, their own in house data was showing increases and the feedback they were receiving was positive.
