We’re pleased to share our April Friends and Family Test results:

✨ 96% of patients said their experience was good or very good
👩‍⚕️ 65% of patients saw the same clinician to discuss their symptoms.
💊Continuity of care is important to us, and we’re glad many of you are able to speak with a clinician who knows you and your health needs.

Some of the lovely comments we received included:

“Very efficient and professional.”

“I felt listened to and my concerns were taken seriously.”

“Excellent service – made to feel at ease and well informed.”

“Reception staff are friendly, helpful and professional.”

“Outstanding to get a face-to-face appointment so quickly.”

We also recognise there are areas where we can continue to improve, including waiting times, appointment availability and communication.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete the Friends and Family Test. Your comments really do make a difference. 💙
