GP Survey 2026

A huge thank you to everyone who completed this year's GP Patient Survey.

We're incredibly proud that 95% of our survey results scored higher than both the local ICS and the national average.
Some highlights include:

💙 100% had confidence and trust in their healthcare professional.
💙 99% found our reception team helpful.
💙 99% felt their healthcare professional had all the information they needed.
💙 99% felt their needs were met.
💙 98% rated their overall experience as good.
💙 97% described contacting the practice as good.
💙 97% said they knew what would happen within two days of contacting us.

The only measure where our score was lower than the ICS and national average was choice of appointment location (7%). This reflects how we provide care - we always aim to offer appointments at our own surgery where patients know our team and have access to their usual clinicians. While we do have access to Extended Access appointments at other locations, these are offered when clinically appropriate rather than routinely.

Thank you for your continued support and valuable feedback. It helps us celebrate what's working well and continue improving the care we provide to our patients.

Drinking too much alcohol can increase the risk of accidents, injuries, poor sleep, mental health difficulties, liver disease, high blood pressure and some cancers 💙
Keeping track of your units and having alcohol-free days can help you drink more safely 👍

Helping children build healthy habits early can support their wellbeing now and in the future 💙

Healthy habits don’t have to mean big changes. Small steps each day can make a real difference 👍

Some simple ways to encourage healthy habits include:
• eating meals together as a family
• drinking more water instead of sugary drinks
• reducing screen time and encouraging active play
• getting enough sleep
• involving children in shopping and cooking 🍎

Children often learn by example, so positive role modelling can help encourage healthy eating, movement and balanced routines 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Healthy habits are about supporting overall wellbeing, confidence and long-term health rather than focusing on weight alone 💫

Good sleep is also important for growing children, helping with learning, mood and energy levels 😴

Remember, every family is different and small, realistic changes are often the easiest to maintain 💙
