2020 Survey and Data

Overview

We are now messaging our patients who have attended an appointment to understand patient views on our service, particularly over the COVID-19 period. 

Since July 2020, we have seen a significant increase in workload and have been working to ensure patients can access our services promptly. Some changes we have made to support this include the use of Live Chat on our website to try and take the pressure of our phone lines. We scored low in the GP Patient Survey in 2019 and again in the 2020 GP Patient Survey and receive regular feedback on this from patients, and we hope to improve this over the next few months.

Below is some data we have received from surveys and feedback from patients and what we have done to address the results.
