One feature
of our contract with the NHS is that we
are required to conduct a patient satisfaction
survey annually. We use one of two surveys
that have been approved by the NHS for use
in General Practices. This means that we
are able to compare our results with other
Practices to get a better feel for how well
we are doing. The results of the survey
give our doctors and nurses personal feedback
on their consultation skills as well as
the practice feedback on how our patients
see us. The survey was completed by 432
patients who agreed to do this when
arriving for appointments winter 2008. The
table below shows the results of the survey,
comparing us to last year's results (350 patients) as well as our own ratings with the average
of all practices who did the survey, as well
as the range of scores achieved by all practices.
