RESULTS OF THE NATIONAL GP PATIENT SURVEY JULY 2007
YOUR DOCTOR, YOUR EXPERIENCE, YOUR SAY

You may be aware through the press, TV, radio and internet that the
government has published details of a survey it organised into patients’
experience of GP services. As a practice which values communicating
with you – our registered patients – we thought you might like to have
some information about this survey.

WEEDON SURGERY’S RESULTS
We are happy to report that this practice’s results were as follows:

99 per cent of people reported that they were satisfied with their ability to get through to their doctor's surgery on the phone. 96 per cent of people who tried to get a quick appointment with a GP said they were able to do so within 48 hours. 99 per cent of people who wanted to book ahead for an appointment with a doctor reported that they were able to do so. 97 per cent of people who wanted an appointment with a particular doctor at their GP surgery thought they could do this. 93 per cent of people said they were satisfied with the current opening hours in their practice. 100 per cent of people who were referred by a GP discussed choice of hospital.
