What is the NHS Friends and Family Test?

The NHS Friends and Family Test is a way of gathering your feedback, so we can continually review our service.  It is based on one simple question:

How likely are you to recommend our GP practice to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?

Your feedback will help us learn more about what you think of your experience - what you like and what you think we could improve.  Ultimately, you're helping us to make changes that will ensure we can offer the best possible care

If you would prefer to give your comments anonymously, then please do so.  If you do leave your contact details then we might get in touch to talk to you about your feedback so we can better understand your views
