Our GP surgeries are the first point of contact for healthcare in the community, providing support for physical and mental health conditions.
Patients across Milton Keynes have named the GP surgeries that are meeting their needs, in the latest GP Patient Survey, produced by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England.
The experience and care you receive is important, with more than 700,000 patients in England having their say on their GP surgery in the survey, which was carried out between January and March this year.
Patients were asked a range of questions about their last appointment as part of the survey, including whether they felt their needs had been met. Across the country, the majority of patients said their needs had ‘definitely’ been met (57%) or had been met ‘to some extent’ (33%).
Here we reveal the surgeries in Milton Keynes which are meeting patients’ needs the best. Surgeries are ranked by the proportion of patients who said their needs had ‘definitely’ been met during their last appointment.
