We would be grateful if you would complete this survey about your experience of the practice. This year we are concentrating on reception and appointments, repeat prescribing, and communications. These areas have been approved by the Practice Representative Group of the surgery and a summary from this survey will be fed back to them to help them identify areas for improvement. Your opinions are very valuable. Please answer ALL the questions you can. There are no right or wrong answers and your doctor will NOT be able to identify your individual answers. Thank you.
