Dear Patient,
Please tell us about your experiences at our practice by answering this brief survey. We want to know what we do well and where we could improve. As ever, please limit your suggestions for improvement to issues within the practice's control rather than those that would rely on different parts of the wider NHS changing.
The survey will remain open for approximately 8 weeks. We will then analyse the results and invite patients to a meeting with practice staff to discuss the feedback and create an action plan for the year ahead. Thank you very much for your time and your feedback.
Denise Simpson-Banks, Practice Business Manager.
