The NHS Friends and Family Test asks “How likely are you to recommend our GP practice to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?”. The responses range from Extremely likely, down to Extremely unlikely. There is also space for any free text reasons or comments to be made. Below are the results from the friends and family test received by the practice on a monthly basis (showing the last 12 months) and a random selection of comments written by registered patients.
