We spoke with people who use the service. They told us staff were friendly and approachable and spoke to them in a respectful way. People we spoke with told us staff treated them with dignity and communicated well. One person told us “I’ve been very happy here, very pleased with everything”.

People told us they had discussed the treatment options available to them and felt they were able to make informed choices about their treatment. This shows that people who use the service understood the care and treatment choices available to them. None of the people we spoke with told us they had any difficulty in making appointments. One person said “they fit us very quickly for an emergency appointment”.

They told us they felt the practice delivered care and treatment in a way that met their needs, that they felt safe at the service and never seen anything of concern.

People told us they felt the practice was clean and staff always wore gloves and other protective clothing to prevent cross contamination; this was confirmed by our observation on the day. We saw that the practice had systems to reduce the risk of infection.

People told us they had the opportunity to complete patient comment forms and a satisfaction survey. The practice patient information leaflet contained information about opening times, emergency contacts, fees and the complaints procedure.
