Summer is finally on the horizon, after a long and challenging winter for the NHS.
Healthcare services were overwhelmed this winter after a “quad-demic” of seasonal illnesses including the flu, Covid, RSV and norovirus, with hospitals left feeling the strain.
Even with the pressures currently faced by the NHS, it appears that the vast majority of us are already happy with our doctor, according to the latest GP Patient Survey, produced by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England.
Almost 700,000 patients in England completed the 2024 survey, which was carried out between January 2 and March 25 and gathers information on how patients feel about their local GP.
Across the country, the majority of patients described the overall experience as ‘very good’ (37.1%) or ‘fairly good’ (30.2%).
However, not everyone is as happy with their local practice, 9.4% said their overall experience was ‘fairly poor’ and 9.5% described it as ‘very poor’.
