Patient Survey 2013/14 Including Results

Number of Responses: 26

Please help us to improve

The Practice and the Patient Participation Group (PPG) run an annual patient survey to seek patients’ views on where the Practice needs to improve in order to prioritise its future activities.

This short questionnaire will be used to identify the issues you feel are important and there are a number of ways in which you can express your views:

- Complete the Questionnaire online

- Pick up a survey in a waiting room or from Reception. Complete the Questionnaire and either hand it to Reception or place it in the Suggestion Box on the ground floor (on the windowsill by the entrance)

- Ask for help at Reception to complete the Questionnaire

- Return the Questionnaire by post addressed to The Practice Manager, Cavendish Health Centre, 53 New Cavendish Street W1G 9TQ

- Include your suggestions in a letter addressed to the Practice Manager, placed in the Suggestion Box or handed to Reception

Please complete / return by 19 February 2014.

Your views and suggestions will remain anonymous unless you indicate otherwise.

The PPG will review this information and identify key areas of concern for further discussion with the practice.

Thank you for your time and input.

  • Excellent practice. Very good doctors. Very pleasant and helpful receptionists.
  • Very good surgery.
  • I appreciate that there has been a lot of effort made recently to improve the premises and make life easier, where possible, for disabled patients. Also the patient, reception, doctor system to make an appointment is now much better.
  • The receptionists are always very pleasant and helpful and your system of dealing with patients who telephone for help when requiring a Doctor’s appointment is excellent.
  • Good.
  • Every time I see a different doctor. I would prefer some consistency.
  • Pretty efficient.
