GP patient survey 2022: The best and worst rated doctor’s surgeries in Greater Manchester revealed

Patient satisfaction with GP surgeries has slumped considerably in the past year across England, results of an official NHS survey show.

The doctor’s surgeries rated the best and worst in Greater Manchester by patients have been revealed.

The latest GP Patient Survey, produced by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England, asked people across the country about what they think about their local GP practice.

We have picked out the five best rated and five worst rated in the city-region, according to the patient survey.

Across England as a whole 72% of those who responded said they had a good overall experience, down from 83% last year and 82% the year before.

A spokesperson for Ipsos said: “During the pandemic, public attitudes towards the NHS were very positive, and there was some evidence of ‘gratitude bias’ with patients adjusting expectations about care at a time when the NHS was under pressure.

“However, in the latest results, satisfaction with primary care has fallen significantly.”

The survey contacted 2.5 million people between 10 January and 11 April this year. Just under 720,000 forms were returned, representing a 29% response rate.
