The latest GP Patient Survey (GPPS) results have now been published. The infographic below details the headline findings of patients’ experience of healthcare services provided by GP surgeries, including experience of access to GP surgeries, satisfaction with opening hours and experience of out-of-hours GP services.

 

Ipsos undertakes the GPPS on behalf of NHS England. GPPS is a survey of adult patients registered with GP practices in England. Data is published twice yearly at practice, CCG and national levels.
