Revealed: The top 10 best and lowest rated GP surgeries in Peterborough and Cambridgeshire

The survey contacted 2.3 million people to gather information on how patients feel about their local GP and it reveals the best and worst surgeries in Lincolnshire and beyond.

Across the country, around a third of patients contacted returned the survey and the majority described the overall experience as ‘very good’ (44%) or ‘fairly good’ (38%).

Not everyone is as happy with their local practice though — 5% said their overall experience was ‘fairly poor’ and 2% described it as ‘very poor’.

The survey was carried out before the pandemic, between January and March 2020.

Are you happy with your local GP practice? Here we reveal the top 10 practices in NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group area which were voted the best/worst by you.

Surgeries are ranked by the proportion of patients that said they were ‘very good/very poor’.

In some instances, the number of people rating their overall experience is higher than the number of completed forms. This may be because, when calculating the response rate, the Patient Survey only includes forms that were completely in their entirety, with partially completed forms excluded. However the source data methodology is unclear on this.
