An independent survey, run on behalf of the NHS, asked patients to share their views on their registered practice.
The annual GP Patient Survey allows patients to compare practices in their local area to see which performs the best across a range of categories, as rated by its own patients.
In the ‘overall experience’ category, patients are able to share their view of the practice as a whole and can rate it on a scale of ‘very good’ to ‘very poor’.
The lowest-scoring practice saw 63% of its patients, who completed the survey, rate it as good or very good.
These are the top 17 GP practices in Northumberland for overall experience, according to patients who took part in the 2020 survey.
The percentage score for each practice includes both good and very good ratings.
In the ‘overall experience’ category, patients are able to share their view of the practice as a whole and can rate it on a scale of ‘very good’ to ‘very poor’.
