A survey has revealed which Hackney GP surgeries are rated best and worst by their patients.

NHS England commissions the GP Patient Survey annually and this year’s results show that 71% of patients nationally described their GP as ‘good’.

Three surgeries in Islington outperformed this figure, boasting patient satisfaction of more than 90%.

There was not a single GP in the area where less than 60% of patients rated their experience as ‘good’.

Best performing GPs

 

The Nightingale Practice in Lower Clapton and The Stratham Grove Surgery in Stoke Newington were the Hackney GPs best rated by patients.

For both, 93% of patients said that their overall experience of the practice was ‘good’.

The Nightingale Practice was said to be better at ensuring that patients usually get to see or speak to their preferred GP when they would like to (49% compared to 35% at The Stratham Grove Surgery).

But 81% of patients at the Stoke Newington practice said they find it easy to contact the surgery by phone, compared to 72% at the GP in Lower Clapton.

The Wick Health Centre in Homerton also performed highly in the survey, with 91% of patients rating it ‘good’.

Worst performing GPs

 

Hackney GPs performed well across the board, with no GP receiving positive feedback from less than 60% of patients.

Two GPs in Upper Clapton - Healy Medical Centre and Fountayne Road Health Centre – were rated ‘good’ by 61% of patients.

Patients said that they usually struggled to speak to their preferred GP. At both practices only a third of people said they spoke to who they wanted to, when they wanted to, a lot of the time.

Healy Medical Centre was the easier of the two practices to contact by phone, with 70% saying it was easy compared to 46% at Fountayne Road Health Centre.

The other Hackney GPs where less than 70% of patients were satisfied was Trowbridge Surgery in Hackney Wick, Stamford Hill Group Practice and The Clapton Surgery.
