It’s been a challenging year for the NHS, but despite this, patients in Lancashire seem to be satisfied with how their local GP Practice is run.
The results of the GP Patient Survey 2025 are in, with more than 700,000 patients in England taking part.
Carried out between January and March this year and produced by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England, it gathers information on how patients feel about their local GP.
Patients are asked to rate their GP service overall, their experience contacting their GP the last time they tried, NHS services when their GP was closed, pharmacy services, and dental services.
This year, the results were positive, with the overall experience of services improving significantly since the previous survey in 2024. The majority of patients described their overall experience of their GP practice as ‘very good’ (44%) or ‘fairly good’ (31%).
