Reception teams are our first point of contact at our GP practice and play a big role in our overall experience.
The latest GP Patient Survey, produced by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England, sheds light on patients’ experiences of GP reception teams across the country.
More than 700,000 patients in England completed the 2025 survey, which was carried out between January and March 2025, and gathered information on how patients feel about their local GP. The 2026 GP Patient Survey is currently underway, with results expected in July.
The survey uncovered patients’ experiences with the reception and administrative team at their GP practice. Across the country, the majority of patients described their GP reception team as ‘very helpful’ (42%) or ‘fairly helpful’ (41%).
