The NHS has experienced a challenging winter, with hospitals facing a mixture of winter viruses as cases of norovirus continue to surge and with hospitalisations for the flu higher than at this time last year.
GPs are the frontline of the NHS, and according to the latest GP Patient Survey, produced by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England between January 2 and March 25 last year, the vast majority of us appear to be satisfied with our care.
Almost 700,000 patients in England completed the 2024 survey, which gathers information on how patients feel about their local GP, which reveals the best rated surgeries in Yorkshire and beyond.
Across England, the majority of patients described their overall experience as “very good” (37.1%) or “fairly good” (30.2%). However, not everyone is as happy, with 9.4% describing their overall experience as “fairly poor” and 9.5% as “very poor”.
Here we reveal the GP practices in Yorkshire which were rated the best by you. Surgeries are ranked by the number of patients that said they were “very good”.
