Patients have had their say on the service they are provided by their GP in a thorough annual assessment.

The NHS GP Patient Survey 2023 asked patients for their opinions on 40 GP practices across the Ham&High patch, measuring their experiences on a range of topics including the ease of making appointments, waiting times, the quality of care given, practice opening times and out-of-hours services.

Looking at the results from 'overall satisfaction' from surgeries across parts of Camden, Barnet, Haringey and Westminster showed no real strength in any particular area.

Highest came Adler JS, in Finchley Road, Golders Green, with an overall satisfaction score of 95.32%.
