Slough’s best and worst rated GP surgeries have been revealed, according to the patients that use them.
The GP Patient Survey measures the experiences of patients across a range of different topics, including how easy it is to get through to someone on the phone, the helpfulness of receptionists and satisfaction with the general practice appointment times.
And we've looked at the overall experiences of patients following a 2021 survey.
Crosby House Surgery, on Stoke Poges Lane, had 90% of its patients rating their overall experience of the practice as good, based on 148 surveys filled out.
And 80% of them were satisfied with the general practice appointment times available but only 38% usually get to see or speak to their preferred GP when they would like to.
