The current abundance of click bait headlines about the “best” and “worst” GP Practices can only mean one thing… Its annual GP Survey results time!

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12318979/Worst-rated-GP-practices-England-ranked-Shock-NHS-analysis-reveals-just-one-10-patients-happy-surgeries-use-table-fares.html 

In this episode we explore:

00:00 Welcome and introductions
02:10 GP Survey methodology and purpose
08:48 GP Survey results 2023
10:18 PCN Dashboard
13:20 Survey Analysis Tool walkthrough & national trends
32:14 Positives and negatives of the GP Survey
45:16 Thought sand opinions from Andy & Gandhi

Understanding the GP survey:

https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/gp-patient-survey/ 

GP Survey FAQs:

https://gp-patient.co.uk/FAQ 

• Conducted independently by IPSOS
• Purpose of the survey?
• “We run the GP Patient Survey every year to track change over time and monitor the quality of services. The survey will help the NHS to improve GP practices and other local NHS services, so they better meet your needs.”

Where to find detailed information about methodology? Delving into the Technical Annexe:

• Weighted data…
• Confidence intervals? P43 - Are broad and can overlap for results with low numbers of responses such as specific questions at practice level data.
• https://gp-patient.co.uk/Downloads/2023/GPPS_2023_Technical_Annex_PUBLIC.pdf

• PCN Dashboard

https://gp-patient.co.uk/pcn-dashboard 

Using the analysis tool

• Comparative results and results over time - example looking at national data
• Comparing with neighbours or other practices

Positives

• Low sample size means only indicative at practice level and difficult to compare one practice to another
• Unfair to compare some practices with others... Comparing apples to oranges.
• Practices in difficult areas
