Mini Poll (2) How is your GP Surgery Doing?

(ONLY for Barnet residents or patients with a GP Practice in Barnet borough)

Your promised update from the Barnet Primary Care Group (PCG) regarding your GP surgery!

In the Spring, the PCG asked Barnet residents to complete Mini Poll 1 regarding how aware they were of the annual IPSOS GP Survey https://www.gp-patient.co.uk/which asks patients to rate their own surgery.

The PCG Mini Poll 1 found out that whilst 90% of residents said they were interested in knowing their surgery’s rating, only 17% knew of the Survey’s existence and only 11% knew how their surgery rated in relation to others in their area.

Mini Poll 2, still totally anonymous, extends our awareness raising exercise through face-to-face interviews and electronic polls.  Mini Poll 2 includes 2 different questions from the first Poll. We are looking for all Barnet residents to answer this poll, particularly If you answered our first Poll!
1.Do you know how your surgery is doing in comparison to other local surgeries and those nationwide?
2.Have you heard of the IPSOS GP SURVEY?
3.Would you be interested in finding out how your surgery is doing?
4.Do you think this information would be useful/important to you/ patients in general?
5.Did you see and /or complete our first Mini Poll 1?
6.Have you seen our poster publishing the Mini Poll 1 results in libraries/ Community Centres/ on line/ elsewhere?
7.Is there anything else you would like to say/add? All information will go back to IPSOS and also allow us to pick up on any common themes.
The information below will help us understand the needs of our different communities and we encourage you to complete the following questions. All your answers will be treated in confidence and will be stored securely in an anonymous format. All information will be stored in accordance with our responsibilities under the Data Protection Act 2018.
8.In which age group do you fall? (Please tick one option only)
9.Are you: (Please tick one option only)
10.Please would you put in the first 3 characters in your post code e.g SE16
Find out how your surgery did this year (2022/23) using the link https://www.gp-patient.co.uk. Searching for your own surgery by postal code gives the fastest result.

The results of both Mini Polls 1 and 2 with your comments will be sent to IPSOS to support their work. Any further steps arising from this will be published by Barnet Primary Care Group on their website – https://cbplus.org.uk/portfolio-items/cb-primary-care-group

We hope you have found the project interesting and useful. You should now be able to check on your local surgery and give good advice to new neighbours about how to find an effective GP Practice!

Thank you for your time.
