National Surveys The Practice population is randomly surveyed, by the NHS each year, as part of a national survey to access how the Practice is performing.  The latest national survey results can be viewed at: National Survey or by typing into your brower:  http://www.gp-patient.co.uk/results/results/factsheets/search/?code=K81059 Patient access to the surgery is a particularly important part of the survey and is directly linked to NHS funding. The Practice provides multiple pathways for you to see a health professional, as the GPs are extremely busy. Nurse appointments, triage and telephone consultations are used to meet a wide range of medical requirements.  The nurses are able to prescribe and so you should consult the 'Who do I need to see' chart at the end of this leaflet. Please remember the variety of pathways we offer when accessing the surgery and if you are required to complete the national survey.
