Friends and Family Test Feedback
The NHS Standard Contract requires that providers of NHS-funded services undertake the Friends and Family Test (FFT). The FFT offers patients of NHS-funded services the opportunity to provide feedback about the care and treatment they received. We are asking patients how likely it would be that they would recommend the service they have received from us to their friends and family.
I am so so impressed with the service right from the reception, the quick way they answer the phone call and their politeness while speaking with you is 100%. Also the GP, nurse, physiotherapist – all of them are wonderful, hardworking professionals and I am so so grateful to them for the good job they do.
Excellent team work between the GP, nurse and HCA including immediate treatment and planned follow up. Friendly and professional team and an excellent service.
Everyone at the practice is not only very good at their job but also caring and kind. What more can one ask for!
I feel the doctors, nurses, the admin staff and reception in cedar practice are professional, empathetic always there to listen to you and take you very seriously always ready to help.
A very smooth and professional service. How a modern practice should be.
I have been using Cedar Practice for many years & it has always offered a good efficient service which seems even better these days! Presumably good management combined with good staff!!
Made me feel comfortable and safe, understanding, was extremely helpful, left feeling good and had a appointment made with the hospital for the next day – unbelievable thank you.
I find the practice well organised the appointment booking system and online triage system clear. I feel practitioners listen and their advice is constructive and supportive with prompt turnaround for referrals and test results.
Lovely reception staff, helpful kind and friendly. My appointment was bang on time. The doctor was professional, clear and kind. I felt heard and left feeling so positive. 10/10
Have been with the practice 45yrs – they’ve always maintained an excellent level of service so why would I go elsewhere?
I feel that I have an exceptional group of GPs and healthcare practitioners who are generally interested in supporting me towards being more healthy. I think they’re great.
Surgery / staff have always been professional, attentive, responsive to questions and queries
Cedar practice is consistent with prompt and efficient patient care and customer services for over three decades I have used it. Keep it up, though it’s not an easy job
Professional, knowledgeable and reassuring. Addressed my concerns well. Good communication with good explanations about problems I had and created a plan of care.
Staff are very friendly and warm welcoming. As a patient most of time being loneliness and seeing smiling face for 5 minutes makes me feel better.
Big smile from GP, careful listening, quick analysis and decision for treatment and a short chat at end.
