The GP Patient Survey is an independent national survey run on behalf of NHS England. It is sent to a random sample of patients across the country, so the results reflect what patients themselves say rather than what practices report.
In the most recent survey, 87.3% of our patients described their overall experience of Higham Hill Medical Centre as good. This placed us first among the 15 GP practices in Walthamstow.
The table below shows how Walthamstow practices compare on the overall experience measure.
Thank you to every patient who took the time to respond. We read the results carefully, including the areas where patients tell us we can do better, and they directly shape how we plan appointments and online access.
You can view our full results below, or look up any practice on the national GP Patient Survey website.
