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 received excellent care. The doctor listened carefully to my concerns, treated me with kindness and respect, and explained everything clearly. I am very satisfied with the service provided by Cedar Practice.
We are patients with the Cedar Practice and have been for decades. Each member of my family is treated with dignity, respect and we are listened to when things aren’t quite right. We appreciate this.
Excellent person on reception and brilliant GP – both really helpful and speedy response
Been with the Cedar Practice since 1992, never had a problem. My children are also registered, helpful, friendly & supportive.
I would especially like to mention how caring, attentive, and polite the nurse was. I truly appreciate the kindness and professionalism shown throughout. Thank you very much.
The doctors are nice and friendly and at reception they are very helpful as well.
I was given an appointment on the same day due to an urgent issue, for which I was extremely grateful, and given careful, thorough and thoughtful attention, with speedy onward specialist appointments. I couldn’t have wished for more.
Excellent caring doctors, nurses and staff. Great digital booking service
GP was clear, professional and kind. Staff were friendly and helpful as well. Premises was clean and well maintained.
I am always listened to by your team, who are always helpful. I know if I or my daughter have a medical emergency we will be accomodated and given appropriate care. Based on my recent experiences with secondary care Cedar Practice is performing better for patients clinically and in terms of adressing complex issues appropriately.
I have been consistently very impressed by the efficiency of the practice and the level of care provided.
The service I received was faultless.
Very helpful, informative and friendly walkthrough of my blood test results and recommended follow-up actions.
Kind and helpful reception staff, helpful and respectful GP!
