The GP Patient Survey is an independent survey run by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England. The survey is sent out every year in January, and is sent out to over two million people registered with GP practices in England. The GP Patient Survey is designed to give patients the opportunity to feed back about their experiences of their GP practice.
