FAMILY AND FRIENDS TEST
Here at Herrington Medical Centre we are continually working to provide a high quality and effective healthcare service to our patients.
As part of the improvement process we are conducting a Family & Friends Test – this consists of 2 questions. You may be given one at the time of your appointment, or you can answer the questions by completing the form at Reception, or you can complete the Contact Form available on this website with your response. We welcome your feedback and comments.
The 2 questions are:
1. We would like you to think about your recent experience of our service. How likely are you to recommend our GP Practice to family and friends if they needed similar treatment? (please tick appropriate box)
| Extremely likely | |
| Likely | |
| Neither likely nor unlikely | |
| Unlikely | |
| Extremely unlikely | |
| Don’t know |
2. Is there anything we could have done differently today?
NHS England require that the net earnings of doctors engaged in the practice is publicised and the required disclosure is shown below. However, it should be noted that the prescribed method for calculating earnings is potentially misleading because it takes no account of how much time doctors spend working in the practice and should not be used for any judgement about GP earnings, nor to make any comparisons with other practices.
The average earnings for GPs working in Herrington Medical Centre in the last financial year ending 2016/17 was £88,250 before taxation and National Insurance. This is for 3 full time GPs and 2 part-time GPs who worked in the practice for more than 6 months.
