It’s been a challenging time for the NHS after dealing with a “quad-demic” of seasonal illness this winter as cases of coronavirus, the flu, norovirus and RSV left hospital wards feeling the strain.
Despite the pressures, patients across Scotland seem to be satisfied with the care provided by their GP surgeries, results of an official Scottish Government health and care survey show.
The latest Health and Care Experience survey for 2023/24 asked people across the country about what they think about their local GP practice. The questionnaires were sent out in October and November 2023 and asked about people’s experiences over the previous 12 months.
More than 107,000 people registered at GP practices in Scotland responded, giving an overall response rate of 20%.
Of those who responded, 69% said they had an overall positive experience provided by their GP practice, up 2% on the 2021/22 survey.
