The Trafford GP practices rated the highest and the lowest by the patients who use them were revealed in a survey.

The GP Patient Survey is a result of responses to almost 3,000 questionnaires in the first three months of the year.

Respondents were asked a range of questions about their opinions of their practices including accessing appointments and accessing online services or out-of-hours services. They were asked one question about their overall satisfaction with their practices.

In 2024, Timperley's Village Surgery tops the table after achieving an overall satisfaction of more than 94 per cent.

An additional six practices achieved an overall satisfaction of more than 90 per cent which is the same as last year.

In contrast Old Trafford's North Trafford Group Practice is lowest after achieving an overall satisfaction of less than 60 per cent.
