The annual GP Patient Survey for 2026 is now open, inviting patients throughout the Midlands to share their experiences and rate their local GP surgeries. This widely respected survey provides valuable insights into how well medical practices serve their communities, directly reflecting the views of those who matter most — the patients themselves.
Last year’s results highlighted several standout GP surgeries in the West Midlands, earning high praise from patients for quality care and excellent service. Leading the pack was Hampton Surgery in Hampton-in-Arden, achieving an impressive 98% positive rating from its users. Close behind were two inner-city practices: Newbridge Surgery in Wolverhampton and Wood Road Surgery in Northfield, both recognized for delivering exceptional patient care.
The survey covers a broad range of factors, including the quality of care provided by GPs, the ease of booking appointments either by phone or online, and the overall patient experience when attending the practice. Patients rate their surgery as very good, fairly good, fairly poor, or very poor, helping to create an overall picture of each practice’s performance.

These patient ratings not only help to identify the best and worst performing surgeries but also encourage GP practices to continually improve their services. The results of the 2026 survey are expected to be published during the summer, providing a fresh opportunity for GP surgeries to be acknowledged for their dedication to patient care.
