Data collected each year (data collection Jan–Mar; publication July) using a
push-to-web (online-first) methodology: randomly sampled patients are mailed
invitations (from the patient register / PDS) and asked to complete an online
questionnaire, with a paper questionnaire offered in the final mailing and
telephone support where required. Results are weighted to be representative of
the registered patient population. Full sampling, weighting and questionnaire
details are set out in the GPPS technical annex.
Purpose:
To measure patients’ experience of GP practices and related primary-care
services so commissioners, practices and NHS England can monitor access, quality
and patient satisfaction and target improvements.
