Patient Access Survey

This survey is about finding out how easy or hard it is to talk to or visit your doctor. The survey should take around 4 minutes to fill in and is for patients 14 years old and over.

We want to know what it’s like for you to make appointments, talk to the staff (like receptionists, doctors, or nurses), and hear what changes could make things better or easier for you.

The questions will ask things like:

  • Is it easy to call or use an app on your phone?
  • Can you get an appointment when you need one?
  • Do you like seeing the same doctor each time, or does it not matter if you see different people?

Your answers will stay private, and they will help us figure out what needs to be improved. It’s really important to know how patients feel, so we can make changes that help everyone.

You can do the survey online, or you can get a paper copy from reception in the practice. There will also be face-to-face and online meetings where you can share more experiences and ideas if you want to. The dates and times for those meetings will be posted on the website.

Cancer Screening

What is cancer screening?

Cancer screening is for people who do not have symptoms. Screening means testing people for early signs of cancer, or for early changes that could develop into cancer if left untreated

England has 3 national cancer screening programmes:

  • Bowel cancer screening
  • Breast cancer screening
  • Cervical screening

Lung cancer screening is not yet a national screening programme but is available across north west London. It is offered to people aged 55-74 with any history of smoking who are registered with a participating GP practice. There is currently no screening programme for prostate cancer.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

ADHD

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a disorder that is defined through analysis of behaviour. People with ADHD show a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity–impulsivity that interferes with day-to-day functioning and/or development.

ASD

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) influences how people experience and interact with the world. Autism is a lifelong neurodivergence and disability. Autistic people are different from each other, but for a diagnosis they must share differences from non-autistic people in how they think, feel and communicate.

Being autistic means you may feel things and react to them differently to non-autistic people. You may find socialising confusing or tiring, and you may become overwhelmed in loud or busy places. You may have intense interests, prefer order and routine, and use repeated movements or actions to calm yourself or express joy.
