GP Patient Survey 2025 results in North Central London
In North Central London ( Barnet, Camden, Islington, Haringey, Enfield) patients reported similar levels of satisfaction for most services, with some small improvements. This was reflective of the national trend.
"It’s promising that this year’s findings show modest increases in people’s overall experiences of GP, including an increase in the number of people given a choice of time, day or location for their most recent appointment, which we know from previous years’ results directly links to improvements in overall experience." Louise Ansari, Chief Executive, Healthwatch England.
