Background information about the survey
• The GP Patient Survey (GPPS) is an England-wide survey, providing practice-level
data about patients’ experiences of their GP practices.
• Ipsos MORI administers the survey on behalf of NHS England.
• For more information about the survey please refer to the end of this slide pack or visit
https://gp-patient.co.uk/.
• This slide pack presents some of the key results for NHS WOLVERHAMPTON CCG.
• The data in this slide pack are based on the August 2018 GPPS publication.
• In NHS WOLVERHAMPTON CCG, 15,172 questionnaires were sent out, and 4,247
were returned completed. This represents a response rate of 28%.
• Prior to 2015 these slide packs presented Area Team averages for each CCG. These
are no longer included following the integration of Area Teams into the four existing
Regional Teams. However, CCGs can still see how their results compare to those of
other local CCGs.
• The questionnaire has been redeveloped for 2018 in response to significant changes to
primary care services as set out in the GP Forward View, and to provide a better
understanding of how local care services are supporting patients to live well, particularly
those with long-term care needs. The questionnaire (and past versions) can be found
here: https://gp-patient.co.uk/surveysandreports.

Introduction
• The GP Patient Survey measures patients’ experiences across a range of topics, including:
- Making appointments
- Perceptions of care at appointments
- Managing health conditions
- Practice opening hours
- Services when GP practices are closed
• The GP Patient Survey provides data at practice level using a consistent methodology, which means it is comparable across organisations.
• The survey has limitations:
- Sample sizes at practice level are relatively small.
- The survey does not include qualitative data which limits the detail provided by the results.
- The data is provided once a year rather than in real time.
• However, given the consistency of the survey across organisations, GPPS can be used as one element of evidence.
• It can be triangulated with other sources of feedback, such as feedback from Patient Participation Groups, local surveys and the Friends and Family Test, to develop a fuller picture of patient journeys.
• This slide pack is intended to assist this triangulation of data. It aims to highlight where there may be a need for further exploration.
• Practices and CCGs can then discuss the findings further and triangulate them with other data – in order to identify potential improvements and highlight best practice.
• The following slide suggests ideas for how the data can be used to improve services.
• Given the extensive changes to the questionnaire in 2018, this pack does not include trends over time.

Guidance on how to use the data
• Comparison of a CCG’s results against
the national average: this allows
benchmarking of the results to identify
whether the CCG is performing well,
poorly, or in line with others. The CCG may
wish to focus on areas where it compares
less favourably.
• Considering questions where there is a
larger range in responses among
practices or CCGs: this highlights areas
in which greater improvements may be
possible, as some CCGs or practices are
performing significantly better than others
nearby. The CCG may wish to focus on
areas with a larger range in the results.
• Comparison of practices’ results within
a CCG: this can identify practices within a
CCG that seem to be over-performing or
under-performing compared with others.
The CCG may wish to work with individual
practices: those that are performing
particularly well may be able to highlight
best practice, while those performing less
well may be able to improve their
performance.
The following suggest ideas for how the data in this slide pack can be used and interpreted to
improve GP services:

Interpreting the results
• The number of participants answering (the
base size) is stated for each question. The
total number of responses is shown at the
bottom of each chart.
• All comparisons are indicative only.
Differences may not be statistically
significant – particularly when comparing
practices due to low numbers of
responses.
• For guidance on statistical reliability, or for
details of where you can get more
information about the survey, please refer to
the end of this slide pack.
• Maps: CCG and practice-level results are
also displayed on maps, with results split
across 5 bands (or ‘quintiles’) in order to
have a fairly even distribution at the national
level of CCGs/practices across each band.
• All data is taken from the latest / August
2018 publication (fieldwork January to
March 2018).
• For further information on using the data
please refer to the end of this slide pack.
* More than 0% but less
than 0.5%
100% Where results do not sum to
100%, or where individual
responses (e.g. fairly good;
very good) do not sum to
combined responses
(e.g. very/fairly good) this is
due to rounding, or cases
where multiple responses
are allowed.
When fewer than 10
patients respond
In cases where fewer than 10
patients have answered a
question, the data have been
suppressed and results will
not appear within the charts.
This is to prevent individuals
and their responses being
identifiable in the data.

Services when GP practice is closed
• The services when GP practice is closed questions are only asked of those who have recently used an NHS service when they wanted to see
a GP but their GP practice was closed. As such, the base size is often too small to make meaningful comparisons at practice level; practice
range within CCG has therefore not been included for these questions.
• Please note that patients cannot always distinguish between out-of-hours services and extended access appointments. Please view the results
in this section with the configuration of your local services in mind.

Statistical reliability
Participants in a survey such as GPPS represent only a sample of the total population of interest – this means we cannot be certain that the results of
a question are exactly the same as if everybody within that population had taken part (“true values”). However, we can predict the variation between
the results of a question and the true value by using the size of the sample on which results are based and the number of times a particular answer is
given. The confidence with which we make this prediction is usually chosen to be 95% – that is, the chances are 95 in 100 that the true value will fall
within a specified range (the “95% confidence interval”).
The table below gives examples of what the confidence intervals look like for an ‘average’ practice and CCG, as well as the confidence intervals at
the national level.

Practice 100 6.93 10.21 11.08
An example of confidence intervals (at national, CCG and practice level) based on the average number of responses to the question
“Overall, how would you describe your experience of your GP practice?”
For example, taking a CCG where 4,000 people responded and where 30% answered ‘Very good’ in response to ‘Overall, how would you describe
your experience of making an appointment’, there is a 95% likelihood that the true value (which would have been obtained if the whole population had
been interviewed) will fall within the range of +/-2.02 percentage points from that question’s result (i.e. between 27.98% and 32.02%).
When results are compared between separate groups within a sample, the difference may be “real” or it may occur by chance (because not everyone
in the population has been interviewed). Confidence intervals will be wider when comparing groups, especially where there are small numbers e.g.
practices where 100 patients or fewer responded to a question. These findings should be regarded as indicative rather than robust.

Further background information about the survey
• The survey was sent to c.2.2 million adult patients registered with a GP practice.
• Participants are sent a postal questionnaire, also with the option of completing the
survey online or via telephone.
• Past results dating back to 2007 are available for every practice in the UK. From 2017
the survey has been annual; previously it ran twice a year (June 2011 – July 2016), on a
quarterly basis (April 2009 – March 2011) and annually (January 2007 – March 2009).
• For more information about the survey please visit https://gp-patient.co.uk/.
• The overall response rate to the survey is 34.1%, based on 758,165 completed surveys.
• Weights have been applied to adjust the data to account for potential age and gender
differences between the profile of all eligible patients in a practice and the patients who
actually complete a questionnaire. Since the first wave of the 2011-2012 survey the
weighting also takes into account neighbourhood statistics, such as levels of deprivation,
in order to further improve the reliability of the findings.
• Further information on the survey including questionnaire design, sampling,
communication with patients and practices, data collection, data analysis, response
rates and reporting can be found in the technical annex for each survey year, available
here: https://gp-patient.co.uk/surveysandreports.
