The principal source of information about patients’ experiences with general practitioner (GP) surgeries is the GP Patient Survey that is commissioned by NHS England. For hospitals, the main source is the Patient Experience Survey Programme that is carried out by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

The results of these surveys are publicly available on the NHS England and CQC websites.
