Share your experiences of accessing your GP (external consultation)

Overview

Residents across Cheshire and Merseyside are being urged to make their voices heard and help shape the future of local GP and health services by taking part in a new survey launched by local Healthwatch.

Plans to improve patient access to primary care services were launched in spring 2024. We want to see what change, if any, people have noticed since then in their experience of GP services.

The survey, open to all residents, will allow individuals to share their personal experiences of using, or attempting to use, GP services in the past 12 months.

Why your views matter

The information gathered will be used to identify gaps in services, highlight areas of improvement, and provide recommendations directly to service commissioners, ensuring that the voice of our community is reflected in service planning and delivery.

What happens next

The survey will remain open over winter. The results and recommendations will be published on local Healthwatch websites and shared with Cheshire & Merseyside Integrated Care Board (ICB) and local partners across Sefton.
