We want to know if Covid is still impacting on GP services and the level of care you are receiving.
Are you having difficulty getting an appointment? How long are you having to wait? Are you having the kind of consultation you want – i.e. face to face rather than virtual?
What about waiting lists and referral times for procedures and how this is affecting you?
Can you help us by completing a short online survey? It should only take around 10 minutes and after completing it you can enter a prize draw for the chance to win a £50 Amazon voucher.
We will also be holding a more detailed 90-minute virtual focus group to look in more depth at any issues raised. Everyone taking part in this anonymous session will receive a £35 shopping voucher.
We will use your responses in a report which will be shared with all South Tyneside GP practices and commissioners of primary care services, which will make recommendations for improvements based on your feedback.
We would really appreciate your views so please click below if you’re happy to continue.
If you would prefer to complete the survey over the telephone, you can ring Lisa Scarratt at MMC Research & Marketing in Sunderland (our research partners who are carrying out the survey for Healthwatch) on 07951 986864. Alternatively, you can email Lisa at lisa@mmc.agency and she can email a copy of the survey for you to complete.
