At West Moors Village Surgery, we want to do all we can to help you with your well-being needs. 

What if together, we could do more for you?

Working with our colleagues in the Crane Valley Primary Care Network we offer a groundbreaking initiative designed to enhance local people's overall health and quality of life – Community SWITCH.

In the Spring of 2023, we redesigned with the input of patient and frontline staff feedback.  We provide a full range of NHS care services many of which can be accessed from this website. We are confident that our website will provide clear and concise help and give our patients the information they require in an easy and convenient format. It has been designed with the patient’s needs at the forefront of everything, from checking surgery times to letting us know what you think of us.

We are continuing our work to ensure that the website content and layout provides the information, advice, and access to the relevant services that our patients need.  

Please let us know what you think using our online Patient Communications Feedback survey form by following this link>>

Please tell us what you think about the care or treatment you have received from us using our Friends and Family Test Feedback Form>>  

Or if you prefer you can download, print and complete a paper version and return it to Reception on your next visit.  

Note this is for feedback only and not enquiries.

This form has been developed based on NHS national guidance to help GP Practices improve patient experience. Referred to as the Friends and Family Test (FFT), it is an important feedback tool that supports the fundamental principle that people who use NHS services should have the opportunity to provide feedback on their experience. Listening to the views of patients and staff helps identify what is working well, what can be improved and how. FFT feedback is regularly reviewed by the Practice team and published on our Feedback web page here>>
