Relocating Hornsey Wood Green GP Practice: Patient Feedback Report
North Central London Clinical Commissioning Group (NCL CCG) and Haringey Council are planning an Integrated Health and Wellbeing Hub in Wood Green, bringing a range of health services together in one central place in Haringey.
Part of this plan is to relocate Hornsey Wood Green GP Practice to Wood Green Shopping Centre in Autumn/Winter 2023, becoming part of the new Hub.
We engaged with existing patients from the practice to seek their views on the plans, using the following methods:
- Survey: Online plus hard copy form given to patients visiting the practice. We received 252 responses.
- In-person interviews: We spoke to 31 patients in person when they visited the practice, enabling us to reach a more diverse set of patients.
- Patient Participation Group (PPG) meeting: We attended the meeting on 8 February 2022 to capture feedback.
Key findings
Survey
- Most patients were happy about the plan to move to Wood Green Shopping Centre. 61% of patients were in favour of the move and 27% were opposed to the move. 13% were unsure.
