The GP Patient Survey results 2010

The Department of Health has recently published the results of its GP National Patient Survey which showed how satisfied patients were with the service they received between April 2010 and March 2011.

The Studfall Partnership is very proud to be the top rated GP Practice in the north of the county with a score of 98% for overall patient satisfaction.  We are also the top rated practice in Corby for the second year running.

To see the results please click on "The GP Patient Survey 2010" tab on the left side of this page.

Training Practice

We are approved by the East Midlands Healthcare Workforce Deanery to train GP Registrars and Foundation doctors.

GP Registrars are qualified doctors who have chosen General Practice for their medical career and are required to do two years training in a GP practice.

Foundation doctors are qualified doctors who have not necessarily chosen General Practice for their medical career.  They are required to do a four month placement in order to gain experience in General Practice.

We are also training medical students from Leicester University. They are  supervised at all times and do not make patient management decisions on their own.

We acknowledge that some patients may prefer not to see a doctor in training, or a student and we will respect any concerns you may have. Please let a member of staff know if you do not wish to seen by a trainee or be seen by the doctor with a trainee present.

Extended Hours

We offer appointments from  6:30 to 7:30 on a Monday evening,

If you do not have an appointment the PCT are still responsible for your care out of hours and you will have to contact Northamptonshire Out of Hours service on 03336 664 664 for Emergencies and Home visits.
