AVICENNA Medical Practice at Barkerend has been rated good in the latest quality care rankings by the The Care Quality Commission.

Under the CQC’s new programme of inspections, all of England’s GP practices are being given a rating according to whether they are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led. Professor Steve Field, Chief Inspector of General Practice, said he congratulates GPs and staff getting 'good' ratings.: “We know that the vast majority of England’s GPs are providing a service which is safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led. If that is what we find on inspection - we give it a rating of Good, and I congratulate the GPs and staff in these practices.”
