GP satisfaction: Clinics in Scotland ranked from best to worst – how did Tayside and Fife do?

The best and worst GP practices in Tayside and Fife for patient satisfaction have been revealed in statistics from Public Health Scotland.

Health chiefs sent out more than 500,000 surveys to homes across the country late last year asking for feedback – but just under a quarter responded.

Patients gave their thoughts on the overall care they’ve received as well as specific points about how they thought their last GP appointment went.

But what were the scores for GP surgeries in Dundee, Fife, Perth & Kinross and Angus?

Here, we break down patient satisfaction scores by area – and you can find the results for your local practice in our searchable table further down.
