Reception teams can play an important role in our GP practice experience, from making appointments to ordering repeat prescriptions or inquiring about test results.
The latest GP Patient Survey, produced by Ipsos on behalf of NHS England, highlights patients’ experiences with GP reception teams across the country.
More than 700,000 patients in England completed the 2025 survey, which was carried out between January and March last year, and gathers information on how patients feel about their local GP.
The survey uncovered patients’ experiences with the reception and administrative team at their GP practice. Across the country, the majority of patients described their GP reception team as ‘very helpful’ (42%) or ‘fairly helpful’ (41%).
