Monitoring performance
To ensure that we continue to provide the highest level of service several performance-monitoring systems are currently in place:
Patient satisfaction
An anonymous survey is carried out of patients every year. Results are analysed and published. Any changes are resourced and undertaken wherever appropriate.

GP satisfaction
An annual survey is conducted with GPs by the Practice Principal.
Audit
Therapists' notes are audited yearly in accordance with CSP professional standards. Management systems are audited yearly in accordance with CSP service standards.
