The best GP surgeries in Swindon and Wiltshire have been named in a new report.

The 2026 GP Patient Survey asked patients to score the overall experience of using the surgery with which they were registered.

Nationally, there was a slight improvement in patient satisfaction, with 76.7 per cent saying their surgery was either "very good" or "fairly good" this year.



In Wiltshire, Mere Surgery managed to score 100 per cent, made up of 93 per cent of patients who said the service they received was "very good" and the remaining seven per cent ranking their surgery "fairly good".

Burbage Surgery, near Marlborough, won a 99 per cent positive rating with 91 per cent of patients saying it was "very good," nine per cent rating it "fairly good," and one per cent giving it a neutral score.

Tisbury also managed a 99 per cent ranking, with 80 per cent of patients saying the surgery was "very good," 19 per cent saying it was "fairly good," and one per cent each giving the surgery a neutral or "fairly poor" rating.

Hindon Surgery in Salisbury, Jubilee Field Surgery in Calne, Old School House Surgery in Great Bedwyn, and Ramsbury Surgery all received higher "very good" ratings, but were let down on aggregate by neutral ratings.

No Swindon surgery made the top of the list. The top 10 surgeries in Wiltshire were:

  • Mere Surgery 100
  • Burbage Surgery 99
  • Tisbury 99
  • Old School House Surgery Great Bedwyn 98
  • Hindon Surgery, Salisbury 97
  • Jubilee Field Surgery Calne 96
  • Ramsbury Surgery 95
  • St Melor House Surgery, Salisbury 95
  • The Orchard Partnership, Salisbury 93
  • Rowden Surgey, Chippenham 93

The GP Patient Survey is an annual, official patient experience survey commissioned by NHS England and run independently by Ipsos.

It samples adults aged 16+ registered with GP practices across England, using postal invitations with online and paper completion options.

Around three million people are invited, with the 2026 fieldwork running from 2 January to 13 April 2026 and yielding 654,714 responses - a national response rate of 22.1 per cent.

The Local Democracy Reporting Service has also been looking at the lowest-ranking surgeries in Swindon and Wiltshire.
