Commenting on the findings, Guy Lawler, Managing Director of Vapekit, said, “Positive interactions with GPs are valuable to outcomes of long-term health, early diagnosis and general trust in the NHS. With so many of these practices beating out the country’s average by far, it’s also worth noting how many of the entries multiple areas, showing that quality care can be achieved across the nation. This also emphasises access to publicly available data, which helps hold practices to a high standard.”
