Feedback from our PCN partners

I would recommend the service from Response

“The management team are very accommodating, always looking for ways to improve services to patients and working well with the GP practices, to ensure the service offer is efficient, effective and cost effective.

Response have been responsive increasing capacity within relatively short timescales, and worked well with us, as commissioners when changes have been required. We now have a joint injection service within the service offer, and are looking to extend this to increase the offer with prescribing physiotherapist.”
