A GP surgery has been ranked in the top 10 after 1,000 practices were inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Seven Kings Practice, based at Seven Kings Health Centre in Salisbury Road, Ilford met all the standards required in the first wave of a national scheme.

These included quality of care and the condition and suitability of premises.

Dr Geeta Patel, a GP at Seven Kings Practice, said: “At Seven Kings Practice, the patient is at the heart of everything we do.

“We’re delighted that this has been recognised by the CQC and we are fully committed to maintaining these standards moving forward.”
