a Positive patient experience defined as endorsement of “very good” or “fairly good” in response to question “Overall, how would you describe your experience of your GP surgery?” Odds ratios < .1.0 represent a poorer patient experience. The results are presented adjusted for level of caring commitment, age, gender, deprivation, ethnicity and general practice
