The top doctors surgeries in Merseyside can be revealed today - but where does yours rank?
Edge Hill Health@Mossley Hill has beaten 245 other practices across the region to claim the number one spot as the patients’ choice.
Blackheath Medical Centre in Moreton was second and the Grove Road Surgery in Wallasey was third.
The new league table is based on the latest findings from the GP Patient Survey - a huge ongoing poll involving more than a million people a year.
It covers everything from the trust patients have in their doctor, to the attitude of reception staff and how easy it is to get an appointment.
Our data team has crunched the numbers in seven key areas: how easy it is to get an appointment, whether opening times are convenient, whether people trust the GP, whether the GP listens to them, whether the GP treats them with care and concern, whether receptionists are helpful, and how patients rate their overall experience.
More than 99 per cent of patients at Edge Hill Health@Mossley Hill felt their doctor listened to them properly, while 98 per cent said they were treated with care and concern.
More than 99 per cent said reception staff were helpful, and 97 per cent said their overall experience of the surgery was good.
Six of the top ten surgeries were practices in Wirral .

In order to rank all surgeries nationwide, the Reach Data Unit looked at weighted survey results in each of the seven key areas.
Each surgery was given a rank for its performance in each area. Those category rankings were then added up to give an overall ranking.
Surgeries which had fewer than 50 responses were excluded on the basis that the sample was too small to draw reliable conclusions.
