Review titled Great Doctor practice.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by A . Subuola - Posted on 18 October 2024
I am short of words with my last Doctor's appointment on 17/10/2024. The Doctor's therapeutic practice was second to none since I've been using the nhs. In fact I really felt relieved after seen this wonderful Doctor. She's very empathetic, brilliant with the right attitude. She's doing the right job.

Review titled Great nurses!
Rated 4 stars out of 5

I visited the practice nurse for a blood test and she couldn’t have been more lovely. I am very scared of blood tests and she made me feel very comfortable and at ease. It was the easiest blood test I’ve ever had done. Thank you!

Review titled Empathetic and Active in Equal Measure
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Tony C - Posted on 16 July 2024
I recently moved to the area and joined the Urban Village Medical Practice to continue monitoring and medicating my Type II Diabetes. The changeover to a local pharmacy for my regular medication was handled seamlessly by the pharmacist, peace of mind from the outset. I had concerns about the monitoring of my diabetic stats but the pharmacist and practice nurse, C & K (not allowed to include names apparently), were both empathetic and active in equal measure, putting my mind at ease in no time at all, a huge thanks to both of you.

Rated 5 stars out of 5
by James - Posted on 13 July 2024
I had a blood test appointment on Wednesday and the nurse who carried out the appointment was such a pleasure. She made me feel incredibly relaxed, comfortable, and welcome in the practice, and was happy to answer any questions. She had a lovely energy about her, was very fun(ny) to talk to, and truly made my day. Thank you!

Review titled My shingles vaccination cancelled from the third time.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Still no appointment - Posted on 16 May 2024
My appointment for part two of my shingles vaccination has been cancelled for the third time. This time on the morning of the appointment (today 16/05/24) I have made arrangements to take time off for each of these cancelled appointments. I have now lost confidence in the practice and its ability to provide effective healthcare What is the point of national advertising campaigns on TV telling people over 70 to get the Shingles vaccination as a matter of urgency if you as my primary health care provider are incapable of delivery.

Dear patient, we are so sorry that you have been inconvenienced with the supply issues with the shingles vaccines. We understand how difficult it is to have 3 appointments moved or cancelled. We are waiting for our supply to arrive so that we can continue to vaccinate our patients who are at risk, the campaign has been so successful nationally that it has meant that stock is harder to get hold of locally. Again, we are sorry for your inconvenience Kay Keane Practice Manager
