Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear you're having difficulty booking a face to face appointment. Since September 2022, most of our appointments have moved back to face to face following Covid-19 as we know our patients prefer to be seen face to face rather than over the phone. In June, we moved to a new GP appointment system in which all appointment requests are triaged by a GP. Patients can submit a medical request from 08:00 each working day via the website or NHS app. Admin requests can be submitted at any time, any day. If a patient does not have access to the internet, we advise patients to give us a call and our Patient Coordinators can process the request on behalf of the patient. The team will ask several questions to obtain as much information to enable to GP to triage appropriately. We moved to this new triage system to enable equal access to appointments based on clinical need to ensure appointments are being used appropriately. This system also means those who are not first in the phone queue at 08:30 each day are not disadvantaged. Even with the recent changes, there is still a daily capacity of requests to ensure we are working safely. If routine requests are at capacity but patients believe their request is urgent and cannot wait until the next working day, they are advised to call us so we can process an urgent request on their behalf to be triaged by the duty GP. Please get in touch with your personal details so we can investigate what has happened and understand why it has been difficult for you to get an appointment. I hope the above helps and I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Lauren Field Operations Manager

I have been suffering from shortness of breath and have received excellent care, thorough examinations. I felt that the gps were caring and sympathetic and I’m grateful to them both for their patience and understanding

Requested and was given a same day appointment. Receptionist was helpful and efficient and also advised that the system for booking appointments would be moving online next month. Although doctor was running a little late she was still very thorough, pleasant and helpful.

Review titled Good Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I was seen by a Practitioner Nurse although requesting a doctor's appointment but she was efficient and dealt with my problem to my satisfaction. I am pleased that I have continuity in seeing someone who is familiar with my medical history. The practice has my confidence that there is always the appropriate service available for a very wide range of problems.

Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you felt this way following your mum’s appointment with a GP today. All clinical appointments at Avonside Health Centre are timed appointments to enable as many patients as possible to be seen safely each day. Whilst some appointments may overrun, we try and stick within the given appointment time to prevent appointment delays across the day. Please contact us directly at Avonside with your details, so that we can look into it further for you. We look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Lauren Field Operations Manager

Staff here have all been really nice, friendly and professional, with my baby and myself. Calling for an appointment for baby's vaccinations has gone well. A really good practice.
