Review titled Can only see a nurse practitioner
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 July 2024
Asked for an appointment to see a doctor - on arrival was sent to a nurse . I was never informed it would be the NP. Apparently there is a list of illnesses that the GP’s at this practice don’t deal with- only nurses do . This info should appear on the website ? Surely Patients should be told this when offered an appointment- “you’re not ill enough to see a Doctor as you have requested “.

Dear Patient Our Care Navigators are trained to book our patients in with the most appropriate person. Our ANPs are highly qualified and can prescibe for many conditions. ANP appointments are 15 minutes compared to GP appointments of 10 minutes. Patients that have been referred to the ANP almost always give us very positive feedback. If you were unhappy with the outcome of your appointment, please do let me know. kind regards Practice Manager

Review titled 4 week wait for phlebotomy appointment
Rated 3 stars out of 5

Requested a phlebotomy appointment on 18/7 - next opening only on 12/8. Told to go to the hospital. It appears this practice need more phlebotomists.

Dear Patient Thank you for your comment regarding our phlebotomy service. We are lucky enough to have retained a phlebotomy service in our Practice. Usually there isn't a 4 week wait for a blood test, however, we have been short staffed which can happen at this time of year. We have recently recruited a new member of the nursing team which will improve wait times. We are also extremely lucky to have a great phlebotomy service over the road at the hospital where a wait for a blood test may well be less during these very busy periods. Patients often opt to use this service instead. If you would like to discuss this, please do not hesitate to get in touch. yours sincerely Practice Manager

Review titled Rude doctor
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 July 2024
All staff excellent, except the gp, who was willing to stamp a letter, couldn't figure out how to use his laptop, then said he would charge £30 after previously agreeing to sign without charge. Very rude, condescending, lack of compassion towards pregnant partner. Should not be dealing with public with such attitude.

Review titled Superb Patient Care & Understanding
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Paul David Watkins - Posted on 25 March 2024
As with every experience of this practice, once again the patient experience and understanding was of the highest level - easy to contact (using the "call back" feature, polite and understanding Receptionist, timely call back from the Doctor (who understood readily and immediately what my issue was) with my notes and past medical history on hand to make a rapid decision for what was required - all with appropriate and good humour too!

Review titled Great Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

The surgery arranged for me to have a prescription renewed from the information that I gave them without me having to take up an appointment with doctor or nurse. The surgery communicated with me what they had arranged, in the timeframe they had said. What great service.

Review titled Excellent, accessible and supportive surgery.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by L S - Posted on 14 December 2023
I have been with Aylmer Lodge since I moved to England as a child. They have been excellent on every front. In recent months, I have faced into some extremely worrying health concerns, but this has been made better due to the unwavering support I have received during this time. The doctors are accessible, responsive, knowledgeable and supportive. I feel listened to, and that in itself is invaluable when facing serious health concerns. GPs often get a hard time, with being at the coalface of the NHS but I know how hard working they are and how they support their patients when it really matters. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough.

Review titled Great practice but disappointed with online booking
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 November 2023
Went to book on NHS app only to find that you can no longer book a telephone consultation with a doctor of my choice.And there is only one doctor or nurse if you want to book a face to face appointment.Very disappointed as I find booking stressful.Not good for patients with mental health problems.

Dear Sir/Madam Thank you for your review. We are continually looking at ways to improve our appointent system and value your input. We have recently made changes and contunue to tweak the system when necessary and where possible. It is sometimes difficult to get an appointment with your GP of choice due to days off and holidays but if you ask the reception team when the GP of your choice is working, you may find it easier to book with them when you go on-line. You can of course always be seen if your need is urgent on the day. We regularly discuss the appointent system at our weekly meeting and your suggestions will be discussed. Thank you for raising this with the Practice. You can always raise a complaint or suggestion directly with us. yours sincerely The Practice Manager
