Review titled Turning a corner
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 March 2024
I have had two appointments at Banbury Cross Health Centre this week, for two different issues and found the booking process much improved. When I needed to see a doctor on the day I phoned in I did so, and for the less urgent matter the booking system was easy and I was seen a week after booking which was fine . I have been critical of the surgery in recent years, but feel a change has taken place and they are now putting patients first and I hope this continues. The receptionists were polite and helpful ( although I still find it odd I need to tell them my symptoms ) the medical professionals were likewise polite and friendly and really appeared to care about my health and well being . Let’s hope this will be ongoing and that the surgery has decided to give good customer service and treat patients as individuals with curtesy. I am impressed and look forward to my next visit .

Review titled Poor appointment system
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Paul marshall - Posted on 15 March 2024
Very difficult to get a routine appointment, wait for ages o the phone only to be told to fill in a pre appt triage form, which if accepted an appointment will be arranged. The surgery accepted the triage form and confirmed I am on the waiting list, no idea how long this will be. Its no wonder A&E is always busy as no one can get a doctors appointment.

Dear Paul I am sorry to note that you have found the appointment system difficult to navigate. Do get in touch directly – feedback.bchc@nhs.net and we can help you with this. Generally patients are not waiting too long at all on the waiting list - around 10 days - and of course if your symptoms are worsening and you have a more acute need to see a GP then do call us back and we will fit you sooner. We are unable to guarantee which GP you will see with on the day appointments. Kindest thanks Jennifer Nichols Practice Manager
