Review titled Almost impossible to contact
by Peter - Posted on 15 July 2024
Tried to ring, got a message that phone lines closed, tried e-consult message that was closed. I went for my diabetic annual review on 2nd July to be told I had a regular heartbeat and may have AF and needed an ECG which I undertook at Wharfedale Hospital on 9th July, I took the graph into GP on 9th July, since then I have heard nothing, I have tried times to contact GP practice without success. I am 71 years of age andunderstandably extremely worried about this potential life threatening condition but cannot get hold of a GP to advise me about the results. The new system is simply not fit for purpose.The

Review titled Diazepam
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Lynda Jojic - Posted on 21 May 2024
Been with this practice 22 years and have always found the staff and service great. However, having requested Diazepam for flying which I've had many times in the past, I've now been told it's not allowed anymore. Just a heads-up to other patients really, don't get caught out. I've just cancelled my holiday with only 3 weeks to go, so obviously lost all my money. This ban needs to be publicised better!

Dear Lynda Thank you for your feedback. The clinical decision made to stop prescribing Diazepam for flying fears was an NHS Leeds decision rather than a practice decision. Holly Archer Practice Support Associate.

Review titled Blood Tests taking over a month for results.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 August 2023
So I had a rerun of blood tests recently, Although I was fortunate to find a calculation and for them to get me in the next week for the test. The results come back from the lab and I'm told I will have to wait a month to speak with a doctor regarding the results. This is horrendous either there's follow up actions that are needed or they're saying there's nothing to be concerned with however to hold the patient in suspense is just cruel. My wife also had a blood test recently, to which they said they didn't get it to the lab ontime and have sent her to redo the blood tests at the hospital. I've never had as much trouble with quality of care as I have had at this practice.

Thank you for leaving a review. Please accept my apologies for any upset caused; I understand that waiting for any test result can be a worrying time. With regards to blood tests, we generally allow a minimum of 5 working days for results. Where test results are normal, we do not, as stated on our website, routinely call patients to advise. All results, however, are reviewed by a clinician and, where action is required, instructions, including appropriate timescales, are directed to our administrative teams. This could be, for example, to call the patient and arrange a GP appointment within 2 weeks, or to call the patient and arrange a nurse appointment with in 4 to 6 weeks. Any urgent matters are dealt with as a priority. Test results are also available to view via the NHS App. The majority of feedback we receive is extremely positive, with our clinical and administrative teams working together to provide a high quality of care, though I am sorry to hear this is not your experience. I would be very happy to discuss this with you - please contact the Practice to speak to me should you wish. Jenny Firn - Practice Support Manager

Review titled Ninety Nine percent Great
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Maxene - Posted on 25 May 2023
This practice have served me for 23 years. If they can’t get you in they send you to Otley! There is genuinely only one problem with this surgery and that is the car parking!! Too many new houses being built and no bigger practice! Modern surgeries are very complex to operate and the answer machine is a pain to listen to…. You can always have a favourite Doctor though don’t expect to meet with them again unless you can wait a month! Now I would love to know why you have to wait a month. Do Doctors only work part time. Is it just a hobby for them, sometimes? I have found Reception to be fantastic and I’ve used them sadly, hundreds of times. I wish to say “ Thankyou” to the reception team especially for always looking after me.

Thank you for leaving a 5* review. Where possible, we are happy to book you an appointment with your preferred GP, however, more urgent appointments will be booked with the first available clinician within the appropriate timescale. The telephone message is constantly reviewed and updated to reflect current issues. Our hard-working Reception Team are always happy to help. Best wishes, Jenny – Management Team

by Mr SW - Posted on 20 January 2023
I would like to thank all the staff at this practice for the outstanding care and compassion they show. They have helped me enormously, especially recently with some serious problem's. I have always felt able to ask for help and have never felt rushed or undeserving. They are a credit to the medical service in all roles. Thanks again.
