  3. Review titled Horrible Practice

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Sandeep - Posted on 24 March 2024

    A real lack of accountability and ability to follow up here 1 month ago I asked about travel vaccinations and was told to call at 8am the next day to book an appointment, I was on the phone for an hour only for someone to say that it's actually a travel form I need to fill in, I was sent one electronically and 2 weeks later I followed this up only to be told they hadn't received it even though it shows up on my phone Then last week I was told to fill in a paper form, I have filled out 2 and had no calls back No one cares at this GP surgery and it really is a joke with how they conduct things Please do yourself a favour and register elsewhere, I will in the short term future because this is horrible compared to my boyfriends experience where they got back to him promptly in 1 week and he lives in Croydon

  4. Review titled Disappointing Experience with Carpenters Practice

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 15 March 2024

    Title: Disappointing Experience with Carpenters Practice - Church Road My experience with Carpenters Practice - Church Road has been consistently disappointing. Despite multiple attempts to secure an appointment, I have faced nothing but frustration and inconvenience. Today, I called promptly at 8 a.m. as advised, only to be met with unavailability for weeks and an abrupt end to the call. This lack of access to essential healthcare services is unacceptable and reflects poorly on the practice's ability to prioritize patient needs. Furthermore, the practice has failed to provide basic access to my health records since 2021, a critical aspect of healthcare provision that should not be overlooked. It is concerning that such fundamental issues persist within the NHS. I urge NHS England to investigate the shortcomings of Carpenters Practice - Church Road and take swift action to address them. Patients deserve better than the subpar service provided by this practice. In summary, my experience with Carpenters Practice - Church Road has been disappointing, and I would not recommend it to others seeking reliable healthcare services.

  6. Review titled Extremely Poor Service and Accessibility

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 28 November 2023

    My recent and ongoing experiences with Church Road Practice have been extremely disappointing, prompting me to share my concerns to alert others. Unbearable Call Waiting Times: Today, I endured a wait of over 1 hour and 20 minutes as the fifth person in the call queue, only to be informed that they were fully booked for the day. This has been a recurring issue, and it's disheartening that after such a prolonged wait, no appointments were available, with the suggestion to try again tomorrow. This is unacceptable. Inaccessibility During Emergencies: During instances when my children were seriously ill, attempts to secure an appointment were futile. This led me to use emergency services at Queens Hospital for prompt care. The inability to access timely care in urgent situations is a major concern. Prioritizing Call Queue Over Patient Urgency: The practice seems to prioritize call queue position over the urgency of patients. It's disconcerting to feel ignored, even when severely ill, and be asked to call again the next day. The lack of immediate attention to urgent cases is alarming. Ineffectiveness of Dr. Iq App: Despite the constant suggestion to use the Dr. Iq App for appointments, it has proven to be a subpar solution. The application lacks essential features, making it impractical for patients. My attempts to book appointments through the app have always been unsuccessful. Consistent Lack of Improvement: Despite being registered with Church Road Practice for over one and a half years, I cannot recall a positive experience. The consistent lack of improvement and apparent disregard for patient concerns is disheartening. In conclusion, I am compelled to caution others against choosing Church Road Practice as their GP. The challenges I have faced in accessing timely care and the lack of responsiveness indicate a concerning pattern. Think carefully before selecting this practice for your healthcare needs.

  7. Review titled Prominent practice

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 23 August 2023

    I joined of this practice since 2011, met lots on f respectable health care professionals on different time slots. Most of them was great and also great their service. Even on covid time I got appointment by phone. Though appointment in this practice isn’t straight forward, need to wait longer but it’s worthy to keep patience. As a diabetic patient I got all the service here like blood test , eye screening test, etc , no need to go other practice. There is a pharmacy close to the practice so I get my all medications from here.

  10. Review titled Worst practice

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 27 February 2023

    Tried booking an appointment after waiting for 2hrs on the call, said no appointments were available and called the next day, even Tried to book an appointment through their app. I don't have any option left so called 111 for advice, they managed to book online consultation through my GP. I'm so annoyed by their service that it's not the first time it's always difficult to get an emergency appointment with this GP. I feel like it's better to visit A &E instead of wasting time by trying to get an appointment.

    Dear Patient, I would like to apologise for your experience. We aim to facilitate and provide both pre-bookable and same-day appointments for patients who contact the surgery. When a patient requests a same-day appointment, we aim to provide this to patients who contact the surgery from 8 am on the day. We always strive to meet the needs of patients and have allocated telephone and face-to-face appointments for those patients who need to be seen on the same day. The demand for same-day appointments can vary from day to day and can have an impact on this availability on occasion. On this occasion, we may be unable to offer appointments to you. Our reception team are all trained care navigators and will ensure that some brief details are taken from patients to ensure that patients are supported as much as possible to be seen by the appropriate clinician. We have a varied team of health professionals to deal with patient needs as well as access to refer patients to community services such as pharmacies, for increased same-day access. We continually monitor and review patient demand to ensure that we have the right level of availability for patients to access our clinicians and to achieve effective and efficient patient flow. We have recently made changes to our appointment system to increase the number of same-day, vulnerable slots and pre-bookable appointments that are available and have recently recruited more GPs as well as clinical Pharmacists. This will ensure that we continue to meet the needs of all patients who access our services and can offer more pre-bookable and on-the-day appointments. Thank you for taking the time to raise your concerns. I hope this letter reassures you that we have taken your comments seriously. If you do have any questions or wish to discuss the matter in more detail, please contact the practice manager on 020 8534 8057 and we can arrange a convenient time and date to meet. Thank you Carpenters Practice - Practice Manager
