Review titled Impossible to see or speak to a doctor
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Cat Glanville - Posted on 27 November 2024
For nearly a month, I have been calling the surgery every morning at 8 a.m., requesting a straightforward routine telephone consultation with any doctor to discuss the results of an ultrasound scan. Each time, I am told that appointments cannot be booked more than three months in advance, there are no routine appointments available, and I must continue calling each morning to try to secure one. However, all same-day appointments are fully booked by 8:05 a.m., making this an impossible task. I have even approached the “results team,” asking if they could simply read the report to me over the phone or send me a copy of the sonographer’s notes. Despite my assurances that I do not require a clinical interpretation—just the basic findings—they have refused, stating they are not qualified to provide this information. This surgery used to be excellent, but ever since Covid, the situation has deteriorated. Many GPs are now part-time or frequently unavailable, and it has become nearly impossible to book an appointment with anyone.

Review titled Web site
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by R.Bennett - Posted on 15 September 2024
The web site is so out of date it has not yet reached the current year of 2024! Information on it regarding flu and covid vaccinations is totally out of date and for anyone who does not have a smart phone, who does not do Facebook it is hopeless. It would be better to withdraw it from service than have it available but out of date.

Review titled Online eConsult services
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 April 2024
This is not a complaint, I just wanted to share my recent experience with Churchdown surgery. The surgery’s online eConsult opening between 4pm and 8pm on Monday to Friday, I’ve been tried to submit a request via online eConsult over the past 4days, sadly the service was not available every time when I try to use it, it stated on the practice website “you can try again tomorrow”. The same message appears again when I try on next day (the time I tried was between 16:05 and 16:10 over the last 4days). After a 30 minutes waiting on a phone call today after 4pm,finally I got a chance to speak to one of their staffs, I mentioned the issue of their online eConsult service, they said the service should be available (clearly not over the past 4 days), they then no interested to hear any more from me about the online service issue. That’s the reason I’m writing in here. I understand the practice is busy every day, that’s why I tried to use their online service instead of phone them. It would help if they could maintain the quality of their online service. Kind regards

I have been trying to get an appointment for 18 months and I have not been able to get through to make an appointment. I also am unable to access the e consult site.

Review titled Great practice and doctors
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 January 2024
I had pain in my breast and had fever, I've been seen by a doctor in a same day, after full examination I've been given antibiotics and clear advice and guidance what will happen next. The doctor called me a few days later to see how I am and if its getting better. Really nice to see a gp who cares for their patients.

Review titled Excellent service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Not been registered with the surgery long but always had great experiences! Contacted them about a couple of issues and managed to speak to a doctor and receive a prescription same day. I’ve always felt listened to and communication between appointments and investigations has been brilliant. The availability of e-consult is also great and means I don’t have to wait in queues to call reception. I was recently away from home and needed an urgent prescription. I completed the e-consult online and the doctor arranged my prescription and sent it to a pharmacy near where I was visiting. Excellent service every time and would highly recommend.

Prior to my telephone appointment with the GP, a receptionist called me to confirm the date. The receptionist called late afternoon, early evening and was polite and friendly. The GP called on the date specified and early in the morning so I wasn't waiting for the call long. She was really helpful and gave clear and professional advice. Despite the NHS strikes going on currently, Churchdown Surgery continues to deliver an excellent service. I am not someone who needs the doctor often at all but my experience when I have has always been great. Thank you.

Review titled Friendly and helpful staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by J Everett - Posted on 05 May 2023
I honestly find this practice so wonderful and helpful. Each time I call I anticipate a long queue but I am always pleasantly surprised when the call is answered much sooner (my past two calls were answered within a minute) although I appreciate early morning they are probably drowning in calls. The receptionists are always helpful and kind and I have never felt so grateful to live in a village with such a nice GP practice. The practice is clean and modern and all GPs/nurses I have encountered have been friendly and efficient in their work. The online consultation works very well and means face to face appointments can be given to those who truly need it. Thank you for all your hard work.
