Review titled Appointment for my dad
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 February 2023
Trying to get an appointment for my 87 year old dad with his gp. The only option is for 5 weeks time before 9 am. There are no appointments available (ever) after 9.00 am unless you are willing to be number 35 in the queue and secure one for that day. Apparently they are all block booked. As it’s not possible to call at that time, I’m not sure how I’m ever going to get him an appointment. It’s basically them refusing to provide him care and wondering if I can report them to nhs.

Dear Patient Thank you for taking the time to post a review, I am very sorry you have experienced difficulty in arranging an appointment for your father, we are experiencing exceptional demand at the moment. However, we do have pre-bookable appointments available for up to 6 weeks in advance and these are available at different times of the day, with different clinicians and not just available before 9am. If you would like to contact me to discuss matters further, please either email reception.rushbottomlane@nhs.net or call us on 01268 205033. Many thanks Liz Adams Practice Manager Rushbottom Lane Surgery

Review titled Consistently great service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 January 2023
I’ve been with this practice for over twenty years. I find it very easy to get in touch with the surgery to make an appointment, order a repeat prescription or make a general enquiry. All staff are polite, friendly and happy to help. This surgery came recommended and it has never disappointed.

Review titled Useless phone line
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 January 2023
After trying time and again for a week using option 3...tried option 5 and actually got through to someone within 5 mins....their excuse was sheer volume of calls which I dont believe for one minute...everyone use option 5 as a back up

Dear Anonymous Thank you for your comments, option 5 is to book an appointment for an NHS health check and is open between 2-4pm daily, this is a dedicated extension for patients who have been invited for a health check. We are experiencing exceptional call volumes at the moment and if you would like to make contact with me, I'd be most happy to share the data with you. Liz Adams Practice Manager

Dear Anonymous Thank you for your review, we are in the process of switching phone providers, but because of contractual commitments this is taking a little more time than expected. We will be providing updates both on our website and social media of the future changes and switch over date. Please feel free t contact me if you would like to discuss things further.

Review titled Telephone system not fit for purpose
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 January 2023
i have been a patient with this practice since it first opened, and it was always pretty good. However since around 4 years ago it has fallen off a cliff in its ability to provide any kind of a patient service. The telephone system as many people have noted is beyond a joke, and could very easily be improved with some very basic changes. In addition, there seem to be more and more persons working in the reception/ administration area, with less and less efficacy. I n addition to the basic problem with actually getting to speak to someone, when you do the is very often no appointments available. By far for myself, and my very elderly Mother, the drastic deterioration of the prescription service needs urgent attention. Almost every prescription we have needed in the last 12 months has been either very late, incorrect, or gone missing. I have lost count of the times I have had to take time off work to go there in person to sort out prescription problems, that should never happen in this day and age. I am 58, and my Mother 94, and neither of us have ever experienced the sort of issues we have had in thelast 12 months with whoever is " in charge " of prescriptions. It has been so bad in general that my mother has decided to sell her jewellery that she has had her entire life, so that she can be seen privately before she runs out of life. In short this practice is abysmal.

Dear Patient Thank you for your feedback, I am the fairly new practice manager at Rushbottom Lane Surgery and I'd really appreciate the opportunity to discuss your concerns further with you. We are aware of the phone issues and are working on replacing the system as soon as the existing contract permits us to change. If you would be kind enough to contact me either by email reception.rushbottomlane@nhs.net or by calling me on 01268 882168 alternatively pop in to the surgery and ask to speak to me and hopefully, we can resolve your concerns. Sincerely Liz Adams Practice Manager
