Review titled Terrible if you actually need an appointment!
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 March 2025
My gp surgery says you I now only get an appointment on patches. This doesn’t ever, ever work for me. There is never an appointment and i am terribly ill with serious illnesses that needs urgent care. They say I cannot ring for an appointment any more. They say the order comes from above. Terrible choice for vulnerable patients like me. I will have to try to change gp.

Review titled Communication skills
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Yvonne - Posted on 13 January 2025
I visited the practice to request a repeat prescription this evening. It was 6.20pm, I was trying to catch the reception before it closed as my request for a repeat was not straight forward. I was running late from my own shift as a nurse at the hospital. I completed the request but the young receptionist refused to take it from me and told me to go outside to post it in the box on the wall. When I said this made no sense as she would the need to get up , go outside, unlock the box and get the form. She was rude in her nonsense response to me. Maybe communication training would help her in future interactions with patients. I am a senior nurse in the NHS and found her whole interaction with me unsatisfactory.

Review titled Great experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I do not attend the GP unless absolutely necessary. I attended yesterday for an appointment after having a telephone consultation and the treatment I received was 2nd to none. My appointment was at 11am and I didn't have to wait long to been seen and I was out in no time having been checked over with a course of antibiotics, thank you so much.

Review titled Customer service
Rated 2 stars out of 5

I rang today for an appointment, after 129 calls I was greeted by a Receptionist who was rude and unhelpful, you ring as you need help, not to be greeted by rude staff. I get they need to ask information on the reason as to why but they can go about it a different way manners cost nothing

To continue on from my below feedback I actually went to the doctors personally to see if I would be getting a call back . Only to be advised that the doctor had gone home for the day and was only working the morning , this was never told to me. So I had been sat waiting for a call I was never going to get The customer service, communication between staff is atrocious

Review titled Very Bad Experience
Rated 2 stars out of 5

I managed to get through to the doctors OK and registered for a call back , stupidly my phone was on silent and I missed the call back (the doctors had phone back 3 times within the space of 2 minutes) When I phoned the doctors back to advise I had missed the call back they said they would leave another message with the doctor to phone me back this was at 10:30am with about an hour of the missed phone calls. Guess what I never did receive that call back from the doctor to book an appointment. I really wanted to leave a complaint but I wasn't sure how or were I would do this on their website

Review titled Absolutely atrocious
Rated 1 star out of 5
by David - Posted on 11 October 2024
Cannot get through till all appointments gone. All appointments go to people queuing up for 8pm, if you can't get there you've got no chance. Usual - head to walk in staff there hate Fir Park same old complaints. Walk in tells you you need expediting for emergency surgery but only gp can do this, back on the merry-go-round. Next day finally get through to surgery all appointments gone, surprise surprise, told that I have to use the app and use patches. Keep getting error code 404??? Finally get to log in Stage and it clearly states that this is not an emergency service. I Doctors at fir park seem absolutely great it's just getting to speak to them. If I could book my self into the vets I would care there is far superior.

Review titled NHS Health Check
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by James Welch - Posted on 20 September 2024
The Service I received was exemplary. The practitioner carried out all the tests in a friendly & professional way. I felt very comfortable. The level of detail & explanation of results was what I would expect in the private sector. Very impressed. I was talked through all the results and how they impacted on my life. I never felt like an "Inconvenience". Really Pleased

Review titled Really considerate consultation
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I had a face to face appointment for a complex problem. The doctor explored every angle with me and left me re-assured that suitable treatment was available. There was no rushing or "screen gazing" just complete focus on the part of the doctor on my problem until I was happy. Really impressed!

Review titled Drive to ensure patient was treated correctly
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Thomas Dunning - Posted on 29 May 2024
Dr Tom Wellens sent me to have blood test. On receipt of the results he immediately contacted me to inform me I needed to go to Whiston hospital with low white blood cells. He tried to obtain a bed but failing that he wrote a personal letter that ensured those working at A&E understood the urgency of my condition. It was because of that drive and determination by Dr Tom Wellens that has lead me being seen by the hematology department who intend to undertake bone biopsy to assess what is actually happening with my blood. Thank you Dr Tom Wellens
