  1. Review titled Clean and helpful

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 01 September 2023

    From reception to the medical staff everything went smoothly. I was given the treatment I required and this was done in an extremely professional and friendly manner. I felt confident in the nurse I spoke with and they offered good advice.

  2. Review titled Impossible to see a GP

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 18 August 2023

    Needed to see a Dr due to being in pain and not being able to take over the counter medication for it due to a medical condition.Rang to book an appointment to be told only on the day appointment available. Booked a day off work to call on the day to wait in a long queue to be told at 8.10a.m. no appointments left.What is the point of this?. Not fit for purpose.

    Dear Patient, Thank you for your feedback on our appointment system. We have recently reviewed our appointment availability and, as well as having pre-bookable appointments available online via NHS App, we have more pre-bookable availability when a patient contacts via telephone. We have employed additional receptionists to reduce the wait on the telephone, which has led to appointments being booked quickly when our lines open at 8am. We also offer online consultations via Patchs on a daily basis and pre-bookable evening and Saturday appointments at our extended service at Highfield Hospital. Kind Regards Emillie Davies Deputy Practice Manager

  4. Review titled Disgraceful

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 01 July 2023

    Appointment system is atrocious . Unable to get an appointment for a child under 2 years of age. Directed to A & E !! A total misuse of this service . Unable to pre book appointments told to ring back following day and join the other thousands of patients trying to get through on the not fit for purpose telephone system alternatively attend the surgery in person to queue up . Completely lost for words at lack of compassion or empathy shown by receptionists . Appalling service or lack of service all round

  5. Review titled Zero appointments

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    It is impossible to get an appointment here since they moved. Can’t get through on the phone, none through patient access. Everyone ends up at the walk in centre.

    Took my two children in for their 1 year and pre school jabs. The nurse was lovely with us, very efficient and conscious of keeping it as calm as possible for the two of them. She even had extra stickers for them!

  9. Review titled New system!!

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Margaret Burke - Posted on 26 May 2023

    Best thing you’ve done!! Opening up at 8am so patients can queue speak to a real person and get a fast call back!! So much better than pressing that re-call button 200 (yes 200 times!!) & being No 10 in the Q and that’s when you have eventually got thru!! Usually takes 30 mins to get thru!!! What next showing up taking a number & being seen by next available GP That’s what we used to do & it worked!!

  10. Review titled Great practice

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    The doctor saw my 5 month old daughter this morning while she was suffering croup. I phoned at 8.30am and had an appointment for 9.20am. The doctor made this visit completely stress free and put my mind at rest. He was fantastic with my daughter and kept her smiling throughout. All of the staff here are fantastic and can’t thank them enough for going above and beyond. I have never had a bad experience here unlike other GP surgeries I have been to.
