Review titled Appalling
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Brian - Posted on 18 January 2023
Used to be good place. Now it is intolerable. Rude receptionists who seem to be medically qualified for some reason. A simple request from Consultant at Addenbrookes for a new drug prescription is beyond their capabilities so I am using hospital instead.

Review titled Telephone trials and tribulations
Rated 4 stars out of 5

This review relates solely to the difficulties encountered in phoning for an appointment at 8:00am. The response suggests the call is connected and it is then necessary to listen to a long message before connecting to reception, at which stage (every call) I was in was promptly disconnected, despite calling at 8:00am on the dot. Reading others' experiences too, it would seem the current system is not working well in terms of patient experience. If, following repeated attempts to get into a queue (at e.g. no 13), a long wait ensues with no indication there will be no appointments left by the time the call is answered. It is no longer possible to call in person at 8:00am, as the doors open at 8.30am, by which time there are no appointments left. It is like Russian Roulette, as to whether one can connect to a receptionist or not! I believe the current system needs addressing as soon as possible. I have positive experiences of face to face contact with the nurses and GP's and think this aspect lets the surgery down. Given such a positive previous CQC report, it seems a pity that this aspect, of communication and accessibility lets down what is a great surgery, and when this could be resolved for the benefit of all. The current system seems very difficult for both patients and receptionists, who seem stressed out by it also.

Review titled Potentially good practice
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 November 2022
I would say this practice potentially could good. Some of doctors are better than usual low standard of NHS. The biggest problem is a ridiculous booking system. They told me that I have to call at 8 each morning, even though my appointment is not urgent. Apparently you can use app but not for children. So I need to spend hours before I have a chance to get one while trying to get ready for school work! Simply impossible
