Review titled Appalling Practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 October 2024
Cant get appointments like gold dust Have to satisfy reception of your ailment Appointments gone even when call as instructed 8am No continuity of who you see meaning varied standard of interest depending on the clinician Appalling re follow ups re annual bp and blood tests Have to chase and remind them to do & your treated like a hinderance for doing so Bloods lady looks like weight of the world on her & you usually have to remind her what checks she is doing Depending on her mood she is flippant or over reacts to those results Reported felt faint and concerned to try and get an appointment and b.p was very varied and often high granted asked for an appointment in afternoon after bloods Not a chance Receptionist sought guidance and 111 Patches or calling 8am following morning suggested when those things should be serious flags apathetic and disinterested Had things needing following up in past and left them cos no continuity or chasing a follow up appointment Puts people at risk cos i give up on getting appointment adequate time to speak follow up support or guidance Place used to be heaving now empty so where are all these booked up appointments Prescription change to had to chase and chase When was resolved offhand attitude Like Its sorted no big deal Well be Person Centred It maybe nothing yo you but is to the Patient Im in the NHS and Person Centred ness is at the heart of what we do day in day out. I shall very reluctantly go private for my health checks And when i get time be researching transferring to another G.p’s

Dear Anonymous. We are sorry to hear that you are having such difficulties accessing our services and that you are disappointed with the care you feel you are being provided with. As a practice we have have made massive improvements on patient access recently with us now regularly having a number of appointments available once all calls have been triaged. Based on your experiences you must have tried to access us on exceptionally busy periods which can occasionally happen due to holidays periods and fluctuations in demand. We continue to improve the patients experience by creating a culture of patient centered care however it appears in your recent experience we fell short which is disappointing and something we will continue to try and improve.

Review titled Great Nurse Consultant
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Paul Cullen - Posted on 15 July 2024
Unfortunately I can't remember his name but the nurse consultant who saw me on 15 July was excellent. Polite, professional, bang on the appointment time and friendly. He put me at my ease immediately and showed empathy and understanding when explaining my condition. Way way better than consultations with most doctors and just as (if not more) knowledgeable. Id prefer to see this guy, or one of the nurse consultants every time I go to the surgery so it might be an idea to give the option at triage or at least tell you that your appointment will be with a doctor or nurse consultant.

I was contacted by the practice to ascertain if my issue was improving and they made another appointment for me I attended the surgery and signed in on the machine after nearly 30 minutes late I went back to the sign in machine only to find I had not been posted as arrived I went to the receptionist only for it to be repeated I explained when i had arrived and it was the surgery that made the appointment after they discussed it between the office staff they offered me an appointment in eight days time they have CCTV installed so they could have checked just a complete waste of time I walked out in disgust and will make a further appointment myself I need to be seen soon as I cannot bend my leg

Dear Anonymous. We apologise for what seems to have been a technical error. I am pleased that as a practice we were able to contact you proactively and to find you an alternative appointment. We do however apologise that on the occasion in question yuo had a wasted journey. Unfortunately although the Team I am sure will have completely believed that you had arrived 30 minutes earlier as the clinical team would not have been informed and would have had patients booked in for appointments for the rest of the clinic it would not have been possible to fit you in, hence why you were provided with an alternative appointment date. If your issue is causing problems and is worsening we generally have appointments available every day to address this or alternatively we have online consultation appointments which can be accessed which are provided with appointments on the day where necessary.

Review titled Very positive experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Eleanor Hughes - Posted on 11 March 2024
I spoke to the duty GP today to express my concern for a relative. The GP was kind, thorough, listened clearly to my concerns and patiently addressed each in a methodical manner. We are grateful for the GP's help, especially in light of the extreme pressures that the GPs are under in the present climate.

Review titled Great service

I completed a Patchs appointment application yesterday for the first time and received email early this morning to say that I had an appointment the same day. Fantastic service, especially if you work and can’t get to make a call at 8am. I highly recommend this service.

Review titled Very poor service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by R Blackhall - Posted on 02 August 2023
After visiting for my first ever annual age related checkup. The nurse kindly got me an appointment for the very next day. After I mentioned that I was was struggling to walk and sleep with ongoing back pain, having not been able to obtain an appointment for 8 months. Greatly appreciated and I was really excited at the thought of getting some help. Again I was prescribed medication to help me sleep, they didn’t work last time and certainly haven’t again. Popping pills that don’t do anything for me is pointless, but hey you go the course hoping and praying. I just wish I could be examined properly or at least diagnosed and treated to stop the pain. I have had to visit a sports therapist at my own expense for the last 8 months to try and help keep me on my feet. As I explained to the Doctor on my visit the therapist says I have inflammation in the lower back and he won’t treat that part of my back. Why can’t my lower back be scanned or at least have a blood test to ascertain whether inflammation is present.
