Review titled Yet another problem!
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Gary Lewis - Posted on 20 December 2024
So a couple of years ago I had a pain in my lower abdomen. Doctor looks at it, can’t see/find the issue so refers me for an ultrasound as it may be an hernia. Got the scan at local Hospital quickly and they said I didn’t have an hernia. Pain eventually subsided so I assumed it was muscular. Since then have had the pain a few times on and off. Fast forward to Dec 24 and I have a private full body mri. It was on offer as I had a previous mri for prostate issues that the gp wouldn’t refer as she said, and I quote ‘ it was too expensive’ Following the full body they have noticed an issue with my Gastro intestinal tract and recommend a referral to a gastro entorologist. So send the report to the go and ask for the referral and was told, by text, ‘ Dear Mr Lewis, Thank you for your request. The GP advises that whichever service performed the scan should arrange such referral, we aren't involved in private to NHS referrals, they should be done directly.’ I have now ask for a GP appointment for the pain in the hope that they will provide the referral. So the NHS don’t take private recommendations? What is the point of me paying for a service that saves the NHS money and frees up people and equipment for others if they don’t take these people seriously. You really couldn’t make this stuff up. It will be another poor review.

Dear Mr Lewis Thank you for leaving your 1* review of our service. I am sorry that we did not fulfill your request as you would have preferred us. If you needed the MRI referral for medical purposes then this usually would not be refused unless further investigation was not needed to provide you a diagnosis. If a private specialist recommends a referral then they should send this in your name, because passing this request to the GP delays your access to appropriate medical care. I urge you to contact your private specialist to nudge them to refer you to the Gastroenterologist to prevent further delay. As it stands, your current GP appointment request is still pending medical triage by the duty GP. Depending if you made a routine or same-day GP appointment request it can take up to 5 working days for you to be informed of the triage outcome. Kind Regards Piotr Patient Experience Team

Review titled Im so worried about the health service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 November 2024
Im have been waiting 9 weeks, with the surgery cancelling appointments for a blood test. I don’t really use the doctors, so when I do it’s because I have a genuine concern about my health. I’m still going to work to pay my taxes, but can’t even get a blood test. I’m worried and frustrated

Dear Patient Thank you for sharing your recent experience as a Haxby Group patient. We are sorry that you have been waiting nine weeks to attend a blood test. We do not routinely carry out blood tests at our surgeries anymore as the local authority has shifted this service to the blood-taking clinics locally at Acomb Garth, York Hospital, or the Community Stadium. The practice provides a blood form you can collect from your surgery when issued by a GP. If you are happy for me to give you a helping hand in finding out why you have been waiting for 9 weeks then please feel free to email me at hnyicb-ny.haxbypatientexperience@nhs.net providing further details. Kind Regards Piotr Patient Experience Team

Dear Patient Thank you for rating our surgery at a 4* rating. I am sorry that we were unable to provide you with the advice you sought. The NHS app is managed by NHS Digital which is seperate entity from the practice. If you wish to set up your wife on the NHS app then here is a link you may use to assist you in getting her registered: https://digital.nhs.uk/services/nhs-app/toolkit/libraries/nhs-account-on-the-nhs-website-walk-through-videos If you are referring to the proxy access whereby you want to intergrate your wife's medical record so you have access via your NHS app, then your wife will need to complete a Proxy Access Request form which is available at the surgery and return it herself with a copy of her ID. Kind Regards Piotr Patient Experience Team

Review titled Great Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Avril - Posted on 07 September 2024
It is not my intention to undermine any of the negative comments as they are patient’s genuine concerns and frustrations. I just want to say I have had a very positive experience this week using the Haxby Group Practice online service. I had an automated acknowledgment straight away and a text from a doctor the following day with a prescription from Haxby Pharmacy the same day. I, in common with a lot of people like a face to face appointment but on this occasion the online system was more appropriate and I was very happy with the prompt response from the doctor involved. I would recommend giving the online system a go if you are able to, even if it’s not urgent it doesn’t mean you won’t be dealt with.

Review titled Terrible time trying to get referred for IVF
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Emily - Posted on 15 September 2024
On going issues with the surgery regarding mine & my husbands fertility journey. After seeing a couple of GPS regarding issues with my cycle and concerns I have, nothing has done to help me. Tests have come back clear but no further investigations made without me having to chase them up constantly (still no answers!). Hit the year mark of TTC & was told by 1 GP we were put on the NHS waitlist for IVF & to call the fertility clinic after 7 weeks- did that & was told we’re not on the list. Eventually managed to be seen again by another GP to have the exact same conversation & was assured that we’ll be on the waitlist within the next few days, we asked if my husband had to do anything else to avoid delays & was told no. Rang to confirm the referral a week later & was told no but no reason given on why. Trying to contact Haxby to get answers has been a nightmare. Weeks later we were told my husband had to go through tests too, putting us even further back. It has been months now (told back in July that we’d been put on the waitlist) and we’re still not on the NHS IVF waitlist- it’s very emotionally distressing & no one seems to care to follow up with our concerns. It’s been a constant waiting game for basic tests & appointments with no follow ups to address the problems we’re still having when tests come back ‘fine’ & the problems continue. We cannot progress with our fertility journey until the surgery sends off our referral & no GP has got back to me in regards to my cycle concerns, even though I was told that they would. At a complete loss at what to do! Now because of these delays we’ve been told that we won’t probably be seen by the fertility clinic till the new year. We understand that these things take time however, we got the ball rolling quickly & made sure to clarify anything we needed to do. It doesn’t seem like anyone has a clue on fertility/cycle concerns & how to make an IVF referral.

Dear Emily I am sorry to read about your concerns regarding your IVF referral and I apologise that we have not met your expectations. Usually, when we send a referral the recipient clinic will contact you with an appointment depending on their wait times. We take all concerns very seriously and always aim to provide a caring quality service. Unfortunately, I am unable to advise you on what went wrong here without your patient details therefore if you are happy for me to assist you in getting these concerns resolved as soon as possible then please can you email me at hnyicb-ny.haxbypatientexperience@nhs.net with your patient details.

Review titled Terrible service again
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 August 2024
Having been admitted to hospital and then discharged, I experienced problems again and called 111. After attending A&E I was advised to make an urgent appointment the following day with my GP. I called Haxby Group Practice first thing to make this appointment, they said they would speak to the GP and be in touch, I received a text at 15.30 to say that my case was not a priority and I would receive an appointment for 3/6 weeks. I called to stress my discomfort and that I had no medication to take to ease this. I was advised to call 111 again, this I did and they said to call my GP as per the previous day! I again called and was told a Doctor would be in touch, after a while I called and was advised that the Doctor had said I wasn't a priority again. I attended the chemist who prescribed some pain/symptom relief. 2 weeks later and still waiting for a call back having chased this up, I received a text to say an appointment has been made in over a weeks time. I have now cancelled this and am moving to an alternative Practice. HGP have said I can complain, but I see no point in doing so as I don't believe it will change anything.

Dear Patient I am sorry that you are dissatisfied with the service you have received from the practice and feel the need to de-register as a consequence. Urgent appointment requests are assessed for your clinical need on the day by the duty doctor in balance of that of the other patients and the appointment availability which means you may ultimately be asked to wait for a routine GP appointment. However, we would expect you to contact us should your symptoms worsen whilst waiting so we could re-assess your clinical need, nonetheless this may not always result in you receiving a sooner appointment. 111 is an extended access service that works with us to offer medical care past our availability and may divert you back to the practice should they wish us to assess if there is anything we can do to support you however this may also result in you being asked to wait. If you would like me to take a closer into your concerns then please email me at hnyicb-ny.haxbypatientexperience@nhs.net and I will be happy to assist you. Kind Regards Piotr Patient Experience Team

Dear Mr Ledger We are sorry that you chose to leave our practice due to being dissatisfied with the service you received in the last two years. To explain our appointment process in more depth, all appointment requests whether, same day or routine, are triaged by a clinician on duty based on your clinical need. Hence, you may be offered an appointment on the day or via our routine waiting list which is currently an average of 4-6 weeks wait which is the advice my colleagues at the reception will provide you with when you enquire about wait times for a waiting list appointment at this moment in time. The wait times can change on a regular basis and we are working hard to gradually reduce this over time. When you notice that your symptoms change or develop during your wait then we recommend you notify us so we could re-assess your clinical need because it may very well may change and you may require a sooner assessment. Kind Regards Piotr Patient Experience Team

Review titled Awful
Rated 1 star out of 5

Shi (uppercase) Gmc No 7615558 telephoned me at home on Friday 17th of May. She appeared to know nothing about my clinical history and had not updated herself from my notes. It sounded as if she was on a speaker phone, and I could not hear her clearly, but my main concern was patient confidentiality as I wondered who else might be able to overhear. I attempted to provide a clear clinical history, not easy with the phone connection. I explained succinctly why I was requesting a particular medication which I had been prescribed by another GP, not at Haxby, in the recent past. I felt I was not being listened to. I would never agree to another face-to-face or telephone consultation with this particular doctor again. I was frustrated and upset. Fortunately, I was able to have a face-to-face appointment with another GP at the practice who sorted out my problem without any further issues.

Dear Patient Thank you for providing your feedback regarding your recent experience during your telephone consultation. We are sorry that the standard of the call was not what you would expect. Clinicians may choose to use the speaker phone to enable them to document their notes simultaneously when speaking with you and these consultations are usually held from clinical rooms to protect your confidentiality. Otherwise, the clinician may be working from home. If you wish us to take a closer look at your concerns then please email me at hnyicb-ny.haxbypatientexperience@nhs.net providing your full patient details and further details.

Review titled lost refferal papers
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 March 2024
I have a hearing check and I was told the I should get a referal for a full check as there is a problem. I was given a form to hand in which I did the same day, I heard nothing and ccotact the Haxby Surgery and waited for a reply 2 weeks later I received a text stating that they could noy find any forms about this. I contacted them again and was told that they were trying to find it. I fail to understand why. Iy was given in at reception the same day and I wacthed the receptionist place it into a tray. This is the second time Haxby have lost referral papers foe me. The last time it was for an operation and I had to get a new referal. At one time the Surgery was one of the best in York but now. The telephone system is bad, the online system is bad. and trying to get an appointment is non exsitent. If you do get an appointment it could send you anywhere except Haxby and that is where I live What has happened
