Review titled Not a good practice at all
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 24 July 2024
The appointment system is awful, I never get an appointment when I need. Let alone face to face even telephone consultation appointment is never available. It appears that The practice has no protocol for regular/routine blood tests for their patients not even for those patients who have compromised immune system. I was feeling unwell off and on since past 3 weeks hence I wanted to see my GP and discuss and get blood test done so at least I know if I have some vitamin or any deficiency or is there any other cause but each morning I called the surgery sharp at 8am, I have to wait on a long queue either to get cut off or being told that there are no appts available on the day so have to call them next day again at 8!! Next same disappointment. Few times there was recorded message that there was a staff training day so it was closed in the morning. All I needed was to see my GP for assurance that if I am in need of any medication I can have one. Nevermind luckily I am feeling better but still I need to have a full blood test to ensure that nothing new has developed in my health condition. I understand that GP’s and our entire NHS system is under so much pressure but I do deserve to get to see my GP face to face when I am generally feeling unwell.

Review titled Rude and dismissive
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 May 2024
Consulted 111 who booked a telephone appointment for me. Without any Dr speaking to me I received a very sarcastic message to go to E.D with my issue. I responded that it’s not a life threatening situation is that appropriate and they just repeated that’s the message the Dr sends. I went instead to urgent care centre who were very professional and helpful, diagnosis made, prescription for acute treatment given and forward management plan instigated. I feel vindicated that I am not imagining my symptoms and that treatment will help alleviate my suffering which has needlessly been prolonged!

Review titled Nurses are great
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 April 2024
Most of my appointments are usually in relation to treatments and services provided by the nurses at the GP, and I must say they are all lovely. I had my first cervical screening test with a nurse and she was fab, I was nervous but she was kind and explained the whole process as we went along to ease my nervousness.

Review titled Communication terrible
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 29 February 2024
The surgery never seems to be open or answering the phones. The website seems to have out of days opening hours as when calling at midday it says the surgery is closed and then reels off the opening and closing times which contradicts with the fact they are coded. So updates much needed. When given a phone call consultation, no rough time is given, and if you miss it, you have to start the process of making an appointment all over again. Very frustrating.

Review titled Reasons for leaving
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Christine Monks - Posted on 04 March 2024
Once again the surgery has not prescribed the correct medication. After being told by a rather abrasive woman emphatically saying that my prescription was sent electronically for my diabetic medication, it turns out it wasn't. The rest of my medication was, but the diabetic one wasn't and was put in paper form and is most probably around the surgery somewhere. I have a Dorset box with the same medication every month! Last month they did not send all of my thyroid medication, only 50 mgs instead of 75, apparently I have been taken off the 25 .according to the surgery. So why did I receive 75 in this months prescriptions. Absolutely useless and quite dangerous too.

Thank you for your feedback - I am sorry you were unhappy... we did have an issue with prescriptions at that time as I explained which has now been sorted. I do understand how you feel though and I am working to make improvements to the surgery in all areas - it is a work in progress.

A wonderful nurse took care of me today. She was so caring and very professional. She really calmed my nerves when I was feeling a bit nervous and I felt so much better once I had seen her.

Review titled Used to be great
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I had to have a smear test done today, and I can’t fault the nurse that did the procedure, she treated me how she would have liked to be treated and she talked me through everything that she was doing. It’s a shame that the practice has gone severely down hill I just can’t get an appointment to see my own doctor, I’m lucky that I don’t go to the doctors that often.
