Review titled Professional Care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Bill Craig - Posted on 25 October 2022
Extremely responsive healthcare from a doctor who gets things done, takes time to explain things clearly and cuts through the complexities of the NHS system to make things happen. Very impressed and very grateful to have this quality of healthcare.

Trying to contact surgery is an absolute nightmare. Once you finally get an appointment the service is good.

Review titled Can't get through to care navigator
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 31 October 2022
31st October. I telephoned Hughenden Surgery at 10.03. I am still waiting for a care navigator to answer at 11.25am. I will give it until 11.30am then write a letter. I don't know what else to do. I have been a patient of Hughenden Surgery since 1953 and I've never known it to be like this. The websites are also too confusing for older people - they just won't bother. It was so much better years ago.

Everyone was very helpful.Though the signing in machine can be a little difficult at times. Telephone access is however the biggest single problem.

I am due some results back from 5’weeks a go and I still can’t get hold of them as I can’t get through on the telephone…. Ever! It’s become a joke now. Either they have too many ppl registered and aren’t employing enough staff or it’s extreme bad management saving money. Get rid of the covid tents and look after your patients .

Review titled Good service
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Marc - Posted on 10 October 2022
Getting through on the telephone is frustrating and requires a good amount of patience. However, once an appointment has been made, the service is very good. It is probably worth informing patients that there is a requirement to wear a mask whilst in the surgery

Thank you for your feedback. We are in the process of changing to a new telecommunications provider that is better equipped for GP surgeries. We expect the move to be completed by the end of November 2022. To reduce the need for patients to telephone the Practice we have enabled AskFirst, a triage tool for patients to request urgent appointments, and Patient Access, for patients to book routine appointments. You can find more information on these services on our website https://ourpractice.co.uk/

Review titled Caring and efficient practice

After an emergency to A & E previously for nothing connected to this visit I found my treatment calmly and sensitively handled with information on what to do going forward

Review titled Great professional care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Nicola - Posted on 10 October 2022
In the last week I have seen two different GPs, two different nurses (one twice) and been referred for further diagnostic and evaluating tests at Hughenden Valley GP Surgery. I have been incredibly touched and impressed at how caring and professional all the staff have been. My concerns have been taken seriously and I have been treated with care and respect. I feel humbled by all this when I know how incredibly stretched the NHS is in every way. Thank you all

Review titled Recent good experience.
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 October 2022
My personal recent experience with the surgery: Over several appointments, I have had good care and kindness from 2 doctors, a nurse and several receptionists. The process of making the appointment was hampered by a shortage of receptionists and a confusing phone set up (hence the loss of a star), but once the phone was answered, receptionists were very helpful.

Review titled Very Disappointing
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 23 August 2022
This once used to be a great surgery. Covid apart it seems that the surgery has totally lost its way, some staff are excellent but others are just plain rude and totally unhelpful with an awful attitude. Phone when eventually answered is laden with so much pointless information. It’s pot luck as to the ability of who answers the phone. The whole place needs a serious review of its whole management ethos. Which again is such a pity as the doctors that remain are first class. Please someone take this place by the horns and sort it out before it goes into total failure.
