Review titled Great practice always quick response.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 November 2024
Easy to access appointment system online and phone call soon afterwards with a date and time to see a doctor particularly interested in my condition. Very reassuring rather than just being offered the next available time with any available doctor.

Fantastic service this morning. After filling in the online form at 8am this morning. I had spoken to a doctor within 30 minutes. The doctor was so lovely and understanding about my daughter’s skin problem. Great service and I will definitely recommend it.

Review titled Very quick appointment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Victoria Wilson - Posted on 24 September 2024
I telephoned this morning to report an ongoing health issue. Within fifteen minutes I had received a call back and a health questionnaire to complete. Within the hour I had seen a Doctor who thoroughly examined me and prescribed treatment. I am so grateful as the health problem is distressing and uncomfortable. I was very pleased with the high standard of care received. Thank you.

Review titled Where to start
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 June 2024
Let’s set on one side that the instructions handed out to get to this review page are inaccurate, that the reception process is slow and that the automated reception process is tucked away and hardly obvious, that the potholes in the car park demand ropes and crampons - so far typical nhs/public service experience. Poor. The reception area is depressing. I have been on medication for 18 months. Never seen a doctor. Had armfuls of blood taken, never been told a result other than a vague ‘we’ll let you know if there’s a problem’. Am I confident a message would get through? Do I believe a GP knows of me and whether I’m on the right medication? Not really. I’ve been referred to by the wrong name three times now. I’ve never seen the same person twice though they’re all very pleasant. Today’s lovely person (genuinely nice and efficient) would still have let me leave after a minute until I prompted her to read my BP readings, and then there was something that needed further investigation and a further appointment. I don’t know whether this is typical of today’s GP services - I haven’t been anywhere else to compare. There is no sign of pressure - the waiting room has been empty every time I’ve gone. This is not Aand E on a Friday night. I know I’m just supposed to be grateful that it’s ‘free’ (I know it isn’t, it’s actually expensive) and I know I’m supposed to clap rather than complain, but with some thought, energy and organisation plus a bit of leadership it could be so much better.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear your experience of the service was not of a standard you would expect. We are very conscious of the fact our waiting room looks in a poor state of repair. You may or may not be aware that we had a severe flood in September impacting on the ground floor of the building. We are still waiting for the insurance company to organise repair and redecoration and the contract is currently out to tender. We have been informed that work will start July/August which will most certainly transform the waiting area and associated clinical rooms. With regards to the potholes, the carpark is the responsibility of our landlord and we have raised the condition of it with them numerous times. We were informed they were going to complete the ground works last weekend but due to illness this was cancelled. We are waiting a revised date for the job to be completed but our landlord if aware that the issue is very urgent. Looking at the service from the practice, unfortunately, as you have left your review anonymously, I cannot investigate the care you’ve received to date. Could you therefore please get in touch so I can discuss this with you further. I would like to stress that we work very hard at to provide the very best service we can for all our patients. This is reflected in the number of 5-star reviews we receive on NHS Choices, so it is disappointing to receive such a negative review. Like other services within the NHS, primary care is under pressure and to accommodate the needs of our patients we provide several avenues for individuals to access healthcare, not just face to face appointments. If the waiting room does ever appear to be quiet it will be because we have seen our patients promptly, that our healthcare team are consulting by other means, for example online or via the telephone or they are out on home visits and care home rounds. With regards to continuity of care, if you were allocated a specific GP this would greatly increase your waiting time for an appointment which we deem unacceptable. We therefore allocate the first available appointment to ensure you are seen as quickly and efficiently as possible. This may result in you seeing a different GP but please be assured they have full access to your medical records and care history. It will not impact on the care you are given. Thank you once again for your feedback and I will wait for you to get in touch. Kind regards Rachael Pengelly Practice Manager

Review titled Great Staff and Outstanding Team
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mr J Jagger - Posted on 04 December 2024
We have been registered with igmedical for over 20 years and have had excellent medical treatment and service from them. More recently, I suffered from a veinous ulcer, and the 2 nurses who looked after my bandaging and medication for nine (9) months were outstanding in their patience and dedication to tending my stubborn wound. At the same time, their good humour was inspirational. igmedical is a truly terrific team with good doctors at the helm, and we patients are privileged to have them.
