Review titled Test results no call
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 February 2025
I had a blood test and was awaiting the results which I received, normally you get a call discuss these with your doctor but now you get a text saying you need to call and make an appointment! Well that’s a joke I’ve called nearly every day for over a week now to be told there are no appointments available I have no idea if there is a health issue that needs medical treatment and this is causing stress and anxiety for me. This morning I was told I had not called early enough even though I’d been on hold for over 20 minutes.

Review titled Very poor
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 April 2023
I tried for 3 days to get hold of someone to make an appointment, on the 4th day I was on hold for over an hour (I rang at 8am) only to be told I couldn't have an appointment because I didn't call early enough! (Oh and they open at 8am on a Wednesday!!) So another day passes without my prescription or being able to speak to a doctor. I would suggest that instead of blaming the patients who have waited an hour to get through to the reception team, who by the way are lovely.... Maybe they should open another phone line? Or hire another receptionist? Levels of service here are poor at best, I would recommend you look elsewhere if you have moved to the area and are looking for a new GP.

Dear Patient, Thank you for your feedback, although I am sorry to read of the service you have received. The phone lines have been an issue since we went cloud-based, which is a switch we had had no option over. With it being cloud-based there are no ISDN phone lines and we do actually have more reception staff than we have ever had, so unfortunately this is an operational problem that I appreciate needs resolution. Believe me we are working on achieving this. As you have remained anonymous, I am unable to contact you to discuss further, but if you would like to contact the Practice Manager (jackie.rotherham@nhs.net) we would be more than happy to try to resolve any outstanding issues.
