Review titled Greatly improved and loved practice
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Linda Holmes - Posted on 11 October 2023
I joined the practice in 1976, and it has seen my self and my family through the joys and troubles of life. The last few years have been bumpy for the practice and it has saddened me to see it going through such a turbulent time. Last week I visited the practice and was heartened to see such a visible change. From the reception to the doctors surgery it felt better. Booking my appointment was easy the appointment was confirmed by text, the waiting area felt more organised. The new doctor was lovely and it was so reassuring to know he was a permanent member of the team. I’ve had more communication from the surgery booking my blood test review without me even contacting them. I feel reassured that the tide is changing and the practice will return to the friendly reliable service it always was. Kensington road surgery has always served its community well because of its personal approach to its patients, it’s wonderful to see it retaining that approach but embracing more efficient and effective methods of delivery. I look forward to future developments and more improvements.

Review titled Appointment issue
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 August 2023
Despite ringing for the last 5 days and spending hours on the phone waiting to talk to a receptionist unable to book an appointment I call at 8.30 and by the time I get through all appointments have gone. Told to queue outside at 8.30 - great if you're well enough but I have mobility issues and can't do this! Have been with the practice a long time and have never known it as bad as this!

Rated 1 star out of 5
by Laura Siracusa - Posted on 18 July 2023
In the past 6 months we have experineces very poor service from the pratice. We have not been informed of test request from the hospital ( last week we have been notified of an test request on 25 may from children outpatience - 2 months late) not provided with appropriate container for the test, denied the possibility find alternative solutions. The staff is not friendly and communication is poor

Dear Laura As you are aware from our complaint response via NHSE, General Practice do not hold these containers and we went above and beyond to assist you. If a hospital orders any test it is their responsibility to report on that test not the GP. This was all detailed in our response. Julie Mayall Practice Manager

Dear anonymous I am saddened to read this review however as this is now 12 months ago I am confident that our systems have improved. Kensington Road have recruited 4 additional clincal staff and are out to recruitment again. I cannot comment further as you have chosen to remain anonymous, however should you wish to contact me directly I can look into this for you

Review titled Great staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 June 2023
I contacted the Kensington Road surgery this morning to ask for an appointment face to face with a doctor for my partner The receptionist was extremely understanding as I was so urgently in need of help. They were able to fit my partner in later in the day. The doctor was a ’ locum’ who was unknown to us However. We were were treated with sympathy and concern and within a short time we had been assured that help is there. Thank you to all the staff We do appreciate your patience and help. I don’t want my name on this review as the matter is very personal
