Review titled Mainly excellent practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 31 January 2024
Only downside is the Klinik , down to me, not the surgery, I am still not getting used to it, generally no complaints, from doctors, nurses, receptionists, who all I have seen ( except 1 doctor, who I would rather cancel an appointment , rather than be seen by this doctor ) are all excellent , because of my experience, I was very wary seeing a new doctor ,after receiving a phone call , I was asked to come to surgery. On the 29/12/23 , But because how Ill I felt I knew I should be checked, so went to the appointment, I didn’t have to worry , the doctor was exceptional , checked me over, answered any questions , advised me on what to do if certain symptoms got worse , took time and listened to me , could not have asked for better treatment and understanding

Review titled Well organised practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I had my covid and flu vaccines and the whole process was very well organised. There was plenty of staff present to give directions and assistance and my jabs were given in very good time. The waiting time was minimal.

Review titled A practice that meets our needs very efficiently
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jim - Posted on 04 September 2023
I am a great fan of the Klinik system. It takes a while to answer the questions, but they are well constructed and they get to the point so that the doctor is presented with all the important information. Having used it a few times, I have found that I can be seeing a doctor within hours or having a physio appointment at the earliest opportunity. The doctor I saw today was very thorough and took their time to get all the necessary information and to be as reassuring as they could be. At no time did I think I was being rushed through or treated anonymously. The computer system ensured that all my notes were at the doctor's fingertips. The NHS gets a lot of criticism but the Moorings is a great example of how the service can be provided in an efficient and friendly way.

Thank you for taking the time to add positive feed back. We are very pleased with how KLINIk has improved our service. It can do this because every request for an appointment is clinically triaged and appointments are offered in appropriate time frames. Patients who require medical attention are seen when they need to be, also allowing patients who dont require urgent attention but still need to discuss something with a GP to be offered an appointment at a later date convenient to them. We just need to keep trying to convert patients to use KLINIK and not hang onto the telephone lines in a long queue. Liz Shaw manager Regards

Review titled Worst practice ever
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Very frustrated - Posted on 21 September 2023
I needed strong painkillers after a knee operation but the pharmacist contacted me and said I couldn’t have them. I have been given co-codamol which are useless. Hospital have contacted surgery today to request they prescribe what I desperately need. Another night of excruciating pain. They do not care. Have had other problems with this surgery not fit for purpose.

Good Afternoon I was sorry to have read about your frustration with the practice. Unfortunately because you have added this review without your name I am unable to look into the issue for you. I would imagine if our Pharmacy Team have declined certain medication for you, this would be in line with Pharmacy guidelines. If however you wish to discuss this and allow me to look into thye matter please contact me on my direct line. 0208 645 2646 Mrs Liz Shaw PM

Review titled Klinik
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Andrea Gostick - Posted on 08 September 2023
Over the past few weeks I have used the Klinik app and have found it really useful and easy you use. I had a couple of queries regarding medication and repeat prescriptions and one about a non urgent condition. In each case I had a response very quickly. My medication query was dealt with by a phone call the next day from a pharmacist, the repeat prescription problem was dealt with administratively the same day and for the non urgent matter I had a phone call within 2 hours of submitting my form for an appointment, offering me an appointment in 10 days time. Urgent cases are still dealt with by phone but so many of our queries are non urgent and the Klinik system really works well for theses non urgent matters.

Thank you for taking the time to respond in a positive way regarding our appointment system KLINIK. The general response from most patients is positive. We are still working hard o those patients who have yet to use it and continue to queue on the telephone. Our aim is for all patients who can use, to use KLINIK leaving the telephones free for those patients who can not. Liz Shaw. Practice manager.

Review titled The elderly
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 24 June 2023
What has happened to this Practice …. Used to be the best in the area now you clearly don’t care about the elderly and word of mouth would say you are the worst! You’re very quick to demand items such as hospital discharge letters but when another healthcare professional request info you don’t answer these requests. This makes it dangerous care of the elderly! Or May be you just don’t care anymore but these people are someone’s father, husband mother, wife

Review titled Quick response
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Tony Tucker - Posted on 07 June 2023
I require regular blood tests to monitor a brain condition. The surgery is good about sending text reminders for me to book an appoinment at the local hospital. As it happened, the day before I was due to have the last test, I had a full haematology blood test at CUH. I filled in the surgery form asking if I could skip the second test. Within 3 hours I got a reply signed by the same doctor I used to be able to see at The Moorings. It was great to know he is still watching, despite the anonymity of the new online Klinik system

Thank you for your feedback. All KLINIK forms are clinically assessed by two clinicians each day. That way we can ensure all patients requests are dealt with in an appropriate time frame. Regards

Unfortunately due to you signing this post anonymous I am unable to assist with your inquiry. All repeat prescriptions are completed within a 48 hour time frame. Acute items are usually dealt with within this time frame but sometimes there is addition information required and often a reason/query if not completed. I would suggest you use our KLINIK form and use the tab "I have a problem with a prescription order". A clerk will get back to you on that day to inform you of what the problem is. We would never ignore a prescription request so I would assume we were never in receipt of your request.
