    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anne - Posted on 02 May 2024

    I have been on my tablets for pain and when I joined the surgery they revived all my medication and never even informed me the when I went to get my morphine it took them 6 days to issue it and even then they had cut the amount by half disappointed does not come close

    Dear patient, thank you for your feedback. Without your details I am unable to look into this fully. However, from your review I can only apologise that when you handed in your form to become a new patient it wasn't made clear the timescales needed to add you to our practice list and then get your repeat medications set up. I also apologise that you feel the medication doses given are not correct. Can I respectfully suggest you call our prescription team on 0117 9576470 option 2, the lines are open 10am-12pm and they will be able to help you further with this.

  2. Review titled Appalling

    Rang for an appointment today and was told to ring back in 2 days time as no appointments available. Absolute shambles of a practice.

    Dear John, thank you for submitting your feedback, you commented that you were unable to book an appointment on the day you telephoned the surgery, I am sorry that we were unable to offer you a routine appointment on this occasion due to the surgery being at capacity. Kind regards.

  3. Review titled Telephone Contact ! What Contact

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 08 November 2023

    I was asked to contact the surgery to make a telephone appointment to check up on my prescriptions after 2pm. After 41 minutes listening to a piano my position in the queue was 2 and i am still waiting. How many calls do they deal with?

    Dear patient, thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear of the delay you experienced whilst calling us, we do have a lot of calls to deal with. We have recently taken on 5 extra members of staff and once trained it should mean patients calls get answered quicker. Many thanks. Head of Patient Engagement.

  4. Review titled Unanswered e-consult

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 07 July 2023

    I submitted an e-consult on behalf of my child, requesting an asthma assessment and treatment plan. The e-consult was received by the Practice but I have not received any response from the Practice. I have been unable to get through by phone. I have visited the Practice in person to request an appointment with the asthma nurse, only to be told appointments cannot be booked directly and that a message would be passed on for the asthma nurse to contact me. This also has not happened. My only option now is to wait 4 weeks for a GP appointment. This is unnecessary and uses a GP appointment that could be used for someone else, as all we need is an asthma nurse review and treatment plan. Very disappointed but not surprised.

  5. Review titled No Improvement

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 15 February 2023

    Still a very poor level of support for people who are unwell. Phones always engaged, this very important issue has never been addressed which, in itself, is a disgrace for a GP surgery. No system for urgent appointments and, just in general, a surgery that doesn’t give you a feeling of confidence. Reception has improved a bit, it couldn’t have got any worse, at least that constant unhelpful and confrontational attitude has been quelled, hopefully the rude staff have left or been fired.

  6. Review titled Phone system Useless

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 30 August 2022

    I can rarely get anyone to answer the phone. It takes over an hour on hold almost any time you call. I have been number one in the phone queue for almost half an hour at this moment. How can that be working effectively??? Plus - we have to go through two minutes of long voice message every time we call. No need for it any longer and it can’t be best practice to have any answer message that long.
