Review titled Bad practise
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 January 2025
I’ve waited a while for a non emergency appointment, couldn’t book on the phone as receptionist apparently only have so many appointments available to them, I had to go on a call back list and was eventually offered an appointment, although I was in contact with Lepton surgery as that’s the one I’m registered with and closer to me, the appointment was for the Kirkheaton surgery. I arrived at Kirkheaton fortunately 5 minutes early to be told my appointment is a telephone appointment, then told it was face to face but at the Lepton surgery! The receptionist at Kirkheaton was very polite and apologetic, I quickly drove to Lepton surgery, the receptionist was less helpful and didn’t apologise for a wasted journey and also an incorrect text reminder of appointment! The GP wasn’t particularly helpful, refusing a referral to a particular department as he hadn’t had a letter from a different department which I had a telephone consult with over 1 month ago? I left feeling like I’d completely wasted my time and an appointment that someone that needed it more could have had.

I had difficulty logging into the online prescription service. The receptionist was extremely pleasant and sorted the problem out for me.

Review titled Prompt appointment.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Martin Mansfield - Posted on 11 May 2023
Having cut my finger in the garden the previous day I rang at 8.30am to see if I needed to go to A & E for a Tetanus injection but was told the assistant nurse could see me at 10am and I was out by 10.15. Very prompt, friendly and professional service.

Review titled Not professional
Rated 2 stars out of 5

Doctors went home because of the snow, and didn’t have the professionalism to realise to inform the patients that they weren’t expecting a phone call. I was waiting 2 hours before I called to ask if I’d been forgotten. My advice is don’t have a phone call appointment, do it face to face, they can’t mess you around then. They’re just numbers to you, and they rush you in and out and don’t do there job properly. I’ve worked at another surgery and the stuff that comes out of some of the doctors mouths is disgusting, so it doesn’t give me a lot of faith here. They’re even too lazy to do a referral and dismiss you when you mention it. Something has to change. You’re making a lot of money each year, and what do you have to show for it? 2 minute conversations over the phone or in person and rushed out. I am very upset.

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback, I am very sorry that you are dissatisfied with the service at Lepton surgery. During severe weather conditions we make every effort to maintain business as usual, but unfortunately sometimes our services can be impacted. Ensuring the safety of our employees is very important to us and sometimes we need to make alternate arrangements if the roads are unfit for travel. However, all our GPs are set up to work remotely in these circumstances to ensure we can continue helping our patients. I am very sorry to hear that there was an issue with your appointment, and I would encourage you to reach out to the Practice Manager by emailing: admin.leptonsurgery@nhs.net We welcome patient feedback, and where we can make any changes to improve the patient experience, we are always willing to do so.
