Review titled Chasing up the result of a breast screening.
by requirementzm47 - Posted on 01 August 2023
I had a breast scan in April 2023 at the Sir Ludwig Centre and received no letter with my results. I telephoned the Sir Ludwig Centre but only got though to the GP Practice based there and they had no contact numbers for the outpatient departments or the breast screening dept within their building. I even telephoned Homerton Hospital appointments department to see if they could get in touch with the breast screening unit at the Sir Ludwig Centre but they too were unable to help me. I obviously was anxious to receive the results, especially as my mother died from breast cancer. I got in touch with my GP Practice, Lower Clapton HC at the beginning of July. The reception staff and the Medical Secretary, Christina, continually chased this up for me. Eventually they got my results at the end of July. I am so thankful to the reception staff and Christina for their perseverance, patience and their caring service. They are a wonderful team and a credit to Lower Clapton. The services I and my partner have received from Lower Clapton over the years has been excellent we are lucky to have such a dedicated team of doctors and health professionals.

Review titled Unable to contact my GP
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 January 2023
I work Mon-Fri so I am available to receive a call during my lunch hours 1-2pm or after 4pm. Knowing this, my GP calls outside these hours. Obviously, I have missed both calls. I send another message the following day but the practise is closed at 1pm both Tuesday and Wednesday. This is limiting my access to services as a full time worker.

Sorry you're not happy with the system. We always try to call at the time individuals request but it can be difficult when we are very busy. We do always call twice. We are not closed after 1pm but due to unprecedented demand for the past few weeks we can respond only to urgent requests made by phone after this time. Without knowing what your request was about it is difficult for me to comment on how urgent it is. You could call us anytime between 08:00 and 18:30 if your concern is urgent. Some people prefer to contact us on a day off when they would be able to come in for a face to face appointment if this was thought necessary/ beneficial to assess your health problem fully. Alternatively, we do have extended hours access until 8pm Tuesday-Thursday which can be booked if you specifically request it in your askmyGp message.
