Review titled Helping out always
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jayne Derbyshire - Posted on 05 August 2024
Good Afternoon All, I just want to say thank you for all the help and advice I have received from Marden Medical Practice From Reception managerto my doctors, diabetes nurses and nurses, to other receptionist too. I know at times you must go oh no it’s me again, I apologise for so many different messages I send on the contact us page , however due to my disability and mobility issues I find myself going onto the contact page more often than not, right now also just trying my best to get my diabetes sorted out and slowly we are getting there. Once again I would like to thank all staff members for all their help and support. I can honestly say I’m quite proud of Marden Medical Practice for their cleanliness of surgery and keeping to appointment times as much as they could possibly do. Can I just add please be patient when it comes to appointments as we are all aware the surgeries are all very busy with limited availability on appointments and they will do their upmost to find an appointment for you all. Sorry I’m a bit annoying at times with e consult however I’m very grateful and yet again thank you.

Review titled Fantastic Reception
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs S - Posted on 05 August 2024
Had to drop something off for my mum this afternoon and the receptionist was dealing with a frustrated patient. Patient frustration was valid, but she was exceptional! What a credit to the practice. Keep up the good work, she was amazing 👏

Dear Mrs S Thank you so much for taking the time to post this review. Reception is the first encounter for patients coming into the practice and because of that, they often have to bear the frustrations of patients. However, we are so pleased that you witnessed our Receptionist dealing with the situation so professionally. We will ensure your positive comments are fed back to the team. Kind regards Libby Good Patient Services Co-ordinator For and on behalf of Marden Medical Practice

Hi, I just wanted to say that during my appointment I felt listened to, safe and respected. I usually feel quite nervous coming to an appointment but I was made to feel at ease with the Dr and I really appreciate the care and time he took with me. I also wanted to say that all of the reception staff are always so kind both on the telephone and in person. So thank you!

Review titled Unable to get an appointment
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 May 2024
I am finding it impossible get to an appointment. Early this year I had to go directly and see someone privately as unable to get an appointment and now for a new issue I still can’t. I ring up on multiple days and they’ve all gone. I’ve now been told I can’t ring up now until Monday for an appointment in 1-1.5 weeks if I can actually get one then. I doubt I will. This is a very poor system, I’m concerned for my health care but even more so for more vulnerable patients. I feel I have no option than to change practice.

I tried to book an appointment today at 9am As I have been told to do before Now I am told that you do not take booking for routine appointments on Fridays If you operated a private company like this l don’t think you would be in business very long

Dear Patient, We are sorry to hear that you have been disappointed with your recent interaction with us, and can assure you that we strive to get each of our patients the appointment they need Monday to Friday included. However, due to high demand, and in order to make our appointment system as fair as possible to everyone, we do not take bookings for routine appointments more than a week in advance. Of course, if an appointment is urgent or a patient needs to be seen before our next available routine appointment, we will be able to accommodate. There are also extended hours appointments available, pre-bookable through our Care Navigation team here at Marden which are available at evenings and weekends at various surgeries across Shrewsbury (more detail can be found on our website https://mardenpractice.gpsurgery.net). If you do need to discuss the matter further though, please do get in contact with me directly. Libby Good - Patient Services Co-ordinator For and on behalf of Marden Medical Practice

I’ve received fantastic service from this practice, the staff have always been efficient, approachable, reassuring and helpful with my concerns. After needing follow ups for blood tests and appt was made quickly with access to discuss possible treatments with GP, easing my fears and concerns.

Review titled Good luck getting an appointment
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 August 2023
I have now tried eight times to get an appointment with this practice. Each time I get told things like "We'll release more appointments as 12:00 on Monday, you'll have to call back". When I call back it's inevitably a call queue, and at the end of the queue, "Sorry, we don't have any more appointments, you'll need to call back on a different day when we've released more appointments". I'm sure this is so that the practice has what appears to be good statistics for a short waiting time, but the reality is that just getting an appointment takes weeks, during which time you don't appear as a statistic waiting for an appointment. The medical staff are great, but I'm now looking for a new GP where I can actually get to be seen.
