Review titled Worst surgery for getting response on telephone
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Simon - Posted on 15 April 2024
I rang to make an appointment to have blood test because they gave short supply of repeated prescription medication and they wanted me to have blood test. I rang twice, I waited over one hour on each option on phone to told there was no one available to take my call.

I have been trying to see a GP for on going chest pain and they decided to give me a f2f appointment two weeks later which is too far. I have called them every day to bring my appointment closer as i need help urgently they’ve not offered anything. Their phone system is rubbish. My mom requested an appointment for fatigue and she got it next day. How do they triage their appointments? They need to look into their appointment booking system as it’s clearly not working. I feel like im being neglected.

Review titled Zero stars
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 January 2024
If I could give this practice zero stars I would! Honestly do not register here! You can never get a GP appointment when you need one because their triaging system is rubbish. I was on the phone for over an hour this morning at 8am (when they tell you to call) and got to caller number 2 and then the practice cut the line because all appointments were taken today. I called again and went back into the queue of over 30!! I am livid! The reception team or patient services team need proper clinical training as to what can be signposted and what is classed as urgent- I'd say coughing up blood is urgent which requires an urgent same day appointment- not call back tomorrow!please look at reviewing your triaging and booking system urgently!

Dear Patient I am sorry to see that you have struggled to contact the Practice via the telephone. We are currently experiencing increased demand on our telephone lines and our patient services team has been working very hard to answer calls under the additional pressure. I recognise that difficulties in accessing the Practice can be extremely frustrating for our patients and I apologise unreservedly for any upset or inconvenience. You can also request an appointment by attending the Practice reception from 8am or using our online option. Kind regards Patient Experience Team

Review titled Bad customer service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 July 2024
I have tried to get an appointment for a few months but I cannot get a response from the reception team, especially when medication is needed for both of us and the reception team's attitude is appalling as I don't have the NHS app and I have some health issues to discuss but to no avail.

Review titled Poor service
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 May 2023
I was on the phone for almost 2 hours only to be told there were no more appointments and I was to call back again tomorrow. Thankfully, it was for a new doctor's note and not medication, but, to think I have called in for the last three days and have been given the same reply, I have felt quite exasperated. I asked if going into the surgery would be any easier to get a note, the receptionist quite bluntly said, it wouldn't make any difference if I came in at 8am as there would be a queue and I would still be told the same thing. That was frustrating. I am not sure how many appointments are seen throughout the day but clearly it is not enough. If you do finally get through you are then told all the appointments for today have gone and to call back again tomorrow. It promptly shows that this service is getting worse, the receptionists are not empathetic to the patients needs and are clearly overwhelmed as it is noted in their tone and manner.

Review titled Cut off after waiting for 1 hour
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 May 2023
I was cut off again two days in a row after waiting for 1 hour. This is ridiculous. I have waited for the prescription line twice for 20 minutes and no one is answering the phone. What kind of practice is this?

Review titled Incompetent and long waiting times
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 May 2023
This is the worst surgery I have ever dealt with. I requested by social care for my elderly mother to have her prescription all synchronised i to one and today she has run out of medication despite requesting this to be actioned several times. That’s even if you can get through to them. I was once number 32 and waited 2and a quarter hours. I asked for a call back and never got one. Absolutely appalling service for vulnerable elderly people in pain and discomfort as rely on their medication to be given in a timely fashion. Today I called the prescription line and waited for 15 minutes with no answer and then was number 24 on the line and gave up. Ridiculous!

Visit Enki medical center of an ECG and bloodpressure monitoring. The appointment was prompt and on time. The procedure was explained and done quickly. The results were explained and good advice given. Thank you for a prompt and kind service . Mrs Ogrady

Review titled No chance to get the phone picked up
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 April 2023
You might need several hours to have the phone picked up. Even if the phone is picked up, the call operators seem to have an abrupt and unempathetic demeanour. I appreciate that you might be dealing with a large volume of calls but a little empathy goes a long way. Finally even if you get a doctor's appointment, there is a small chance it will be an in-person one. It will be a telephone consultation only at almost every time. Once again I understand the NHS is going through very difficult times but I think there is room for improvement at Enki. I would start with this: Allow the pharmacy next door to deal with prescriptions. This will free your operators' and doctors' time. I see no reason to call every month and stay on hold when the pharmacist is fully capable with dealing with it.
