Review titled Travel form for oxygen user
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by MRS J A R PITT - Posted on 04 June 2024
I took my form in on the 28th May. It consists of one page to be filled in. I am being told I will have it for the 17th June when I should be getting on the plane that day. The travel company want to be able to process the document before I travel. I cannot understand why it takes so long. I was told last week well it was the bank holiday, no bank holiday this week. Can someone please give me a clue to when I will get the form filled in preferable this week.

Dear Mrs Pitt, I am sorry to hear that you have concerns regarding your recent experience at the Practice. I can confirm that the Practice aim to complete all travel company requests within 30 days. These forms must be checked and completed by a GP outside of clinic hours. Therefore, time must be allocated to complete this. Due to the high number of these requests, there is a short wait for these to be completed. I hope that this offers you some reassurance. Kind regards, Amy Patient Experience Officer

Review titled Full at 10 am. and nontherapeutic answers
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 July 2024
i just called after calling 999, with the advice that i need to see my gp in an hour only to hear the automated voice say they no longer cannot accommodate new calls at 10:15 am, they are full. the last conversation i had with the staff also was non therapeutic, as i was begging for possible ways to speed up my referral to a specialist as i was in pain. the answer i got was to pay and go private if i can't wait and had it transcribed in my report that i opted out, meaning i would go private when I never agreed to it. i had to call and change that information again. now i am always hessitant to call them for help .

Review titled Not a good practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Keith - Posted on 18 June 2024
This practice is getting worse just trying to get past the receptionist first then just being told that my doctor has no pre-book able appointments which is ridiculous if this is my doctor then you should be able to get appointments never heard such a thing.

Dear Keith, I am sorry that you are dissatisfied with trying to obtain an appointment at the Practice. To aid with the increased demand coupled with the national GP retention crisis, the Practice employ a range of clinical staff. Some examples of our clinical staff are GPs, Physicians Associates, Advanced Care Practitioners and Urgent Care Practitioners. This means that our clinical team has a varied skill set therefore our care navigation team are required to ask for an overview of symptoms to ensure that you are booked with an appropriate clinician. I can confirm that the Practice do offer pre-bookable appointments with the clinical staff. However, due to the unprecedented demand on General Practice currently, these appointments do get booked quickly. If there are no pre-bookable appointments available at the time of your call, then the care navigation team will encourage you to contact the Practice on another occasion. I appreciate that this may be frustrating for our patients however this is not our intention. Please be assured that our staff are working to their capacity daily and improving the services continually under increasing pressure. Kind regards Amy Patient Experience Team

Review titled Makes your health worse
by Wayne - Posted on 09 July 2024
So I am currently waiting for my calm to go through I have to ring them because they have decided to my my medication under review, they didn't tell me that it was or inform me in any way Now I'm having to battle there phone lines like I'm fighting the baddies from tron! Why did I feel everytime I have to contact you, I feel like I have to jump through brass hoops and gold rings just to be seen or heard?!?!? You put me under review 3 days before my prescription was ready! Knowing my luck it'll take me 4 days to get this sorted So thatnkyou "Modality" Thankyou for making my health worse, both mentally and physically! And Don't go saying where understaffed and overworked, you've been pulling that same excuse since you took over my doctors!

Dear Peter, I am sorry that you have had difficulty contacting the Practice. We are currently experiencing increased demand on our telephone lines and our care navigation team has been working very hard to answer calls under the additional pressure. The increased demand has resulted in some significant wait times, and we continue to recruit additional staff to handle these calls. I recognise that difficulties in accessing the Practice can be extremely frustrating for our patients and I apologise unreservedly for any upset or inconvenience. General Practice is facing an increased demand from patients nationally and we are currently working at levels significantly above our maximum capacity. We know that means some patients are struggling to access our services in the way that we would like, and we are working hard to find ways to improve this. As restrictions have lifted, we are now allowing patients to attend the surgery to speak to a member of the reception team to deal with appointment bookings and queries. When telephoning the Practice, along with waiting on hold we also have the option to use the queue buster. To do this you select the appointment option and listen to the instructions regarding a call back. Once you have opted for a call back you can hang up the phone. Your place in the queue will be automatically retained and you will be called back when you have reached number 1 in the queue. This was implemented to avoid callers remaining on hold for long periods of time whilst the care navigation team deal with the demand and queries of other callers in the queue. Our current telephony provider only allows one hundred callers to queue in the system at one time. After this capacity has been reached it will no longer allow any more callers to queue meaning that some patients are cut off. I am very sorry for this inconvenience and understand how frustrating this must be. Please be assured that our clinicians are working to their full capacity and the Practice sees as many patients as it’s safe to do so. Again, I am very sorry that you have been struggling to access our services. Kind regards, Amy Patient Experience Officer

Review titled Telephone problems are 'not' exceptional
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Brian Millsom - Posted on 13 July 2023
Have been trying to talk to a doctor for three weeks about X-ray results. Call backs happen to be when I am not available Arrange and keep to a time please. I have read and agree with all the reviews including the very rare good one - miracles do happen. The call answering system is, and for along time been under resourced lacking staff or equipment. It annoying to be given the excuse "exceptional circumstances" when it is the common occurrence.

Review titled Exemplary
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Pat Wilson - Posted on 21 July 2023
So, I start with a telephone call for appointment. (This takes a fair time, so I put my phone on speaker and get on with other stuff - keeps the blood pressure down!!) Got an appointment as willing and currently able to go to all surgeries. Lovely waiting area. Clean. I see a doctor less than 2 hours after I got through. Doctor competent, clearly caring, gave me time, explanation, 2 way conversation. Couldn't ask for more! To be honest, only problem with this practice was a fellow patient in waiting area - to whom I had to point out that she had set off my asthma by spraying her perfume copiously around less than a metre from me. Ah well.

Review titled New Hall Surgery Very Disappointed
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Paul - Posted on 27 June 2023
I graised my leg at work 2 days and it became badly infected and looked like mosquitoes had then bitten me. Rang Surgery Friday 23rd June after a call back I sent pics of the state of my leg..was told will get a doctor to ring you. No one rang me. Unable to go to work has the infection had now got alot worse n was inflamed and swollen I went to the surgery at 8am large queue because the checking in machine wasn't working, one lady on reception by herself I was told this is because of a shortage of staff ..when I got to the front at 9am explained myself and the receptionist told me I should be at a walk in centre because doctors do not deal with bites....excuse me this is my doctors surgery am I missing something here doctors don't deal with bites...this is my doctors n If I attend with bites or not if I don't know what they are I expect to wait my turn n to be seen by one. The receptionist was very unhelpful she eventually asked my name address etc and then told me a doctor had sent a prescription to my local chemist on Friday. Very Incompetent and Bad Practice.

Review titled Unanswered phones
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 May 2023
I was in the queue of 15+ people in front of me. After 30 mins I was in a queue of 30+ people in front of me. Your meant to move up the queue, not backwards. After 1 hour and 45 mins I hadn't moved and hung up. I rung 111 instead. They never answer the phones. The worst GP practises group going. The fact they ignore all calls is disgusting. Then they try to say your call is important to them. Total waste of time trying to get hold of the doctors. Just ring 111, don't mess about.
