Review titled Shocking service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 February 2025
For the last 4 weeks I’ve been trying to get an appt to suit my working hours without any luck. At one point I was told ‘if your need to see a dr is urgent, then maybe should ask for time off’. This might be acceptable if I was salaried, but as I get paid by the hour, if I don’t work, I don’t get paid. Also was told that if I don’t make an appt for a review of medication they will remove me from their books - fine, but give me an appt that I can actually make then and don’t just send random appointments out. Really disappointing service from an NHS practice

Review titled Very impressed with the students
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Laura Callaghan - Posted on 29 January 2025
I’ve just had an appointment with two students for my little girl, who is one year old. I would just like to say how lovely both students were. They were both very professional, got a good history or my little girl, one student kept her entertained through the whole process letting her play with her badge and the oxygen reader pretending it was a crocodile whist the other one assessed her. They both commented that my little girl is well behaved and loved seeing her. I hope when they qualify they get a job at this surgery as I would love to see either of them again. Can you please ensure this gets back to them.

Review titled no appointments
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Alan Dawes - Posted on 04 September 2024
sent a letter to make appointment asap for my chrinic illness, rang up to make one and was told none for three weeks and to call back then but may not get one then either, the girl didnt seem to care less either way , what was the point of sending me the letter when i cant even get in to see anyone, seems pretty rediculous . obviously too many patients in your surgery

Dear Mr Dawes, We are so sorry you have experienced this service from our Practice we do apologise, We recall our Patients in Birthday Months for Long Term conditions or unless the Clinician has asked to see a Patient sooner, we have encountered some staffing issues over the last few months due to peak holiday periods and sickness, the Management Team have been working looking at capacity and demand and as a result are investing in more Clinical Team members so you should see more availability in appointment offering. Kind regards New Silksworth Medical Practice

Dear Patient, I'm really sorry you have experienced problems when calling the Practice, you do not specify a date or time when you called to enable me to investigate, therefore I will need further information, as there is no details I have no information to contact you, I would be happy if you contacted the Practice on 0191 521 0252 or alternatively emailed Kevin.Doran@nhs.net to enable me to investigate your concerns, I will also report to our Telephone Provider to see if there was any issues across last week, alternatively you can also access our Alliance Care System to make appointments I have included the link if you select New Health Problem if this is a new problem, https://access.klinik.co.uk/contact/alliance-care Kevin Doran Assistant Head of General Practice

Review titled Excellent GP
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 29 June 2023
I have been a patient for many years, and over the years you have had some excellent GP's. I just wanted to let you know that new GP, is worth his weight in gold. Please do whatever it takes to keep him as he is an asset to the surgery and the NHS in general. he is thorough, listens, remembers you when you go for follow up, he did his own bloods on me last time I was there instead of having to faff about making a separate appointment, no GP has ever don that. It's brilliant. The messaging system where he can text a message and it allows me to reply is brilliant to.
