  1. Review titled Treat like an inconvenience

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 06 February 2023

    Handed a medical questionnaire in 6 weeks ago (told I would get a phonecall when ready to pick up and that it would take approx 30 days). I have a new job lined up but can't start until they have received this form. No phonecall received and despite numerous visits and phonecalls to the surgery I still don't have the form (and so can't start my new job) 6 weeks later. Receptionists don't seem bothered and repeat "we'll chase it up" (they don't). They blame the alliance who runs the surgery but take no responsibility themselves and do absolutely nothing to help resolve any issues. No apologies offered, they seem annoyed that I dare to keep asking where the form is. Need customer service training the lot of them

    Dear Patient, Thank you for your feedback, I apologise for your experience and I am sorry you feel that you have not received the best service from the practice. It is extremely difficult to respond to you directly as this has been posted as anonymous. Please feel free to contact myself judith.taylor9@nhs.net and I will be happy to investigate your concerns.

  2. Review titled Really though…

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Kaye crawshaw - Posted on 20 February 2023

    I’ve had type 1 diabetes for 38 years. I use an insulin pump. I require to have have back up insulin pens available at all times on my repeat prescription, Incase my pump fails.however I don’t need these on a regular basis, unlike the insulin vial, which I do need to order. I’ve explained this on numerous occasions so you will you as a practice stop removing one or both insulin pens from my prescription. Also still waiting for my prescription to be updated from latest hospital appointment. Can’t get through on telephone. Ever. I’m seriously ill and I can’t be bothered to chase things up what should have never been removed. It’s fine as informing my specialist nurse at next appointment maybe you will take notice if them.
