Dr Mr Betteridge I apologise that we have not come back to you in this instance. We have a pooled list which means you are registered with the Practice and not with a particular GP. I will ask my Care Navigation Manager to contact you. Kind regards. Julie, Business Manager.

Review titled Brilliant doctors
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 January 2025
Shame the reception staff don't listen to you. When your on the phone to them a little bit more compassion, understanding and listening would help instead of I have put it through for you making me out to be thick when I asked for a telephone call with a doctor. Glad you can book online. Don't like the fact you have to tell the receptionist what's wrong with you when they are not a doctor.

Thank you for your feedback. Our staff do their utmost to be understanding and empathetic in every situation and I apologise if we have fallen short in this instance. I will pass your feedback to our Care Navigation Manager. Our staff are required to ask specific questions when booking an appointment to ensure that you are signposted to the correct clinician otherwise this could potentially be an unnecessary appointment for you. We have Advanced Clinical Practitioners, Pharmacists, Nurses and Wellbeing staff with specialist skills within the Practice therefore it may be more beneficial for you to have a consultation with one of these clinicians rather than with a GP. Many thanks. Julie, Business Manager.

Review titled Great Doctor
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 January 2025
I recently had an appointment with a new Doctor. Her care was exemplary, she took time to explain various things to me and I was reassured by the consultation. She sorted out several follow on things and further appointments were sent to me. I hope very much that she stays with the surgery as she is an absolute asset to it.

Review titled Reassuring
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Karen Barkby - Posted on 17 February 2025
After various appointments with several doctors, via 3 different surgeries, I eventually met the senior nurse at Newhall, who had so much time for me and got to the bottom of my ongoing medical issues after months of toing and frowing. Her concern was welcomed and her diagnosis was spot on, and then and only then my health started to improve. I cannot thank her enough for her time and understanding.

Review titled NHS at it's finest
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Ashleigh - Posted on 03 October 2024
I have been with this surgery for 3 years and it's nothing but a struggle to be heard or get past the argumentative receptionist. Today I rang for a urine test for suspected uti.. I used self catheterization and therefore samples should be provided asap to ensure sepsis doesn't occur. The receptionist told me no appointments, so I kindly asked what to do, explained the hospital have told me this is the procedure and she only wanted to argue that she hadn't said she can't help, but that I need to ring her 111 or the hospital as she had no appointments but this didn't mean she couldn't help. I'm uncomfortable and confused but didn't need an argumentative receptionist to make matters worse.

Review titled Significantly understaffed
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 October 2024
Whilst staff are pleasant and wherever possible, accomodating, the access to medical support is atrocious. No continuity of care with on call drs not accessing medical notes before changing care pathways. On call staff did not listen to my concerns and forged ahead with an alternative care pathway without my agreement. Prescriptions take ages to be written and sent to chemist resulting in a delay in treatment. Totally unsatisfactory experience with the surgery being hugely oversubscribed. Over 6 weeks to wait for a drs appointment and no ability to book even a telephone consultation online never mind a face to face appointment. Staff very caring, but surgery totally overwhelmed.

Thank you for your comments. I am pleased that you feel our staff are pleasant and accommodating. If you would care to call the surgery to speak with me or send me a letter/e-mail with your concerns I would be happy to investigate and respond fully. Prescriptions are normally produced within our 48 working hour turnaround time, but a shortage in medications at the chemist sometimes means that this process takes longer to complete. Appointments are available on line and on the telephone up to 3 months in advance and 'on the day' are available according to clinical need and availability. We also offer an extended hours services and a weekend service to our patients at an alternative venue should this be necessary. 111 also offers an alternative service should we be unable to accommodate at the point of contact. We have good staffing levels and also aim to accommodate the needs of our patients. I look forward to hearing from you in due course should you require me to investigate your concerns further. Many thanks. Julie, Business Manager.

Review titled Poor service
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 October 2024
After having the coil replaced the last 5 / 10 years it was time again to get booked in. I called beginning of October giving myself two weeks to get an appointment to be told my an unhelpful/argumentative receptionist that I'll be put on the waiting list. Two weeks later no update so called again to be told again I'll be put on the waiting list. I am now coming up to two weeks past when the coil ran out and still no update. Poor communication and still no better off knowing whats happening.

I saw a senior nurse practitioner today and as well as offering advice on my medical complaint, they showed great support and interest on my bettering of mental health. Friendly and enthusiastic care made me feel very comfortable and welcome in the appointment. Thank you for your kind words and help!
