I had a recall for cervical screening. The nurse was very kind and caring, which made a very big difference. I am less afraid to come back in 3 years. Thank you.

Review titled Dissapointed
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Erin Morris - Posted on 01 June 2024
Normally, this surgery is brilliant. Not this time. I have been fighting off a raging chest infection. I rung up the surgery and booked a phone appointment with a GP. After speaking to the GP, they determined that I would need some antibiotics and a brown inhaler for my asthma, as, it was being exacerbated by my chest infection. I was told the medication would be there that day after lunch. I was sent a text from the GP to confirm that my medication has been sent to my nominated chemist. My husband went to the chemist after work, and, the chemist said nothing has been sent through. I rung the surgery, and, they said that my antibiotics were pushed forward to a later date. And no one thought to inform me of this? Not to mention, the brown inhaler wasn’t even requested. I rung again and said that my symptoms are getting worse. The lovely receptionist marked it as urgent. Still nothing. It’s now past the date that they delayed the antibiotics until. I did get a notification that my meds were at the chemist. All I got was a blue inhaler. Nothing else. I’m livid. I’m sat here sick and full of fever and feel like I don’t matter. The staff are all lovely, but, I feel really let down.

Review titled Repeat prescription performance poor
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Raymond Watson - Posted on 27 April 2024
I rely on my repeat prescriptions being available at least on the day they run out but it has now been 2 days since they did for a heart and blood complaint which also affects my breathing. Apparently on investigation the online service reports that they had been 'issued' but after contacting the pharmacy it had not been sent to them. An investigation by the pharmacy which was relayed to me showed that the repeat prescription request had not been signed by a Doctor which brings into question just who is responsible for this issue? It can only be a staff member and not a Doctor! I have written a formal letter of complaint both to the Practice Manager and to the Leicestershire Health Authority because of the unecessary risk to my already poor health.

Recently I have needed to be seen twice as an emergency. I found that from the medical team down to the receptionists they gave nothing but individualized exemplary care. Thank you from a appreciative patient

Review titled Great practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Muriel Johnston - Posted on 06 June 2023
Thursday 11th May 10.00am Doctors appointment. I had what I thought was a sickness bug, but after 5 days I gave in and went to the GP. 11.00am I was sat in Triage at Glenfield. I had a blood test and was admitted to ward 36. At 7.00pm. I was told I was Nil by mouth. Friday am I had a scan and Friday late afternoon I had my gallbladder out. I am still in shock. I hadn’t been in any pain for a few days because I hadn’t eaten, and after the operation I still had relatively no real pain. Saturday morning the surgeon came to say he didn’t believe that I hadn’t realised I was in trouble, as it was bad really bad, but all was ok and I could go home. My new found friends in the ward were amazed how much favour I had received. Big thank you to GP’s at Northfield whose diagnosis was spot on and the speed which followed was down to their expertise and diligence. We feel so blessed to belong to Northfield Medical centre . Thank you

Review titled Genuinely caring practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 September 2022
I took my son to the pharmacy next door to the surgery to ask for some advice on a minor issue. The pharmacist gave me very vague advice which left me worried that there was something more seriously wrong than I first thought. I went straight round to the surgery and spoke to the receptionist there. She was extremely patient and listened as I told her what had happened. Seeing how worried I was she arranged for a doctor to see my son. Whilst I was waiting (we waited less than 5 minutes) the same receptionist came and asked me if I was ok. I cannot thank both the receptionist and the doctor enough - they were both so genuinely kind and calming towards both me and my son. I would like to add that my visit was on a Friday evening at 6pm which was half an hour before they were closing for a bank holiday weekend. I wasn’t made to feel rushed at anytime and feel very grateful to them both for the care they gave.
