Review titled Practice Nurse
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Shiela Pantrini - Posted on 20 June 2023
The PN I met today had such a lovely manner and made me very at ease. My appointment was managed competently and efficiently with good explanations. You might say that this is to be expected but working anywhere in the nhs is not easy at the moment so having the energy to do a good job greatly should be noted. Thank you.

Having had a recent cancer diagnosis I found the team at Alvechurch absolutely amazing. To a person, they were professional, caring and empathetic. Brilliant - and that really helps at such a difficult time. Thank you.

Review titled Very poor service
Rated 1 star out of 5

The appointment system is a shambles despite getting the texts saying appointments available from 8am - 8 pm. This isn't the reality at all - phone at 8 am wait on the line until 8.40 to be told no appointments and nothing bookable in advance. Even if it's something that one of their staff has screwed up, they make no effort to rectify or give any priority. The doctors are great when you get to see them but the practice administration has really deteriorated and a complete lack of accountability. Unless you're prepared to stand your ground every time in terms of access to services, save yourself the stress and hassle and go elsewhere.

Dear Patient I am sorry to hear you are not happy with the service we provide. I can assure you everyone within the practice is accountable for their actions. We review the appointment system regularly to see how we can adapt it. We want to make it a better experience for our patients. We have introduced more pre-bookable appointments up-to 2 months in advance. Booking in advance as become really popular as not everyone wants a same day appointment. In one week more than 42 patients pre-booked appointments. We have an open door policy whereby patients can phone and speak to a senior member of the admin team if they wish to raise concerns about the service they have received. Regards Practice Manager
