Review titled Too much red tape
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Amanda Savage - Posted on 11 July 2024
Asked to book a medication review which in itself was not necessary. Then given a vague appointment ‘Dr will ring you in the afternoon on 1/8/24. No time given but I am expected to make myself available all afternoon. As someone who works this is not possible & may result in a missed appointment wasting everyone’s time!

Review titled Thank you
Rated 4 stars out of 5

I had a health problem the day before I was due to take a long haul flight. I 'phoned the GP practice at Alvechurch for help. The receptionist listened to me and gave me a physio appointment that afternoon. The swift response and advice I received enabled me to travel next day. I was able to attend my nephews wedding and be with my family. Thank you

Review titled Great Teamwork
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 September 2023
I recently visited the surgery for a review of a medical condition. The person doing my review picked up on something I had said and contacted another health professional they suggested a test when the test was completed they spoke to two other health professionals who advised me . My treatment was changed . I am being investigated thoroughly for underlying medical conditions and kept up to date with that is happening. As well as being monitored to ensure my condition is stable. Very thorough I think I spoke with a representative of every profession there expect the midwife. Everyone took time in their very busy day to get me referred and reviewed. 11/ 10 Reception staff also very friendly

Genuine listening and helpful service - every effort made to give you an on-the-day appointment or phone consultation ASAP. Reception staff are discreet and polite. Doctors don’t rush you out.

Review titled Caring and Efficient
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 July 2023
I phoned Alvechurch Medical Centre and spoke to a receptionist. I explained that my child needed a letter from her doctor quite urgently and asked if this was possible. The receptionist was helpful and efficient and assured me that he would contact me once he had messaged the doctor. Within 2 hours I received a text to say that the letter was ready for collection and I then received a follow up call from the receptionist. Thank you to all of the staff (receptionist, doctor and the medical secretary) for this fantastic service. You really went above and beyond and made a stressful time a little easier. We are always too quick to criticise and often to slow to offer our thanks. I hope this goes a little way to redress the balance.

Review titled Good Practice
Rated 4 stars out of 5

Despite no appointments being available when I tried on the Monday from 8am when the lines open. I called again on the Tuesday morning and received a call back from the Dr before midday. Can’t fault the Drs. Just appointment system needs looking at.

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.
