Review titled Waste of gp time
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 October 2024
All I needed was a referral for repeat bone scan. Both the doctor and myself felt that waiting 8 days for a telephone conversation was unnecessary as this was purely an administrative task, so wasting the doctor’s precious time and delaying referral by the week.

Review titled Poor information
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Steven Ede - Posted on 08 October 2024
Thought I had appointment as that's what it seemed when I booked for my flu vaccine. On the day had trouble finding some where to park as all car parks were full so had to park further away,rushed to surgery so as not to be late for my appointment only to find it was a mass vaccination program and queue was out the door. So I did not really have a proper appointment as your messages suggested at 10:12 am I was just one of many which should have been made clear when I booked appointment.

Thank you for your feedback, and we are sorry for the confusion and inconvenience you experienced during the weekend flu clinic. The clinic was designed to flow quickly for patients, but we understand how frustrating it must have been to have been given a specific appointment time, only to find there was a queue. We could have communicated this more clearly, and apologise for the added stress of parking difficulties and rushing to arrive on time. Your feedback will help us improve communication for future clinics. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Kind regards, Reach Healthcare Management Team

Review titled Well organised
Rated 4 stars out of 5

Went to have my flu jab along with many other people, but the queue was well organised and only in the queue for a couple of minutes. Male nurse asked questions which were easily answered, jab given, job done.

I rang up first as a could not read messages on NHS app . Appointments where sorted messages to confirm when I went for the appointment booked in the staff put you at your ease and was affective in their care and practice . They made the experience pleasant with a task I do not like doing.
