Review titled Easy and quick
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Shaz - Posted on 11 October 2022
Rang up for an appointment. The line was busy so I pressed "1" for a call back. Was called back in 30 minutes. Spoke to a lovely, polite receptionist. Was given an appointment for 4 days time. Wasn't urgent so I was happy with that. When I went into the surgery for my appointment, I only waited 2 minutes after my time to be seen. Overall, everyone was very polite and helpful. Everything was explained to me. Was even offered a chaperone.

Review titled Never any appointments and poor service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by N Hall - Posted on 28 October 2022
This surgery is no longer fit for purpose and we need someone to step in and support their patients. I have been trying for weeks to get an appointment for my daughter who simply needs to be referred back to the hospital. If you call at 8am, as they insist you do, you can be kept on hold for up to 50 mins. This is such a nightmare when you start work at 8am. They say to try certain dates to get prebookable appointments but when you call or pop in that day they never have any. I also use the NHS app but never any appointments. They even have a call back service now but when they call back they just tell you all the appointments have gone for the day. Today I was told over 150 calls had been made to the surgery before 9am. When I suggested they needed more GP’s the receptionist agreed. I don’t even know who works there anymore. I could not tell you who my actual GP is.

I have read the reviews on here and I personally have had a very good experience today. I spoke to a nurse practitioner and she was absolutely brilliant! She gave me some great advice, some names of counselling on how to help with my mental health. She really listened and spoke to me for a while, she let me say everything I needed to say without interruption she spoke to me like she actually knew me and actually cared. I thanked her several times as I had been heard and she went above and beyond to try and help me. Not only listening and giving me advice, people to talk to, apps, counselling, she really was so nice I came off the the phone feeling better as someone listened to me and treated me like a person and like she cared. Best person I have spoken to. Very caring and kind! Didn’t rush me at all let me speak in my own time when I was ready. Also the receptionist I spoke to was very kind i struggle to talk on the phone about my mental health and she was so good she let me take some time and I started telling her why I was calling, she seemed very kind down the phone. Didn’t rush me and told me it was ok take your time. Generally had a good experience, was happy with who I spoke to couldn’t fault them. Thank you for listening, really helped me.

We appreciate the feedback we receive and I would like to assure you that your positive comments will be relayed to the whole team. Kind regards - Jo Clarke, Patient Relations Manager
