Review titled Today - the service was poor
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Adam Black - Posted on 16 August 2024
Advised by doctor to perhaps change my prescription. Called to make an appointment with doctor to do just that - but directed by reception to appointment with prescription specialist. I told her my symptoms and the doctors suggestion. She disagreed with the doctor - and directed me to back to making a further GP appointment, which was where I started. Frustrated at the 'circular reference' I was now in, I asked how she viewed the course of events. Her answer ' am fed up of people complaining to me'!!. So - am now trying to get an appointment with the doctor who made the original suggestion. Not gt from Selsey Medical Practice today, and to be fair, not the usual level of service or response.

Dear Mr Black Thank you for your feedback, I am really sorry to hear that you have been frustrated by the service we have provided for you. I do understand that being redirected to different clinicians without an outcome for your is far less than satisfactory. I will be looking into your case with a view to seeing whether we can make improvements in this particular area. I hope that you have made contact with us to arrange an appointment with a GP to discuss your prescription and that they are able to help you. If you would like to contact me directly regarding your feedback, please email me on sxicb-wsx.selsey-selsey@nhs.net and mark it for my attention. Regards Nicola Collins Managing Partner

Review titled Excellent couldn’t do more
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Clive Hudson - Posted on 16 April 2024
I’ve lived in selsey for 7 years now and every time myself or my partner have needed and appointment or treatment the service and treatment has been first rate always able to get and appointment. The staff are friendly and efficient and we are so lucky to have this practice in selsey. The people who say staff are rude need to look at themselves first and maybe they are the problem. Reality couldn’t be further from the truth. They need to process a lot of People they are not her to be your councillor. My most visit I rang up at 8 was in by 10:15. Saw a lovely dotor and had blood tests the following day that were back two days later. Keep up the good work

Review titled Rude receptionist
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 March 2024
Disappointing experience at Selsey Medical Practice. The receptionist was extremely rude and disrespectful, and the staff exhibited unprofessional behaviour. Patient care should begin with a welcoming atmosphere, which was clearly lacking here.

Review titled Reassuring and Efficient
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I received some test results back today. The receptionist was very kind and reassuring. I then sent an email conveying more worries and this was dealt with in a very quick and reassuring manner. Exceptional customer service!

Review titled Reception staff doing their best
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 July 2023
The reception staff here are doing their utmost best to help patients, under really challenging circumstances, and I admire the way they keep their cool, so well done Some of the GPs, though, and not all, need a lesson in why they came into the profession. Total lack of empathy, couldn’t care less attitude, anything to get you out of the door without spending their budget, the list is endless. Basically, don’t give a toss, and I can’t name the good ones. I’m appalled at the attitude yet can’t go elsewhere, so am a captive audience. It’s no fault of the patient that they’re in a stressful job, and treating some as if they don’t matter is not ethical. Most are part time, so the service is under staffed, but that’s no fault of the patient. It’s apparent that it’s now all about tick boxes, irrespective of quality of life. And if you don’t fit in the box, it’s tough. Patients are now suffering long term conditions with little support and encouragement and it seems to be a real effort to get them to do anything that involves referring. Surely you treat the source of the problem, not the symptoms.. Reading the notes before a patient is seen might help, and if you over run, so what. So well done to the reception staff, and to certain GPs, it’s about time your patients got a smile, if nothing else.

Review titled Poor customer service, overstretched practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 April 2023
I have been with this surgery for a number of years and have found the phone manner of many of the reception staff to be passive aggressive or sometimes just rude. I imagine it is because they do often deal with rude patients but this is not an excuse to behave in the same way. I have seen some GPs who seem very kind and understanding but have also seen others who are less so. I believe they are overstretched being the only GP within Selsey and this makes getting an appointment difficult, especially if you are not able to be flexible due to work/life commitments. The most useful part of the service offering are the e-consults. It is much more likely you will get an appointment this way and will also not need to deal directly with any reception staff so a great option in my opinion. I have been to far better practices and far worse practices than this one.

I am disappointed to hear that you have found some of our team to be passive aggressive or rude. I appreciate that you recognise general practice is overstretched, however as you rightly say, this is not an excuse not to treat our patients kindly and with respect. I am pleased to hear that you are using our online consultation service as this should provide patients with an alternative way to access the practice, but I would not like to think that our patients use this service so that they do not have to speak to a receptionist. Feedback is necessary to help us to improve and it would be helpful if you could contact us directly with more details of your interactions with our team so that we can investigate them and address any areas where we need to improve. Contact details can be found on our website.

Review titled Superb Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Teresa Kelly - Posted on 04 May 2023
I only recently moved to Selsey in January 2023 and registered with the practice.Following a short holiday I came back with a painful infection.I called the surgery at 3pm and a very helpful receptionist said she would get a Gp to call me back.This duly took place an hour later and following a discussion antibiotics were prescribed and a prescription was sent over to the chemist which I was able to collect at 5pm.However some further samples were required which I left the next day in the surgery,I was then telephoned by the Gp who said I needed to be referred urgently to St Richards Hospital for further tests.I received a call the next day and an appointment was made for 5 days later,Fortunately nothing untoward was found and no further treatment is necessary,I was so impressed with the speed and efficiency of the Gp and staff at the practice in dealing with my concerns.Each member of staff with whom I spoke was kind and helpful.Full marks to Selsey Practice for a first class service.

Dear Teresa Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback regarding your recent experience. I have forwarded your positive comments on to the teams at the practice. With around 15,000 interactions (phone calls, emails, appointments etc) every single month it can be difficult to get it right every single time so I it's great to hear that you have received a good service from us. We do aspire to provide what our patients need in a timely manner, so it's really good to hear that this happened for you. Nicola Collins Practice Manager

Review titled So unhelpful
Rated 5 stars out of 5

Needed an appointment while staying in Selsey . The staff were very rude and helpful. I couldn’t get an appointment or see anyone. So bad for a town with so many holiday makers

I am sorry if you found our staff rude and unhelpful. We try to signpost patients to the most appropriate service for their condition, this may include advising patients to attend local urgent treatment centres or a pharmacy. Many GP practices are now able to help patients remotely and depending on the issue, sometimes we do signpost patients who are on holiday back to their own GP as they have access to their full medical history and in most cases can provide a remote consultation. Prescriptions in England can be sent electronically to any pharmacy in the country and therefore any medication needed can be sent by a patient’s own GP to a local pharmacy.
