Review titled Impossible to navigate the booking system
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 January 2025
Other reviews have already articulated the many issues this practice has with booking appointments. Not only is system entirely robotic so it impossible to speak to anyone at the practice to get an appointment. You also have to navigate the same labyrinthine system to try and sort out repeat prescriptions. When I went to the pharmacy recently to pick up my prescription I was told the GP hadn't approved the renewal and I should speak to them directly. I've called them on four separate occassions, I've emailed, I've tried to acccess the service via the NHS App. Nothing works, there is no option to request a call back. I've now run out of my prescription, and I had to call 111 to get an emergency prescription which won't last that long. Without being able to speak to a GP, or even someone at the GP practice, about this I have no idea how I can sort the issue out properly. Having been a patient at the practice for a number of years, the communication and appointment system has noticeably deteriorated. It seems to be an ongoing issues. It would appear that either the GPs and staff don't have the resources to meet demand. Or they are unaware that their phone/website system has been set up to shut patients out, or they haven't actually taken on board patient feedback about it and the harm it causes.

Review titled Quick and responsive—even during the holidays
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 December 2024
I wrote an online request at 8:30, received a call for an in-person appointment at 9:30 (where I quickly saw the very competent GP.) I was home (with my prescription) by 10:30am. That is what I call good service. And this was all on the day before New Year’s Eve. No GP surgery is perfect but it strikes me that St John’s Way is trying very hard to serve us.

Review titled Unable to request a repeat prescription
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 August 2024
Logged on to surgery website on a Sunday to request a repeat prescription (I know they don't allow this over the phone) - was hoping it would be looked at on Monday so I can collect prescription locally asap. Shocked to see that the website is not able to take these requests. Literally stunned by this - utterly useless. I guess my urgent heart pills that I've just run out of will have to wait. Terrible patient service.

Review titled Good practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I returned from UK abroad with a bad skin infection on my arm. The receptionist on duty took this on board and managed to book me in to see a doctor within a short time. The doctor was excellent and prescribed anti-biotic which I needed straight away at local pharmacy. Very good attention and service.

Review titled Impossible
Rated 1 star out of 5

You cannot make an appointment at this practice anymore. A receptionist just sends you a text link yo their website to write eat is wrong with you. 6 days later no one has called me back. I had a receipt from the site so I know my request went in. I have been with this practice for over 20 years. They also refused in the past to give me any menopausal support at all. Disgusting .lack of care.

Review titled Fantastic Practice over the 30 years I have been a patient
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 February 2024
Until recently I have rarely attended the Practice, but have always found all St Johns way Medical Centre staff helpful for both me and my family. Over the years my contacts with receptionists, nurses and GPs have been excellent. Following a hospital admission in 2024 I have needed to consult the GP frequently. My named GP has been amazing, and as I had been so unwell she even visited me at home. My requests for prescriptions and fit notes have been dealt with in a timely fashion. This is how Primary Care should be, offering continuity and support when one most needs it.

Review titled Appointments?
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 01 September 2023
I had a doctor‘s appointment booked for today for 9:25 am. I got to the surgery for just after 9 am in plenty of time for my appointment. I was not seen until 9:50 am and I had another appointment to go to which I had to cancel because of being kept waiting to see the GP this morning. There was a patient in before me, but was out in plenty of time for me to go earlier to my appointment, even though I would still have not been seen until after my original appointment time. When making or having appointments, they should be kept at that time.

Review titled Great appointment and practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 10 January 2023
I called to get my first smear test and I was given appointment times available less than a week from when I called. They had lots of slots available which was excellent and I booked on in for 6 days later from my first call. I arrived at my appointment early and I was seen 10mins early. I was a bit nervous for my first appointment but the nurse was great and it did not hurt at all. The whole appointment was finished even before my allotted appointment. I had a really good experience and was generally super happy with the service. Thank you!
