Hi Jade Thank you so much for the positive review. Whilst the phones and reception are constantly busy, I know our staff will often keep notes of patients they have had calls from and call them back when suitable appointments or options become available. I am pleased that our staff have been able to help you on this occasion. I have passed on your feedback to our reception team. We acknowledge that we have ongoing problems with our phones. Thankfully we are due to switch to a new system in the next month (go live is middle of January). We hope this switch will improve the experience for patients contacting us. In the interim if you are struggling to get through via phone there is also a system called PATCHS (info can be found on the appointments page of our website), or various forms are available on our website. If there is ever anything we can do to help, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Thank you again for the positive review. James Hardwick, Practice Manager

Review titled Terrible
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Sandra - Posted on 22 March 2023
Almost impossible to get through the phone line to make same day/prebook appointments. Lines are open at 8am and after waiting around 60 mins (if you are not cut off by then), there are always no appointments left. Receptionists are rude and not helpful to offer alternative options to patients. Experience with doctor’s and nurses are good, however the experience of the front line staff and the repeated poor experienced of securing an appointment is truly terrible. The surgery does not make it easy for patients to make appointments to be seen to. The surgery needs to review their processes and improve the way they run the surgery. Other surgeries are almost operating back to pre-covid levels. Management needs to set up mystery shopper to really see how poor the practice is.

Review titled Not pleasant
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 January 2023
It’s not only a tiresome depressing challenge to get through to someone whilst also battling the telephone fault system which seems to be ongoing and can cut you off at anytime, you then are required to explain your symptoms ( nothing wrong with that) but I felt like the conversation was all about putting me off .This person seems to have the right to decide whether you get past them or not . It’s awful and so depressing when you also are feeling ill. What on earth has happened to the once empathetic friendly staff .
