Review titled Excellent service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs Janet Calder - Posted on 26 March 2025
Had no problem using the app for my appointment. Was left a message by nurse to say that someone would contact me which they did. Doctor arranged 2 appointments for me for the following 2 days. Had blood tests And saw GP the following day. GP was excellent, very thorough. Both nurses I saw for blood tests yesterday and today were very good and pleasant.

Review titled Excellent service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Marlene crew - Posted on 05 April 2025
I saw a GP who I needed to look at and question about the spot on my chest. I had received a letter from Southmead dermatology department with regards to this. The Dr prescribed medication which I had to use for 3 weeks. After the 3 weeks were up it still had not gone so I phoned the surgery and told them so.I received a message on my phone telling me to use the medication for another week and if it hasn't cleared up then to make an appointment to see the doctor again.

Review titled The Old School Surgery Staff are Amazing!!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ken May - Posted on 18 March 2025
I visited my surgery this week, I had a blood test. I am petrified of needles!! I was fortunate to meet a nurse who took my blood, she was unbelievable! I didn't even know she took my blood, it was absolutely painless. She kept me chatting during the procedure. I also met the receptionist (I'm afraid I didn't catch her name) she was talking to an elderly Gentleman. Her tone and conversation was so refreshing to listen to. I felt compelled to tell her my observation. This lady is also an amazing member of staff who is a credit to this surgery. Treat them well, they work very hard!!

Review titled Telephone Appointments non-existent
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 March 2025
My son submitted an online request on Monday to be told he needed a telephone appointment. He has tried every day this week to be told there are no telephone appointments or no appointments available. I dread to think how it would be had he needed more urgent treatment. A week later and he has still not been able to get an appointment. Very disappointing.

Dear patient Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. This is most unusual and I would like to apologise for his experience. We have both urgent and routine telephone appointments across the range of clinicians available every day, depending on the need. If your son is still requiring help, please email me at general.oldschool@nhs.net and I will happily arrange it for him. Best wishes Tim Practice Experience Manager

Review titled Wonderful staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I have just been in for a routine check up with a practice nurse. She made me so comfortable and made sure I was well informed about what was happening. She also offered so great advice on another concern I had. What a fantastic member of the surgery's team.

Review titled Efficient COVID injection
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jan Wise - Posted on 05 April 2025
The system at the surgery was well organised and efficient. I was directed towards the volunteers giving out sticky labels with my name printed on it. I was then immediately directed into a Drs room. My name, DOB and address were checked and then the medical person gave me my injection and I left.

A GP did not follow hygiene procedure and put unwashed finger into baby's mouth without permission and second GP was unhelpful and abrupt.

Dr was very thorough in her examination & didn't rush me. I felt calm and listened to and well informed as she has referred me for further procedures.
