Review titled Well organised & efficient
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kath Akoslovski - Posted on 03 November 2024
I attended Orchard Medical Practise at Broughton Astley for my Covid & Flu vaccinations on Sat 19 Oct a.m. I was very impressed how well it was organised, from the man greeting everyone outside, the women checking everyone in & of course the 4 doctors/nurses doing the vaccinations. To do 600 vaccinations in 3 hours is very impressive. Good teamwork, well done everyone.

Review titled Fab Phlebotomist & Practice Nurse
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 March 2024
Thank you to both the Phlebotomist & Practice Nurse for the consultations I have received recently. The blood test appointment went without any issue and the Phlebotomist was very efficient. Once my results arrived back, the Practice Nurse rang me to discuss my diagnosis. She was kind, caring & extremely professional whilst adding a little light relief to the call. I liked to take this opportunity to thank both members of Staff for providing a great service

Rated 5 stars out of 5

Fab organisation of the flu & Covid clinics! The appointments were easy to arrange via the link provided in the text messages. Hardly any waiting and vaccinated on both occasions by professional & cheerful Staff. Thank you for all your hard work

Dear Patient Thank you for your feed back re the flu & covid clinics and this will be passed onto the Staff involved. The clinics require much organisation, coordinating various members of the Practice & this sometimes, requires Staff to provide clinics outside of their normal contracted hours.

Review titled Can't even get an appointment !
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 October 2023
Needed to see a doctor urgently, well to me it's urgent. All you ever get told is call back in the morning. If you go to the hospital get told it's something your doctor needs to look at! I'm not a person who often goes to the doctors, but today I really need to see a doctor or nurse!! What do we pay National Insurance for ?? The receptionists are very rude and patronizing!!

Dear Patient, Thank you for your feedback. I am Kaye Heath, Administration Manager and I apologise on behalf of the Practice for your experience in trying to arrange an appointment. From your review I understand that you require an appointment to discuss a letter following contact from the hospital. During and following the Covid Pandemic, our appointment system has changed on several occasions to reflect the changes outside of General Practice. Routine appointments, both face to face & telephone consultations are available to pre- book either via Reception or via the NHS app. We still continue to provide emergency 'on the day' appointments to our Patients. We are also able to offer appointments via the Extended Hours Service - evening & weekend appointments. Should you wish to be seen sooner than a pre-bookable appointment or telephone consultation is available, please contact the Reception Manager on 01455 282599, to discuss the issue further. Your feedback will be circulated to Staff at the Practice and made available for discussion at our regular Practice meetings. Kind regards, Kaye Heath Administration Manager

Review titled Unreachable
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mike - Posted on 14 June 2023
I've been unable to get an appointment for my wife who needs looking at urgently. Eventually I went into reception to book an appointment to be told to phone at 8.15. I explained the problem an the receptionist said "make sure you get your wife in", the waiting room was empty at the time. So you phone at 8.14, surgery closed,8.15 and your unable to get through. On top of that, the website says they're accepting new patients, great. I don't suppose I'll get a reply to this as it seems the surgery only replies to good feedback. Many thanks and best of luck if your I'll. Mike

Dear Mike, Thank you for your feedback My name is Kaye Heath, Administration Manager. I would like to apologise on behalf of the Practice for the poor experience you have received when trying to arrange an appointment for your wife. I understand your frustration at not being able to arrange an appointment either via Reception or by telephone and apologise for this. I will forward your feedback to both the Practice Manager & Reception Manager. The appointment system has changed several times before, during and after the Covid Pandemic. Appointments are available to book online via the NHS App but understand that some illness' require more urgent care. Should your wife still require an appointment, please contact Lucy Neal, Reception Manager to discuss the issue further. Kind regards, Kaye Heath Administration Manager The Orchard Medical Practice

Review titled Disappointed with the service
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Kim - Posted on 06 March 2023
I phoned in the morning to make an appointment in Feb, took me 45 minutes to get through, when I got through I was told to phone at 8:15am the next morning. I was then given a phone call appointment. When on the phone the doctor couldn't understand why I had been given a phone call appointment and not to be seen. She gave me an Appointment with another doctor for the afternoon. Reception then phoned me to change the time of my appointment. When I went, I didn't see the person I was originally told that I was seeing. They told me to go back in two weeks if symptoms are still showing. I phoned this morning at 8:15, to be told that I can't pre book an appointment for a few weeks time and it wasn't an emergency to book for today. They didn't ask anything about what was wrong and they also didn't seem interested when I told them that the symptoms have now been 8 weeks. Very disappointed in the service!
