Review titled Appointment Booking System
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 August 2024
The Patches system which requires you to call or logon at 8am in an attempt to request a GP appointment has caused extreme anxiety for my elderly, widowed mother who wants to see a doctor and is happy to wait a week or 2 if thats what is available . However instead of bookimg online a week or 2 ahead when a slot is available like most other reservation sytems e.g. a table at a restaurant, she has to call at 8am and taker her chances in the queue and might be told all the slots are taken for that day just a few minutes later and to try agaim the following day. This system is stressful for her and fuelled her anxiety levels such that shes often given up trying. This makes me wonder if its designed to minimise people trying but its certainly and extremely non patient friendly sytem. Thankfully I moved from Pinner a few years ago and live in an area where our GP operates a far more practical and normal appointment sytem where you either look online for the next available appointmebt date and time and click on it and secure it ( which can be done anytime of day online ) or you phone the surgery and they tell you whats available. The Pinn patches sytem is so difficult and stressful for the patient in comparison.. My mother is considering paying for a private GP appointment instead or moving GP or worse leaving her medical concern un- investigated. The Pinn may well see many patient as per the response to a similar online complaint I read about patches, thats great but please be clear thats not the issue here, the issue is the booking system has been designed for the service provider, the Pinn's administrative convenience and sadly not the patient trying to access the service. Shame on whoever came up with this system.

Review titled patchs review
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 July 2024
Had mole on back which had grown and was itchy - tried Thursday and Friday via Patchs at 8.00 am prompt and was told it was closed until 10.00 am. Tried at 10.00 am and was told to try next day at 8.00 am. Same thing happened on Friday, so phoned the surgery who said we would have to try patchs again on Monday. Same thing happened Monday and Tuesday. Both my wife and I tried on different tablets - but told patchs was closed. Finally called the surgery Tuesday after Patchs was closed at 8.01 am! I was 17th in the queue. Hung on for 65 minutes! When I got through I was given an appointment on the same day. Why didn t that happen the first time I called the surgery last Friday. A growing itchy mole could be serious - This really was not at all acceptable. Someone should be checking Patchs is actually functioning.

Review titled Caring, effective and efficient
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kevin - Posted on 25 July 2024
Contacted my surgery through the Patchs platform and within the hour received back a text giving me details of an appointment that day. The doctor was unknown to me but her care and attention to my condition and the advice she gave was first rate. My answers from the software platform were on the screen in front of her and so there was no need to repeat any information apart from her confirming her diagnosis. In character with the rest of the staff at my surgery, both professional and administrative, she provided a high quality of care.

Review titled Good practice
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Shaheeda Ladha - Posted on 26 July 2024
The doctor was very thorough with his examination today. I was amazed to hear that he would call me back in five days to see if the medication has worked or not. I was also amazed to get an appointment straight away on the same day.

Review titled Great practitioners - lousy admin
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Cassandra - Posted on 08 June 2024
It's like any other NHS establishment. The doctors, nurses and other practitioners are outstanding. The management is a disaster. I had exactly the same experience as reported by another poster on this site has just described; they often fail to expedite repeat prescriptions with the stated 3 day time frame that they specify, meaning that essential medication runs out and you have to make a personal visit; if you are unfortunate enough to turn up on a Friday morning, there are no staff members available because they all have a weekly meeting at that time that takes over two hours!!

Review titled Worst Practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 June 2024
I am sick and tired of Pinn medical centre, repeated medication policy is three days, most time it takes 7 to 8 days for no reason at all. The medication is not prescribed by any so called doctors in Pinn medical centre. They were prescribed by my consultants. Why it takes longer that 3 working days to be signed by a Dr i don't know. Every time I raised this subject with them I hear " Sorry it should not happened" it still hapening.
