Review titled Negligent
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Jamie Wilson - Posted on 12 September 2024
I have not received any medication for a serious underlying health condition for three months now. My surgery is aware that there this a supply issue which I accept and understand. Unfortunately, I have received no help or any advice from this surgery about alternatives or managing my condition in these circumstances, despite frequent requests. In depseration, I have sought advice from a charity and am taking alternative 'medication' which I am buying from Amazon. I am now experiencing increased pain and discomfort and need to see a clinician. Last night, I was once again advised to go home and advised to use an app to make an appointment this morning. I also have type one diabetes and made a request in May for a replacement blood glucose testing kit because the one I had had just broken. I finally received the replacement in late August, having gone four months without testing my blood sugar. I am awaiting antibiotics which I was told on Monday evening that I needed by some pharamcist they got me to call and, as yet, have received no prescription nor any medication - it is now Thursday morning and nobody seems to know what is going on with that either. Some time ago, I even received a message on the silly Evergreen app that this surgery uses saying that an appointment has been made for me but that they are unable to advise when the appointment would be!

After almost two weeks final had chance to book appointment online, unfortunately in half way to writing my problem somebody kik me off and the system showed offline. Why they play with the patient? How we can report this problem to management when on GP website is not side to do complain.

Review titled Substandard service
Rated 1 star out of 5

I was seen by a nurse at the Sidings today who was absolutely horrible. At the start of the consultation she printed a letter and shoved it under my nose accusing me of missing an appointment with a consultant, which was not true and was evidenced in the second page of the same letter- she did not apologise for this. She was dismissive of my health complaints and told me to be quiet so she could could type... she did not offer any help with my actual problem today and simply decided to write to my consultant- passing the buck! When i enquired if she could at least do some bloods or anything else to help me while i am waiting to see a consultant, which can take months, she walked towards the door and opened it saying she had other people to see and told me to leave while disclosing medical info about me in front of other patients waiting outside the door! I suffer from multiple chronic long-term conditions and am under the care of various consultants. However, when unwell there's no one else i can go to other than my GP surgery but it seems they do not care at all! the management of patients with long term conditions is appalling at the Sidings now.

Review titled Reception team
Rated 2 stars out of 5

problem with registration. the ladies at registration don't answer the phone. The answering machine says to make an appointment online, but they are always offline. when I try to register for a selected doctor, I get information that there are no more places available, and I was second in line and the system was offline. Ladies lie, it's unpleasant.

Review titled Infected wound and still told to call back tomorrow….
Rated 1 star out of 5

Have recently had an operation and one of my incisions is infected and painful - tried to get an urgent appointment but told to ring back tomorrow - just got to hope it doesn’t go sceptic in the meantime. This surgery needs to be investigated before there is a serious incident!

Review titled Lovely Nurse
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Annice Gardner - Posted on 13 March 2024
13.03.23 Attended today for a blood test. The nurse was early, down to earth and friendly. I didn't feel rushed or have questions fired at me. Blood tests were done very quickly and efficiently.
