Review titled Doing the job the best it can.
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Ken P - Posted on 29 November 2023
My appointment time was missed/late. I didn't mind that too much. The clinical practitioner I saw was very professional, knowledgeable. empathic and compassionate. She clearly wanted the best for me, which encouraged partnering over my health management, rather than being told what to do! There was clearly a conflict between the time available in the standard ten minute appointment slot, which was, in my view, insufficient time to meet her needs and mine to exchange information. So we ran over time in order to get the real work done, beyond describing and dispensing I have great respect for the clinical practitioner; and can see the effect of time constraints on her and on the accumulation of delayed appointments. I wonder how much slack is built into the system to allow for flexibility. I am grateful for the NHS being there, but have concerns that is sometimes system driven, rather than responsive to people's personal needs as well as medical ones. I don't know if yhat's fair comment, it is my view though. Thanks for asking

Dear Ken, Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you had such a good experience with our clinician, our team work really hard to ensure this is the case. As a practice we try to build in flexibility where we can however, certain parts of the system, such as the number of appointments clinicians have and the length of time they are given, are relatively set. This is in order to ensure we provide enough appointments for all patients across the day. Sometimes appointments are moved around and squeezed in to try to address clinical need and this then impacts future appointments. If you would like to review this with us further, and in more specific detail please email us on contact.thewallhouse@nhs.net for the attention of our practice manager who can then investigate further. Many thanks, Dr Steely, GP Partner

Review titled Lack of care
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 February 2024
Three months ago I had a problem with my kidneys, I was sent for a blood test, then I was told to go onto 5mg Dapagliflozin for 1 month,then have my blood tested again and after the results of the blood test I would be put onto 10mg & this would happen within 6 weeks, but I have had 2 months of 5mg & blood test to see if I am able to take 10mg. 1st February I had my blood test and have not heard anything regarding this test & am not sure if I am going onto 10mg. I have been phoning Wallhouse Surgery for over 2 weeks to try & receive results to see what the outcome of my blood test was and whether I take 10mg or not. I am almost 80 years of age and I don't need all this hassle of trying to get some satisfaction and closure of my blood test, signing my prescription is such a big thing with Wallhouse, I realise they are busy and I am in my senior years but need to be looked after just as well as other younger patients. My experience with Wallhouse is not good, communication needs to be improved in order to give "patients" less hassle regarding test results etc. Signing a prescription takes only seconds and forward it to the appropriate chemist near the patient, its not rocket science.

Dear Anon, Thank you for your feedback, we are very sorry you feel that your experience did not meet expectations. Communication with patients is something we feel is extremely important so when this falls down we want to know in order to ensure we can correct any issues. The prescription service is a crucial part of our service which is more complex than it may appear. Safe renewal of a person's medication, reviewing of any relevant blood tests and oversight of any potential contraindications or interactions all occurs each time your repeat is processed, a new drug started or a dose change is considered. The staff involved are highly trained to ensure this happens as smoothly as possible but there are several points in the chain which can cause delay - may of which we have little control over. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further in person - please email us with more details about your concerns at contact.thewallhouse@nhs.net. Many thanks, Dr Steely

I contacted the Surgery last Thursday for a routine check up and was given an appointment for today at 10 45. I was seen exactly on time and was very reassured by the Doctor who explained what was going to happen. My husband has also had good care.

Review titled Great from start to finish
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Lucy - Posted on 22 June 2023
I had a very smooth booking experience as I was able to use to on line portal rather than sit on the phone. When I arrived, the receptionist was lovely and updated all my families records as we had recently moved house. By the time I got upstairs to my appointment, it was already in the system. The nurse I dealt with was considerate and friendly and put me completely at ease. She was also very efficient and knowledgeable. Couldn’t fault my experience at all

Dear Lucy, Thank you for your feedback on your experience. We have been working hard to ensure our appointment systems work well for patients. Similarly, our patient services team have been improving our processes at reception to ensure they are as proactive as possible - making every contact count and avoiding duplication for patients where possible. This is an ongoing process but really good to demonstrate to the team the positive impact it has. I will share your compliments with our team, many thanks, Dr Steely, GP Partner
