Review titled Excellent service - same day appointment at a busy practice.
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ms Monica Waters - Posted on 09 October 2024
I was pleased firstly to be given an appointment on the day I phoned. My appointment time was on schedule despite the surgery being busy. The GP quickly grasped the issue presented and questioning was thorough and helpful. I was given particular medical information I'd never been given before which explained why I was experiencing certain symptoms. I did not feel the consultation was rushed in any way. Treatment options were fulIy explained. I left reassured that the issue had been fully understood and could be successfully resolved.

Review titled No appointments available
Rated 3 stars out of 5

I cannot get an appointment because there aren’t any allocated for steroid injections. I have been trying for weeks and the response is still the same. Then on my latest call I was to try again in 3 weeks! This just isn’t good enough when you are struggling to walk with chronic pain.

I am sorry to hear you have not been able to make an appointment for a steroid injection to suit. Steroid injections are not a requirement of our NHS contracted patient care but we provide them to benefit our patients whenever there is capacity to do so. We have a major clinical system change happening in the next few weeks which has reduced our ability to provide these extra services but they will resume soon. Do contact us again in a few weeks as advised. Please feel free to contact the practice directly with any issues you feel need raising. Jo Lush, Practice Manager

Review titled Amazing Nurses
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Samantha Tungatt - Posted on 05 August 2024
I had 2 appointments today one this morning at 8.45am and one this afternoon at 4.25pm. I have to say I cannot thank them both enough, both professional, caring and so thorough, after feeling a little apprehensive about visiting the surgery (as I do not like visiting unless absolutely necessary) they both put me at ease. They were amazing! Thank you so much.

Review titled First Class Health Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Chris Haresign - Posted on 09 August 2024
I am giving this review as I was shocked to read a string of negative comments on social media accompanying a short video of an empty waiting room. My experience is a very positive one. I completed the e-Consult on the NHS app and within an hour received a phone call from the receptionist booking me to see the GP at 11.30 that day. I was seen on time and referred to a specialist at the hospital where I was seen in 10 days followed by minor surgery. My advice to patients is to try to help yourselves by using the systems provided, turn up on time for appointments - not too early and not late - and avoid social media. Every contact I have had with Waterside surgery has been a positive one.

Thank you so much for this review Chris. Social media can be as much a curse as a blessing, as events elsewhere in the country recently have shown. I hope that patients, as you have, will make an informed judgement based on the care they receive rather than forming incorrect assumptions based on images of an empty waiting room. Serving two surgeries and close to 18,000 patients, an empty waiting room reveals only that patients have arrived on time with clinicians also running to time. In my opinion that is a positive!

Went to see physio who was very helpful, put my mind at rest. Gave me great help with physio to do and how to do it properly. Was very thoughtful.

Thank you for your review. We are delighted to have a first contact physio working at Hayling Island for both practices, it provides a much needed healthcare professional just where they are needed. I have passed on your kind comments, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Review titled Outstanding Practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5

As a new patient to Waterside with complex health, I cannot praise them highly enough. Joining the practice was so easy & quick. I was literally registered overnight & given an urgent appointment the following day, the administration so efficient & responsive, amazingly so! From the staff on Reception, to the GPs themselves, everyone I’ve had direct contact with has been kind, caring, supportive, knowledgeable & responsive, I really couldn’t ask for any better. Reception staff have done their utmost to help me when needed & the GPs I’ve had contact with have been nothing but outstanding, you know they really do care about you. Even under such continued demand & pressure, Waterside maintains its high standards & the effort needed to keep reaching those within such challenging times, cannot be underestimated. It also takes Admin & Management staff to keep everything running as smoothly as possible & it’s so important to recognise the vital roles those people play too, as they often go unnoticed, yet without them nothing would work in the ways required. You can feel everyone at the practice works together to do their best for each and every patient, they so evidently have a ‘real team’ ethos & approach, you can see it & feel it. I am so grateful to each & every staff member at Waterside for everything they do, how they continually strive to ensure each & every patient gets the health care & support that they need & how they go above & beyond to keep providing the services they do in such challenging times. Thank you so so much to everyone at Waterside!
