Review titled Poor service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Richard Lindley - Posted on 17 March 2025
Don't use the surgery very often but when I need help it is not available as Whittington moor are saying they do not have enough staff to treat me We moved to a total triage system in November to better manage demand and ensure patients are seen by the right person at the right time. Last week, we received 62 more appointment requests than we had capacity to accommodate. To maintain safety for patients, we will be closing triage when we have reached capacity. We are always striving to find the best ways to serve our patients while ensuring we work safely. We do not have the funds to hire additional staff to increase capacity. Our triage system is under review, we will inform you of any further changes. Whittington Moor Surgery

Dear Mr. Lindley, Thank you for your feedback. Our message to patients does emphasise that our capacity is limited, and we are striving to maintain safety. Unfortunately, our funding is not increasing to support an expansion of our capacity. Our practice team is working tirelessly to accommodate all our patients, but the current resources remain insufficient. Please feel free to bring this to the attention of your local MP. Best regards, Tamsin Pasanisi-Cooling Practice Manager

Review titled Poor practice
Rated 1 star out of 5

Did not help with my medical issues at all. Just said all my physical issues are down to depression and to take some antidepressants, which I have said many times I didn’t want to take anymore as I have already taken the same ones before and they actually made everything several times worse even after being on them for more than 6 months. Had concerns of it being a physical issue but that was dismissed and never looked into and they never gave any explanation as to why. Didn’t listen, was aggressive and didn’t help. Overall very unempathetic and unprofessional.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I am sorry to hear this is how you felt following your appointment with us. This is not the experience we want for our patients. I would like to look in to this further for you. If you would like to contact the surgery and speak to Tamsin (Practice Manager), or Helen Proud (Operations Manager), we will happily investigate this. Kind Regards Tamsin Practice Manager

Rated 5 stars out of 5

I would like to thank everyone at the surgery for their professional and warm friendly attitude in respect of every time I have visited. Follow up phone calls following results are very good. Getting an appointment over the phone or face to face are dealt with in a timely and efficient manner. Wishing you all a Happy Christmas.

I apologise for the negative experience you encountered during your visit to our practice. We currently have new staff members undergoing training, which may have contributed to the issues you faced. Rest assured, I will convey your feedback to the team and prioritise making necessary improvements. Regarding the extension of your prescription without complete information, it is challenging for me to provide a specific comment. However, I would appreciate the chance to discuss this matter in more detail. If you are open to it, please contact to the surgery and request to speak with Tamsin, the Practice Manager. Many Thanks
