Review titled Extremely efficient
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 October 2024
I was invited to have a flu injection at the surgery. It was extremely easy to book tye appointment on line. The organisation was excellent, from entering the surgery there were staff pointing out where to go. The injection was pain free and I was in and out of the building within 2 minutes. Well done to everyone involved.

Review titled Good practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Susan Atkinson - Posted on 25 July 2023
I’ve had two appointments the first one was with a health care assistant who carried out blood tests, blood pressure, weight and height. She was very friendly and efficient. My appointment was sent via a text to me. The appointment today was for the results of my annual check and was with the practice nurse. The appointment was again sent via text. I saw her on time and we discussed the findings of my tests. She was very approachable and efficient explaining the outcomes in a clear manner.

Recently had side effects from one of my medications, my GP was on leave so was informed Pharmacist would contact me. He called the next day, he was excellent, changed my medication, requested to review how i was doing with new meds in a week and called me back. All sorted now, really efficient and great service.

We are sorry that you’ve had problems contacting the surgery. Due to the demand on the service, we are experiencing a high volume of calls on a daily basis. On the 11th of May 2023 we did change the phone suppliers and you should have received a text message informing you of this. This stops patient from getting an engage tone when contacting the surgery. When you get to caller 7 or more the system asks if you want to be place into a queue and it will ring you back when you at place 1. All requests for appointments are triage first by the Advanced Nurse Practitioner. An ANP will call you back within the morning an appointment will be arrange if needed. These telephone triage appointments are released every morning at 8am, Monday to Friday. You can book these by calling the surgery phone number or online. To get you registered for online service contact the surgery and we can register you straight away. Patient contacting the practice with emergencies problems will be put through the GP oncall for that day, patients with less urgent problems will be signposted to the out of hours service in Barnsley (iHeart). If you need to discuss this any further please do not hesitate to contact the Practice Manager at the surgery.

Review titled Good service
Rated 4 stars out of 5

I had a bad experience trying to get through so ended up calling down early morning to get my daughter an appointment. Pleasantly surprised she had bloods taken by a lovely lady that reassured my daughter . Her appointment afterwards was by the Nurse Practitioner that took the time to explain to my daughter about her periods. She was very thorough and I was so impressed . So if you can get an appointment service is very good .
