Review titled Unable to get an appointment - disappointing and dangerous
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 October 2024
It is very upsetting, disappointing (and dangerous) that you are unable to book an appointment for a set time. If you work full time and are unable to answer the phone at any point of the day, it is very upsetting that you are unable to access and appointment and help. I have asked several times if a telephone appointment can be made for a set time as I work full time in an office environment and have many client meetings a day. Unfortunately, the practice have not been forthcoming and I have not been able to access help. Please can I be contacted. Thank you.

Dear Anonymous, I am sorry to hear you have felt 'disappointed and upset' with the access system. I am unsure why you have struggled with booking an appointment outside of work hours, as we have appointments available with a GP Monday - Thursday 18.30 - 20.00 and Saturdays from 09.00 - 17.00. This is a platform to share experiences; if you would like this matter investigated, please email the practice on nhsbsolicb.receptionywhc@nhs.net and mark for the attention of the complaints team - we would be more than happy to look into this further for you and get to the bottom of your challenges. Kind Regards Sophia Practice Manager

Booking system is simple. I’ve never had trouble getting an appointment. Doctors are quick to see you in person if needed. Receptionists were very helpful when a recent appointment was cancelled and I couldn’t make the appointments they offered, they quickly found an alternative time.

Review titled Message stating I didn't attend my appointment
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Michael Donnelly - Posted on 07 October 2024
You have sent me a message stating I didn't attend my appointment which I cancelled and rebooked the day before the appointment. I don't want people thinking I am wasting NHS time.

Dear Caroline, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and allowing us the opportunity to put your mind at rest regarding some of the concerns you have raised. I am sorry you felt our booking link process was challenging to use - although I am surprised you felt following a link to select an appointment date and time of your preference challenging. We introduced this option to avoid patients having to wait on the phone to manually book an appointment. If you have any suggestions to improve the process, we would love to hear from you! There is a suggestions box in the foyer where you can post any ideas for improvement. The Medical Florey form which I believe you are referencing, is open every single day from 8am to 12pm and 1pm to 4pm with no exceptions to this rule so it shouldn't be showing as unavailable during these hours. If this is the case, please do pop into the practice with your device for us to have a look. We would love to get to the bottom of why you are experiencing trouble accessing the form. On the topic of hand hygiene please be assured we have stringent infection control procedures which all of our clinicians follow. Regarding aftercare we have leaflets available in the practice with a wealth of information. If this is inconvenient you can find the same versions online. I hope that satisfies your concerns Kind Regards Sophia Practice Manager

Review titled Good
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Neil Roach - Posted on 08 October 2024
Unfortunately my appointment was delayed by almost an hour as the phlebotomist had been locked out of her computer and was unable to gain access. My wife had an appointment elsewhere which I was attending with her so the delay meant it was a rush to get to the other appointment due to the delay. My appointment was a review blood test for my CKD so was reluctant to not have it as it is so difficult to get another appointment
