  1. Review titled Would recommend

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 08 November 2024

    Recently had cataract surgery and would highly recommend CHEC Accrington for the great care received from the team and for the quality of the procedure carried out. Very happy so far with the outcome.

  2. Review titled Great staff but poor booking technology

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 14 November 2024

    Been to Chec at Blackpool on a number of occasions and found both frontline staff and consultants really great, gainful and supportive. Unfortunately the follow up IT booking process for on going appointments is incredibly poor, leading to multiple appointments for the same issue, letters which arrive on the day of or after appointments in spite of earlier receiving rext messages for the same appointment. I have huge sympathy for the staff at CHEC, it must be so frustrating. Someone needs to get a grip of the IT/booking system and give the staff the help they deserve!

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    All the staff were really lovely and so helpful. I was worried about the operation but they were really kind and put me at ease I am so glad I went there and not to a large hospital for the operation.

  6. Review titled Communication Problems

    Rated 2 stars out of 5

    by David Stride - Posted on 06 November 2024

    I needed to postpone an appointment due to illness, but the phone number I was given in a telephone reminder was unobtainable. I then used the company number, but was 28th in the queue, so I went on line to the company website as recommended. I reached the page to reschedule my appointment, but I was repeatedly sent in a loop when I specified the date and time. In desperation I phoned the NHS clinic where my appointment was due to take place, but was told that they were a separate entity to CHEC and had no means of informing them that I could not keep my appointment. Finally I went back to the CHEC website and found an online chat icon. Only then was I able to establish contact with someone who was able to reschedule my appointment. The whole business needlessly took well over an hour, and left me frustrated and angry, when I was already unwell. When I did get to my rescheduled appointment, I was expecting to have a quick eye pressure test (as had happened at my previous two appointments), but instead had a full set of tests. The appointment letters I receive from CHEC are generic and always the same, so I never know what to expect at an appointment (in particular whether I will have eye drops which prevent me from driving afterwards). In conclusion I find the communications from CHEC to be inadequate, and communication with them from my side to be frustratingly difficult. I would like to say however, that the staff themselves are very pleasant, friendly, and know their jobs, but are not fully trained in explaining to patients what the procedures and processes are for monitoring and checking their eye health.

  10. Review titled Wasted appointments

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Jane - Posted on 12 October 2024

    I have taken time off work to take my mum to 2 appointments at CHEC Redditch, only to be told equipment is not working or that, although she has a letter confirming that she will meet with the specialist, this does not happen and yet another appointment is required. Are CHEC being paid for these "appointments"?
