Review titled Disappointed
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Don Shenton - Posted on 04 April 2024
Once a great? Kept waiting over 30mins from appointent time. Medication Assessment which was to have blood taken all took less than 10min. Technician advised he was with another patient for (45min)! ? More like lunch, Patient time is valuable too (I would have been sent away if I was late!) this was after notifying receptionist twice of delay, Medication not mentioned ?

Mayflower, are sorry to hear of your recent visit with the surgery, was disappointing. Our clinical staff work hard to keep to time but often there are emergencies that require the immediate attention and a delay in seeing the next patient. It is important that we investigate this for you, please could we ask you to reach out to our governance team on, d-icb.mayflower.feedback@nhs.net Who will happily look into this for you, in more detail. Many Thanks, Mayflower Medical group

Review titled Above and beyond
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Theresa - Posted on 12 April 2024
I just want to say Thank You for the last couple of weeks; to a truly amazing doctor who gave me time and respect, followed through on everything discussed including an MRI referral (which I’ve also already had today). And to your nurse clinicians who have treated me with patience and kindness, given great advice and one in particular who I saw twice for treatment… we even had a few laughs! In a time when there is so much pressure and negativity, I just wanted to say thank you all for going above and beyond and making me feel like a worthy human again.

Review titled Communication failure
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by George Moore - Posted on 26 April 2024
Having taken a prescription renewal to the Mannamead surgery, handed it over to the receptionist on the 15th April, I expected my elected pharmacy to notify me it was ready to be collected. Having heard nothing, I visited the surgery on the 26th April, told to contact the Stirling Road surgery, which I did, only to be told my request had not been forwarded. I thought "mistakenly" that by handing over the request matters would progress. This was not the case however. I then had to process my request on an urgent basis. Finally getting a result. There are apps etc, however it would seem hand delivery of documentation is no longer acceptable, or subject to the transmitting of information being lost or ignored. How can you justify that your receptionists cannot be trusted to carry out a simple task such as this.

Review titled Out of hours service not fit for purpose
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mary P - Posted on 01 April 2024
My son is extremely unwell, called NHS 111 yesterday and was assessed as needing to speak to a clinician which he eventually did and was told that he needed to be seen at a face to face appointment and would receive a callback before midnight with the appointment details. No callback so he's having to run the whole gauntlet again today, what's the point in handing a massive contract to a private equity company who the fail to deliver the care that people need? This is also why A &E is overrun.

Dear Mary, We are sorry to hear that this has happened. The surgery are not open over the Easter Bank Holidays, the contact that you had was with an out of hours provider, not the surgery. Would you like us to see if we can find the contact details for you to report this back to the 111 service. If you find that you need further support for your son, the surgery will be open again, tomorrow morning from 8am. Many thanks, Mayflower Medical group.

Review titled Really worried and dissapointed.
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Brian Gregory - Posted on 09 February 2024
Until a couple of months ago I was happy with the surgery. Concerning any issues that arose, it was possible to see a receptionist who would sort things out. However, on my last visit on 29th January 2023, I was advised to ring 01752982200 or the email address stated to request further medication. It has been prescribed for three months now. Being away from Plymouth for nine days necessitated a request to get a prescription earlier than normal. I tried both courses of action without success. Cut off from the telephone number after holding on without speaking to anyone. Subsequently, I tried the email address and found it to be unfathomable. The only thing I can try now is to write a letter to my doctor and take it to the surgery. I do not expect an immediate response as they are extremely busy. Both the doctors and receptionists work hard to try and make things work. However, the NHS system as it stands, is not fit for purpose, unfortunately, that reflects on the Mannamead Surgery. As I am waiting for heart surgery and my additional medication is due to run out in 4 days I am extremely worried.

Review titled Gone from bad to worse
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mary P - Posted on 26 September 2023
Just spent over an hour in the telephone queue system only to have the call disconnected when I reached number two. Same thing last week, tried twice and cut off both times after a lengthy wait....ended up having to go to the surgery and speak to a receptionist who said "I'm not surprised, loads of people have been saying that!" Any chance of getting this sorted out? Patient access has gone from bad to worse. Almost everyone I know at this Surgery have or are trying to transfer elsewhere, can't help wondering if that's the intention.

Dear Mary, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you had issues getting through on the phone. Unfortunately, this was due to a problem with the phone system that was beyond our control. We are currently in the process of procuring a new phone system which will manage the demand more efficiently. Once again, I am sorry that you experienced this issue. Yours sincerely, Jo Beniston, Head of Clinical Governance

Review titled Incompetent
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 September 2023
A simple contraceptive pill check and repeat prescription. I booked in and saw the nurse on the 22nd August - leaving plenty of time before I needed a repeat script. Went to the pharmacy today and they didn't have it. Phoned the script team, she couldn't understand what had gone wrong, but said I would be able to pick up the first 3 months worth by the end of the week. I then got a text from the surgery saying that because I hadn't had a pill review I was only being issued with one month and to make an appointment (My appointment was on the 22nd August). Called the script team again, same girl gave no real explanation but said I would be able to pick up one months by the end of the week, and would have to go back next week for the other 2. This is a waste of time and energy, and is the last straw in what has been a series of errors and poor service over the last few years, I've put in a request to register at a new surgery, one that is not run by Mayflower. Incidentally, when I had my nurses appointment last month I discovered that the surgery had not updated my address from September last year, despite the relevant forms being completed and it being chased up previously and having been told it had been completed. Turned out the note had been put in the wrong place on my profile. You can not trust this surgery to get anything right.

Review titled Shocking
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 20 April 2023
Arrived 4 mins late because of school traffic. Waited behind lady to check in on computer screen which took 4/5 mins and wouldn't let her check in then wouldn't let us check in so both had to wait at desk for another 5 mins for receptionist to stop talking and finally come back to the desk then it took a few more mins to check older lady in because she was hard of hearing. We finally got checked in and sat down 15 mins later i asked receptionist how much longer she said we were next in bearing in mind this was 30 mins after my daughters appointment. Then 15 mins after me asking receptionist came out and said sorry she cant see your daughter because you were late so i explained how long we waited for her and that the machine wasn’t working and why has it taken nearly 40 mins to come and tell me we cant be seen. She just stared at me and said nurse can see your daughter in may bearing in mind we were told needed to be seen within 2 weeks but ended up being 5 weeks. Absolute joke mannamead surgery is.

Review titled Unsafe and uncaring
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 April 2023
My parents are registered with this practice. I have been unconvinced of the capabilities of the staff for a while. This has been further confounded since the introduction of the ‘e consult’. Our most recent experience was my mum being told she didn’t have bowel cancer….that would have been great had they been her results! I have no faith that the actual blood results she was given were hers. She was then sent a list of foods to eat to improve her b9 deficiency. Most of which she is intolerant to. If this was the only single issue I could accept it as human error, sadly though it is not.
