Review titled Poor service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 April 2024
Queued from 7.00am for the reception shutters to open at 8.00am . Second in the queue to be told no GP appointments. Following a conversation the receptionist reluctantly gave me an appointment with the nurse practitioner. I work for the NHS and I am required to wear my ID badge , do the reception staff wear name badges? I asked if I could speak to the team leader/ manager or practice manager . The reply from the receptionist was the surgery doesn't have one! Really! . Don't mean to be unkind but maybe some reception staff training could be undertaken with a view to improve attitudes

Review titled Terrible appointment System
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 19 September 2023
Once again I’m totally frustrated and very upset after trying for 4 working days to get an appointment . As others do, I’ve constantly redialled the practice since 8 am, get through at 8.30 am only to be told yet again , no appointments and call back in morning or physically queue / get someone else to queue for me at 8 am . This is not possible as 1- I’m not well enough to queue and 2- My relatives and friends are at work! I had major surgery 7 weeks ago and should be able to be seen for my concerns . This is what the hospital told me on discharge .I’m unable to go to Story Street as I can’t sit or stand for very long and this shouldn’t be the standard option . I know the reception staff are under pressure, but some compassion wouldn’t go amiss and there needs to be a better system in place . It’s absolutely appalling and causes unnecessary distress . I also anticipate the standard response to this will be to please call the reception team to discuss . Ha!! We can never get through!

Review titled Not on the system
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 21 February 2023
I called today as I have been told I have cervical cancer and I am struggling with symptoms. I have been told I have been taken off the system and I have to ring someone else. I do this and I get the same receptionist. Now I have to wait and call them again. I need an appointment today I have been struggling for so long now and I don’t think it is fair I have to find out why I’m not on the system considering what I am and have gone through. I need a gp in general. Now when I sort this I will have to ring for an appointment and I can guarantee they will be none for me. I only want advice over the phone and a sick note for work as I have self certified for a week already and I am no better in pain or mental health wise

Review titled awful practice
Rated 1 star out of 5

I have been ringing since 8 am this morning and still can't get throw and it is now 8.32 300 time I have rang. this is disgusting. you're supposed to be the GP surgery. I know at times that the line will be busy but not for 30 mins!!. this is awful wouldn't recommend this surgery to anyone. I have read the comments and it is alright saying that contact the GP surgery because you would like to discus this but that not the problem they wouldn't do anything more then likely be waiting in a queue for an hour. I am still on the phone now and they have just answered saying I ma 16 in the queue at this rate won't even get an appointment no wonder the NHS is over run if you can't get into your doctors as they don't pick up the phone.

Review titled Terrible!
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Leanne - Posted on 13 September 2022
I've been trying to get my child the necessary referrals done but they can't be done until the GP receives a report from the assesment. This Report has been emailed over about 7 times now since 17th August! Yet I'm still being told it's not been received! The email is correct. Ive been in and out of the practice for the last week trying to sort this and I'm getting no where! The place who sent the report has been in contact to try and sort it and I was told yesterday afternoon by them that it was all sorted and the practice had finally received my child's report.....I go in this morning regarding sorting out his referrals and I'm told his report isn't on his file therefore I can't sort referrals! I'm going round in circles, I'm extremely frustrated and I'm not happy atall! What is going on!

Review titled The worst!!!
Rated 1 star out of 5

It is impossible to get an appointment. If you make a call between 8.00-8.30 you can try hundreds of times to make a call, the line is always busy, if you get through you are the 16th on the line, when finally you are the 1st after 50 mins sent on the phone your call is disconnected?! So you go through all this again and if some miracle happens and your call is finally answered, of course there is no appointment available until next week or you can try to call tomorrow again, no mention that the other side is not hearing you properly and they just cut you off, the reception is useless I don't understand what are they actually doing there, no help, no information provided, no answer or recommendation, absolutely ridiculous people. If you have the opportunity to see a doctor or a nurse these all are useless and they have absolutely no knowledge. Please run away from this place because it drives me crazy and if you can save your health condition avoiding this place forever! If you want to make a complaint you can't find this information on the website to who to write a complaint to...
