Review titled Triage System
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Tish - Posted on 15 April 2024
The triage system is not fit for purpose. For the 4th time it has told me to go to A&E when due to the options I selected I was expecting to be offered an appointment in a week. I have no idea why

Review titled bad practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 April 2024
I got acute serious disease. However I only got 2 nurse appointments and one pharmacist appointment. Impossible to get doctor appointments. I had to spend significant moneys to see private GPs. And finally charged in hospital from a&e. I even need to use private GPs for my after-hospital care. Won’t trust this gp anymore. Considering to leave this gp now. I can see this gp is still taking new clients. They are oversubscribed.

Review titled Easy to get my test results
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 March 2024
I wanted to book an appointment for test results and was worried about phoning up as I am busy at work and it’s difficult to call except on breaks. I found I was able to use the new online system to book a call with a doctor through the Admin request section, and I a requested a call from a doctor who called back the next day. Took away all my concerns about calling to book

Review titled Great new system for appointments
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 March 2024
I was delighted to use the new appointment system to book an appointment and got one within a couple of days. I particularly liked the ability to do that when I was at home after work as I find it difficult to call during the day, and prefer to book online

Rated 4 stars out of 5

I had a telephone appointment this evening at 18.30. By 20.30, I had still not received a phone call, although had received a text reminder. I have rescheduled this appointment.

Review titled Great Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 April 2024
I booked an appointment for ear microsuction on both sides due to too much ear wax and was seen by the Practice Nurse. The whole process was very efficient from start to finish. She was extremely reassuring, putting me at ease and explaining the procedure. She kept me informed throughout the procedure of what to expect next and was very clear. She was so pleasant and knowledgeable that I would not hesitate to return to the surgery to have this done.

Review titled Awful system, impossible to get paediatric appointments
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 25 March 2024
I used to highly rate the groves however since the new booking system it has rapidly declined and so have the reception staff. I have a child (under 1) who I have been unable to get an appointment for since before Christmas. These appointments will be for various reasons. I call on the morning to get an appointment and by the time my call is answered they’re gone. We have had to use A&E and out of hours GP’s to be seen as the groves cannot/will not help. It has now come to light this is because the new booking system triages adults but not children. So for the children’s appointments you have to book on the morning and hope that by the time they answer all the appointments haven’t gone. We are really considering changing GP’s

Review titled Outstanding care
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Colin - Posted on 20 March 2024
Really excellent care and support, with several follow up calls and face-to-face appointments over getting me on the right medication. Very thorough and efficient feedback on extensive blood tests. Have used this surgery since 1984 and to me it goes from strength to strength.

Review titled Terrible booking system
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 March 2024
The receptionist said she can only help me with filling out the online form if I’m blind. I have a learning disability and cannot read or cope with online question options this is too stressful for me. I don’t feel safe putting my personal medical information on line or asking my carer to do this when only the doctor should have this. She told me to go to ring 999 or go to A and E. My mum has filled this out for me.

Recently I was having a bad experience with my asthma cough and the service I received was very quick and supportive. I would recommend the asthma support service to anyone managing their asthma.
