  2. Review titled Outstanding Multidisciplinary Team

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Hailey Hook - Posted on 23 May 2024

    After waking up yesterday morning with an unbearable increase in new symptoms in my right arm, I telephoned NHS 111. Within 45 minutes of the surgery opening, I received a callback from the Duty Doctor with a likely diagnosis, advice and treatment plan. I was then booked in to see the Medical Student in the afternoon to double check that nothing was being missed. I spent 40 minutes with her taking my medical history and having all the necessary examinations. I was then seen by the GP Supervisor who confirmed the original diagnosis, advice and treatment plan. I'm incredibly grateful for the very swift action from the entire team, working together for the best outcome for their patient. A huge thank you to the lovely lady working on the Reception desk yesterday afternoon. She very kindly found out how late the Medical Student was running for me because I still had not been seen within 30 minutes of my appointment time. She was very understanding of my concern and found out the information very quickly. Thank you wonderful team!

  3. Review titled fantastic response

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Susan Elizabeth Bateman - Posted on 30 April 2024

    Thank you so much for responding to my request for advice on whether to go to A and E today. I was really anxious because either a long journey or a long wait can be off putting. The receptionist very kindly offered to ask a nurse to look at my injury. The nurse who examined my swollen thumb was so kind, and her advice has worked really well. My thumb is much better already. Thank you so much!

  5. Review titled Helpful and efficient

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    I had a specific request and the receptionist was helpful in facilitating me. The doctor then prescribed the correct medicine, putting my mind at rest re the issue I had come to the practice to have checked out.

  6. Review titled Outstanding Care From My GP

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 15 December 2023

    My GP has always shown me the most incredible support, compassion, kindness and understanding. The practice overall is outstanding but I'm disappointed by the lack of professionalism that I noticed during my visit yesterday afternoon. While waiting for my GP to call me in for my Consultation, I noticed a slightly sarcastic note stuck to the wall high above the check in screen. It read something along the lines of "Please can we kindly ask patients to use the wonderful check in screen thing" Apart from the fact that you can only see this sign once you're already sat down in the waiting area due to it being stuck so high up on the wall, I found the wording really unprofessional. I would advise rewording the sign and putting it at eye level and possibly put it in a free standing sign in front of the reception desk for more impact. I would have used the "Wonderful check in screen thing" if it wasn't for the fact I was over an hour early and your machine won't actually allow me to check in when your more then 30 minutes before your appointment.

    Hello I am Jon Frank, the practice manager at Observatory and I am sorry to hear that you found the sign above the patient check in screen to be unprofessional. I will speak to the Observatory Signage Department to report your observations and suggest that they try harder next time. The check in system works by date of birth and so to reduce the chance of multiple patients with the same date of birth checking in around the same time, has the "window" set at 30 minutes. Your sincerely, Jon Frank

    From booking my appointment to seeing the Doctor it was first class, when you think of all the pressure the NHS is under they still care and treat you like a human, with care and dignity

    Burnout is truly dreadful leaving me feeling. Exhausted and vulnerable. The GPs showed kindness, consideration and were extremely helpful and supportive.
