  3. Review titled Great online reception desk

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by peter wootton - Posted on 19 May 2025

    Today at 08-10 I used the online reception desk requesting a change in my wife's medication , received a text at 09 20 informing me I had a phone consultation booked for 09-40 or if I wished this could be changed for a face to face appointment, Dr rang me at appointed time we discussed my wife's need of a better pain relief med, the prescription was sent to our chemist at airevalley surgery, I collected this at lunchtime. Now this is what I call excellent service. Thank you all involved Peter

  4. Review titled Phenomenal practice

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Chloe Vites - Posted on 19 May 2025

    I just wanted to take some time out to really commend the practice. I am consistently impressed with how quickly I get an appointment or get a reply from an e-consult, how nice everyone is and overall how happy I am with the practice. It's truly a testament to the staff and how well run it is.

  6. Review titled System Online

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Russell Turner - Posted on 05 March 2025

    Good Morning, I used System online this morning and firstly looked at the boxes for booking an apointment. I selected a range of dates but none were available. Eventually I realised that these boxes do not function and the online triage form must be completed. May I suggest that this box be removed as clearly it does not function and wastes patients time and the receptionist when a patient then make a phone call instead. I did point this out to the receptionist this morning and she advised me to make a complaint. I chose not to make a complaint because this can be resolved using common sense and basic logic. Many thanks, Russell.

    Dear Russell Thank you for your feedback. I know the section that you are referring to which is on systemone online and unfortunately we can't remove it as it's a national computer set up. We appreciate your frustration that it is not made clear that we can't offer appointments that way. System one online is the place where patients can securely order prescriptions, and have to log into with passwords. The reason that we have no appointments showing is that we operate a total triage system here. This means that 100% of appointment requests are filtered through by one of the Doctors, and they will advise who the best person is to manage the symptoms, and in what timescale. They may for example offer a physio, mental health professional or specialise Nurse. They may also direct someone to a Pharmacy (as they do offer antibiotics now) or to the walk in centre for things that need an x-ray. If patients were to book online without being triaged, there is a risk that they may be waiting longer than needed, and then end up with the wrong professional for example waiting weeks for something that sounds like an emergency to the GP or for something that could have been dealt with sooner by a different professional. Thank for the feedback however, we shall continue to raise this with the software provider and we do appreciate it is not ideal for this to be visible when you log on. Best Wishes Victoria Johnson Practice Manager

  7. Review titled Fantastic GP Practice

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Susan Ellen Hedley - Posted on 22 March 2025

    Filled in online form for my elderly father. Telephone call very quickly and all in from submitting the form he had been seen by a GP Registrar within an hour. Not many surgeries provide such a service. This is not an isolated incident. The service is always timely and excellent - I'm just not as efficient in leaving reviews every time! When Dad was seen the Dr was, as always, excellent and very thorough. Thank you to all at Aire Valley Surgery. I did try to specifically name the GP but the review system wouldn't allow it!!

  8. Review titled Fantastic service

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by peter wootton - Posted on 03 January 2025

    I had cause for a medical concern so I completed the online reception desk questionnaire, so simple to do this. I submitted it at 08-10 on the 3 Jan 2025 and had a call back by 08-20 inviting me for an appointment at -09-50 which I gladly accepted. I was met with the usual cheery welcome we always receive from all the staff at our practice. I had a long chat with Dr and further investigations are now organised. Thank you so much for your very prompt response

  9. Review titled Online limitations

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 20 November 2024

    I tried to contact the surgery and found it very frustrating that whilst we are encouraged to use the Online Reception service, this can only be done between the hours of 8am and 4pm weekdays. Why? It's not always convenient to remember to send messages then. Why can routine messages not be sent 24 hours, then responded to when the surgery re-opens?

    Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry to hear that you found the online service to be frustrating. GP surgeries in the NHS are only open on week days. Our online Receptionist is an enhanced extension of our Reception team and therefore can only be staffed in hours too. As such any messages received outside of our working times could not be processed. There would be two main risks here to receiving messages whilst the service is not staffed: a) Patients waiting for a response to something which may be more urgent than a patient is aware of. Sometimes what sounds routine to a patient is really much more urgent and sometimes very important to not wait for. When the service was previously open outside the core hours, staff would come in to read unsafe requests that should not have been submitted this way and should not have waited. i.e. a Friday night: I've run out of medication or I have chest pain - which were then not read until Monday. Once the request had been passed to the surgery those patients then believed they were being dealt with. That is not safe out of core hours as they were not even being read yet. Those patients should have gone elsewhere and not waited. b) A backlog of requests each morning. When the service was previously open outside the core hours, staff would come in every day to many many existing requests to read - both admin and medical. This would cause a significant delay in the team being able to get to process the same day urgent problems. During weekdays, the service closes at 4pm every day to enable all requests to be reviewed (and any urgent patients called in) before close. Reception is however open for phone calls up to 6pm, and at the Reception desks until 6:30pm There are a variety of other NHS services that may be able to assist when the GP is closed - NHS 111, local Pharmacies the out of hours GP service, the extended hours services at the Guiseley hub and the Urgent Treatment Centre and we still receive patient letters in the post and through the door too. We really do appreciate you sharing this feedback and shall take it on board, but our current decision to close the online service outside of core hours is for patient safety reasons.

  10. Review titled Swift treatment

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Jenny Wilson - Posted on 21 October 2024

    Just a note to thank the reception staff today at Rawdon Surgery (21st October 2024) for the last minute appointment to sort out my foot ... a key part of my job teaching exercise! Good treatment by the Silver Lane GP on duty this afternoon means I can now crack on. Thanks again.
