  1. Review titled Need more staff

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 02 April 2025

    Darwen Healthlink desperately needs more staff, both on reception and in the doctors offices. Waiting 20 minutes as number 1 in the queue to speak to a receptionist about doctor not ringing me for my phone appointment, I’m autistic and struggle with timing so have been waiting all day for the phone call so I don’t miss it and nearly 3 hours later still no call.

    Dear Anonymous I am sorry to hear that your experience with the practice today was not a positive one. If you would like to contact me directly at the surgery, I will look into the points that you have raised. Kind regards Mrs Frances Procter Practice Manager

  3. Review titled Prompt and professional practice

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Stuart - Posted on 07 April 2025

    My recent contact with the practice has been to have investigations into a potentially serious problem. Appropriate tests were immediately arranged and follow-up consultations were arranged promptly. I have to say, I have always had a good response from their professional staff and today’s follow-up consultation was no exception. I was able to discuss the test outcomes, current health concerns and have those concerns resolved. Thank goodness for Darwin Healthlink

    My experience at Darwen Healthlink was very positive. Considering the pressures the NHS is under the time and consideration given at my appointment was great.

  5. Review titled Confusion regarding phone appointments

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Stephen Wright - Posted on 11 April 2025

    The practice does not appear to distinguish clearly internally nor via the MyGP app the difference between phone appointments and face to face appointments. Today 11April2025 at 13:30 I had an appointment. However, the practice nurse had previously advised that she would call me to review how I was getting on with my new medication. But, on this occasion the practice had arranged a face to face appointment. This means the confusion has lead to a missed appointment. Even though I had been text about the appointment, I was still expecting a phone call. Please can you make it clear to distinguish between face to face appointments and phone calls. At the moment I don't believe it is clear and it will lead to more confusion and missed appointments.

  6. Review titled Wonderful support

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    My recent experience with the practice has been very positive. The receptionist staff were really helpful with my test results and the doctor I spoke with is coordinating my care wonderfully. I would fully recommend her to other patients, and will be asking to see her again in future.

  10. Review titled Good practice but could do better

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    Extremely satisfied today with both the appointment and the practitioner. However I do find appointments are sometimes very annoying as the men tend to book you in with the ‘spoke doctor’ rather than one of your own.
