Review titled Eczema on face
by Justsomeone - Posted on 26 September 2022
Contacted my surgery last week about my face and neck being extremely itchy and painful due to eczema (I used to be on an ointment called dermovate, that they stopped saying I needed a review, which they haven't got back to me about). I was told that I'd get a call back later that day. The next day, I had a text waiting for me, asking for me to send pictures, to which I did, no response. It is now a week later and still no response. I called the surgery again, they checked my file saw that I had logged an econsult last week and again they said someone will contact me later that day. Just received a text message that they will give me a call me in 10 days time. This is 17 days after my initial consultation, for something that I have sent in photos and have on file for a preexisting medical condition. How is this even possible? Can barely sleep, itching till I bleed, let alone being in a customer facing position.

This is regarding telephone conversation I rang at 2.45 my husband damanged his arm bleeding asked to see practice nurse told no appointments go to A E no appointment necessary bearing in mind he is a diabetic and 88yrs only to be turned away as we did need appointment . Then to top it all I rang at dead on eight o’clock next morning and was told no appointments only emergency’s . What’s the point of ringing at dead on eight o’clock .There could not have been any appointments in the first place .

I hope your husband in better and sorry for your experience. Please note we are not an emergency service and are not a walk in service this is at WBCH. The summer months are always the most stretched for access due to staffing shortages.

Review titled Such Poor Service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Elizabeth Pickard - Posted on 05 August 2022
I was seen by a Doctor outside of my Surgery and he recommended I speak to my Doctor and request to be referred to a specialist. I tried calling my surgery and they requested I book an appointment by econsult which I completed comprehensively on the 1st August 2022. They responded with their earlier appointment for the 19th August and they cannot guarantee a call with a Doctor. All I want is a referral letter…..why do I need to wait so long. The service is incredibly poor.

All eConsults are looked at by a GP and then action taken accordingly. If it was not thought to be urgent then it can take up to 2-3 weeks.

Review titled Efficient, professional practice

Recently registered with Falkland Surgery, I cannot fault the service I have received. The staff are very helpful and friendly. On the occasions I have needed to contact a doctor, they have always called back the same day and nothing seems to much trouble.
