Review titled If you need help you will get it.
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 May 2024
As a vulnerable patient I have had reason to contact the surgery a number of times over the last 2 weeks. Although a long wait(probably due to time wasters )to speak to a receptionist ,they were professional ,kind and were able to help me by directing me to a medical professional.

Review titled Efficient and Caring Practice

I phoned Earl Soham Surgery for test results. The Receptionist was efficient, polite and kind. I felt fully supported . Follow up by the GP was also efficient.

Rated 1 star out of 5

Rang up this morning at 08.00 and got told for an non emergency appointment got to wait till August.... We are in march. Seriously this doctors surgery has gone to pot. The receptionist has more control than they should do. Apparently they have a medical degree. Time to change doctors

Review titled Disgraceful
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 February 2024
Receptionists there refuse to give appointments. Doctors don't diagnose properly. My partner has had a continuous cough for four weeks. He saw a doctor who didn't even examine him properly, then prescribed him amoxicillin for a week. The cough has since gotten worse a week later and when he asked to see a doctor again, the receptionist wouldn't give him an appointment. This practice is an absolute disgrace.

Another poor experience with practice, receptionist not listening or demonstrating any understanding, just feel fobbed off again.

Review titled They send you round in circles forever

All they do is refer you to another useless practitioner who then refers you back again with no diagnosis

Review titled Hasn't bounced back after Covid... unhelpful and difficult
Rated 1 star out of 5

Fantastic surgery when I first moved here (7 years ago) but sadly is not the case now. It is proving increasingly difficult to actually get an appointment or to see a Doctor - you are pointed to make an effort in every other possible direction, whether it's to physio or an Optician, etc. All, may I add, at additional time, effort and cost and not always appropriate. When - and if - you do actually get an appointment, not only do you turn up to find it's with a Nurse Practitioner or a Paramedic (who are fantastic but can't prescribe, so you'll need to come back and see a Doctor!) but it's so far in advance (generally I've found about 4 - 5 weeks!) that I've been left sincerely hoping that nothing happens in the meantime. The Doctors, Nurses, Paramedics and all medical staff are all fantastic and generally very caring when you do eventually get to see them but the lead-time and ability to book an appointment really needs to improve.

Thank you for taking the time to review our practice. We value all patient feedback & will share this with the team. To try and improve access for urgent and new problems we have developed an on the day team. The team consists of a 2 x paramedics, advanced nurse practitioner and practice nurse. The duty GP provides oversight and supervision as required. There are members of the On the day team who can prescribe. Regrettably we can't comment on individual circumstances online but please contact the practice at framlingham.medicalpractice@nhs.net to discuss further if required.

Review titled Not sure what's happened
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 August 2023
I moved to Framlingham 5 years ago and was initially very impressed with the surgery. I was always able to get an appointment with a doctor and could even book to see one online. However in the last couple of years this is no longer the case. I now have no idea how to actually see a doctor. If you ring up for an appointment on the day you are given one with a paramedic (who is good and kind, but not a doctor). You can not book appointments in advance. How do you see a doctor?! I have been prescribed medication over the phone with no examination and renewed it online without any review - despite it only supposed to be used with medical supervision. Where are the doctors?

Review titled Not equipped to handle the community demands
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Annabel Britcliffe - Posted on 06 June 2023
I cannot complain about the staff or quality of care, that myself and my family have received at Framlingham doctors surgery. However, the surgery is clearly under equipped to deal with the number of patients in the local and wider community who are patients of the surgery. Wait times for the phone to be answered are regularly 30 minutes plus, despite being number one in the queue. There are rarely any appointments available, unless you want to go to out of hours GP or Emergency on the day, I’ve never been able to see my own doctor. Basic needs such a contraception care are failing, with the advice to go to Ipswich. Clearly this surgery needs an input of resources to obtain the correct number of staff for the community it serves.
