Review titled They are getting worse
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mark Pearson - Posted on 02 April 2024
Appointments by form now, to cut cost, you can wait up to two days before you get a reply. When you contact a doctor you want to see them that day.

Review titled Great service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 March 2024
The service I have personally received from this practice has been great. I filled out the online form and got a GP appointment the same morning. I then got an appointment with the nurse the morning after. Both nurses and GP have been helpful and I couldn’t fault the service I have been given.

Dear Angela, I recognise that difficulties in accessing the Practice can be extremely frustrating for our patients and I apologise unreservedly for any upset or inconvenience. The Practice are currently planning the launch of an updated booking system, that will allow patients to submit an online triage form, so that an appointment can be allocated as soon as possible. This in turn aims to free up the Practices telephone lines, whilst offering additional appointments online. Again, I am very sorry that you have been struggling to access our services. Kind regards, Patient Experience Team Modality Partnership

Review titled Continuously poor
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 December 2023
I’m am sure that I am not alone in experiencing poor quality service from Blakenall Practice. The appointments are a lottery system. The surgery takes no consideration to the working population. Our family were forced to attend this surgery, we were under the impression that the move was temporary during Covid. We would never have selected this surgery given its historic poor reputation within the area. When will patients be returning to Harden? I’d be very interested in learning more about their PCN Capacity & Access Improvement Plan. I’d like to know more about their Patient Participation Group so that I can give my honest feedback directly to the decision makers at Modality Partnership.

Review titled Great Nurses but where are GP’s
Rated 1 star out of 5
by MR Sheppard - Posted on 26 June 2023
Following tests and new diagnosis from neurological specialists I received a text to call surgery to make a non urgent appointment with a doctor. 12 days later despite calling every day I’m still unable to see or speak to a GP. Apparently appointments are always gone. Very bad medical service.

Review titled Useless GP surgery with Useless Staff
Rated 1 star out of 5

Huge delays in answering the phone even in a short queue waiting times are over a hour to be spoken to, only to be told there is nothing that can be done about your problem. No help is offered from this practice in the slightest and I would suggest that people look elsewhere for medical advice

Review titled Non urgent appt management
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Lynn T - Posted on 15 May 2023
For non urgent appts the 8 oclock call system does not work if you want to see a doctor. When asked about seeing a nurse the receptionist asked what for and when explained the appt was probably for bloods due to past anaemia, to be told the nurse can not take bloods without the patient seeing a GP first. Nurses have autonomy and advance nurse practitioners can write prescriptions and make a clinical decision to take bloods - Waste of a GP appt without the results of a simple test...........Also runs the risk of a non urgent then becoming urgent and further pressuring our urgent care systems

Got told my results aren’t urgent when they’re urgent to me. Told I would be called back in 2 weeks. Almost 2 months later and calling every day still no appointment or call back
