When one calls the GP practice an option to go direct to pharmacy re prescriptions is very helpful.i was enabled to amend a prescription to enable my need for a specific generic brand.

Review titled Questions
Rated 1 star out of 5

We hit a brick wall many times trying to get any Dr appointment so we have asked to speak to a practice manager many times now .They're never available. No one has ever got back to us. We're not sure messages get through. We get put through to reception supervisors or reception managers . This tells us that there is a ladder of NHS hierarchy more akin to hospital settings - shouldn't exist in a GP practice. We have young kids and it's very hard/ impossible even trying to get a duty appt. There's no system of priority there's no separate telephone option ( like NHS 111). Always told young children don't take priority when they are meant to. 3 times my kids have ended up admitted to hospital which was preventable and very distressing. We'd like that system changed immediately but there's no managers to talk to and crucially no continuity of GP . These experiences then sour relationships. So who is taking responsibility? Add to that I have a serious illness that's not being monitored as I can't get any routine appointment. Despite saying its possible to ask to see someone I have been given a stream of different excuses as to why not possible. For over 6 months. It's disingenuous to say ring the practice manager when patients are told they can't . And emails trying to report problems are totally ignored. We would be too concerned to raise a formal complaint because it shouldn't be the culture that we as patients are pushed down that road .Extremely stressful to do so. Time better spent facing up to problems and improving communication.

Review titled Exceptional service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

The doctor was welcoming, professional, and engaged our family in my son's care plan. The e-consult at the GP practice was efficient, allowing us a same-day face-to-face consult and the prescription was ready to be collected at the pharmacy right after consultation. Highly recommend for their excellent care and speedy process!

Review titled After work appointment
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 15 January 2024
I called on Monday at about 10am, the doctor called back at 3pm and was able to see me at 6:10pm, after I finished work. Doctor took sample, prescribed necessary medication, and also a referral to rntne which will contact me to make an appointment for further services, sincerely appreciate the doctor for seeing me so late and doing everything within about 15 minutes!

Review titled Who decides if an appointment is given?
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Mohammad - Posted on 11 January 2024
We aren't going to complain because we are scared to and the stress of trying to deal with staff here is already too high and kindness is missing for us. My mother is elderly, has cancer so the GP should see her. She is very frail. Staff say she can't have a home visit when very ill because they don't have capacity. Staff tell us to call an ambulance instead. This is not right and staff are making Dr decisions if they decide on health care. We can't even speak with a GP so why is this. You should be able to speak with your GP. She has tried to make an appointment but stood in the queue for 15 minutes when very ill and desk staff said 'there are no appointments '. Her English is slow but she's also very ill. They had no time for her but did for the others in the queue. It seems to us reception staff are making decisions that stop patients like my mother using NHS GPs and they should be kinder. We feel the same as others here who have bad experience

Review titled Great practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by James Layland - Posted on 22 January 2024
I’ve written a good review before - but, once again, I was impressed by your service today. The chap on reception was courteous, efficient and friendly. I had a response to my consultation request within 5 minutes! The doctor who called me back was kind, sympathetic to my request, and had good advice. Thank you.
