Review titled Desperate
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Helen Turner - Posted on 30 May 2025
I’ve still not actually been able to see a doctor despite feeling very poorly. I have had bliss taken but they were not what I had requested and I have had to rebook for more to be taken. This was a satisfactory appointment but I really do need to see an actual doctor and this seems to be impossible to do,

Review titled Far too hard to get GP service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 May 2025
A hospital consultant told me to contact my GP if my issue didn't improve so I could be referred again, and some months later I am struggling to do that. I took time off work twice to phone at 8am plus be around to receive any call back or texts (as I have no phone coverage during most working hours). On both occasions I was apparently too late when I got to the front of the queue and told to phone again on another day. After arranging more time off I changed approach and used the online request as I could prepare some text beforehand. I did this and received a confirmation email that the request had been received at 08:19 on the 21st May. There was a message when I submitted the request saying it can be several days for a reply but now 5 working days later and the request is still 'In progress' and I've not received any contact from the surgery by any means. I wonder if this is still in progress, overlooked, or perhaps they're expecting me to submit again. I cannot keep taking time off on the hope I may get some service by another call or online request.

Review titled Confused and disappointed
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Judith McGlead - Posted on 21 May 2025
I had a message asking me if I wanted to have a prescription for Statins . It was out of the blue and I had no idea what it was about . I also checked my recent test results after an age 70 health check , I don’t understand the results and also one of the responses I’d given to a question was recorded incorrectly. I had told the nurse I saw I was feeling very stressed due to family reasons and this has added to it . I tried to phone the surgery, was put in a long queue and although answered by a lovely very sympathetic lady was told to go on line to make an appointment to discuss this . I have since had a message saying I will get a response but it could be in a few days time ! I can honestly say I never remember trying to get some advice ever being this complicated and I honestly don’t think I am qualified to to say yes or no to whether I need statins or not .

Review titled Good reception staff . But GPS see patient shy
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Lester Hoare - Posted on 29 May 2025
Just seems impossible to see a doctor anymore .have asked to see someone and palmed off to a pharmacy call log. Think I need a full examination and full health check. As my blood pressure is high and with tablets doesn’t seem to be coming down. Now my ankles and legs swelled with the medication . And still doctor wont see me. Happy to send a text not even a call to say book another blood test . Now if you for a minute cared and checked you would see I am in for one Wednesday. My sister is a nurse and she contacted a consultant and is shocked you have said to stop tablets completely and not to just reduce them back to 5mg and add another medication or change medication completely until blood test results. Im worried there is something more underlying than just high blood pressure going on . Sometimes just see people and look at the person and see if there are other symptoms going on that are visible before just pieing people off with drugs. See people , take some due care

Unfortunately the appointment took over a month to be booked after doing an econsult as classed as not urgent. The GP was understanding thorough and showed empathy.

Review titled Good practice
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Phillip Lowe - Posted on 21 May 2025
I had a question about my blood results and sought further answers. In honesty it wasn’t easy because generally you have seek another doctors appointment. There needs to be some access to raised questions about a result/review given some anomalies. Through a visit to reception a message was sent to the doctor concerned and I happily received an with a further test suggested. I still have to have my hospital scan scheduled for the 27th, hopefully this will also have answers.
