  4. Review titled Sit and wait

    Rated 4 stars out of 5

    by Norman - Posted on 16 December 2024

    Lucky enough to get a appointment this morning, but quickly spoke to receptionist about how sit and wait works, as a suggestion couldn’t you implement a number card system so everyone takes a card when they require sit and wait and know where they are in the queue instead of a ‘ free for all ‘ at 9.30.

    Thank you for you suggestion, our PPG and us have looked in to this and sadly this does not resolve the situation. The clinic does not open til 9:30 people are not checked in until then. Many thanks

    Thank you for your feedback, we are pleased to have been able to help you. I could only see you called us once on 6th December and got the appointment for today. If you wanted to contact practice manager to update her with you experience, as we try to look at all our patients experiences to help shape our service.

  6. Review titled Blood Test

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Ali - Posted on 25 September 2024

    There is a walk-in blood test service offered at the clinic, but there is a need for more capacity or extand staff work hours, particularly for diabetics, who must control their blood regularly on a regular basis. Walk-in service is available from 9 to 11. When I get free from my work, I get ready to get my blood test done. Arrived 10:15, waited for the technician for 15 minutes, and then was told that walk-ins were fully booked! I think '' need to serve the last patient untill 11'' so I hope the management team can resolve this issue/problem.

    Thank you for your feedback. As of October 1st, 2024, we have increased staffing capacity at the blood clinic. Based on patient input, we notified our patients via SMS last week, and I hope you received that message.

    Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry our clinic was cancelled at last minute due to staff sickness. We did put on our social media and on the doors of the building as soon as we were aware. I apologise for the de stress

  8. Review titled Awful practice

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Corina Iacob - Posted on 27 August 2024

    Been on the phone 30 minutes (in pain) to book an appointment with a doctor only to be told to call at 1pm as all doctors are working from home. What a joke, wish I knew while I was waiting, wouldn’t have wasted my time’s. Very disappointing.

  9. Review titled Dehumanising experience

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 11 July 2024

    I honestly feel it can not be easy to be a GP associate at Priory Gardens. My experience has felt like speaking a foreign language - just not being understood as a human being who is feeling vulnerable and seeking support from their registered health care provider. Somewhere in the script provided to the staff and the time allocated to speak to each caller (not patients or clients or people entitled to access a service), because its very business like - compassion and care was omitted. If the GP business managers response to my review is along the lines of 'when you called the service, we did this and this right, while you were wrong...', that's the sense I get from the response to previous reviews, please don't bother. This is mainly to reassure other callers that you are not alone. The practice needs to change its approach and respond with considered ways about how the patient experience can be improved. Overall Its abysmal. There have been one or two glimmers in my recent contact with the surgery on 10th and 11th July. I will be attending a sit and wait clinic tomorrow to pursue the saga of trying to speak to a GP who hopefully has actually taken the care and time to review my notes to provide informed advice for my ongoing care.

    I visited the surgery and saw a Dr in the sit and wait clinic on the 2nd July, he took his time, I never felt rushed. I discussed my issues and he understood. He was everso helpful and I'm so very grateful. Thank you
