Review titled Practice has gone downhill
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 February 2024
I've been a patient for ten years and the decline of this practice has been sad to see, but it is now absolutely terrible. I've had issues with prescriptions being rejected for no reason, rude receptionists, appointments being made at the wrong surgery, unbelievable waiting times on the phone and after a certain length of time you get cutoff, no permanent GPs so no continuity of care....the list is endless. Today I had an appointment with the nurse at 8.40am. After waiting 25 minutes, I queried how long I was going to be waiting only to be told the nurse hadn't even arrived for work yet. Unbelievable! I'll be changing doctors asap. I'd advise anyone to think twice before registering.

Review titled Good but Short Staffed
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 February 2024
There was only one member of staff on reception so we had to wait for someone to leave before we could get into the building. We also had to let other people in as the receptionist was not at the desk. There should be at least two people working to keep reception covered. Other than that the service was very good

Review titled Terrible receptionist
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 January 2024
Had 2 different appointments booked with nurses at Bury branch, receptionist was told this upon arrival and still managed to not book us in for 2nd appointment, meaning we sat there for 25mins waiting. When asked about delay receptionist tried to blame me for her error. Having to now attend the radcliffe branch for said appointment Extremely inconvenient and a terrible experience. Also messed up plans that were made for the rest of the evening !

Today, the 1st of December I had an appointment at 10 past 1, when arrived on my mobility scooter the receptionist didn’t even bother to stand up to hear each other.. she was only sitting behind her desk and the glass window and was not helpful at any point!

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to see that you had a bad experience with the practice. Our reception desks are quite high and I appreciate that the receptionist would not be able to communicate with you effectively if you were on your mobility scooter. I will speak to all receptionists to remind them of the importance of meeting patient needs, in particular those who struggle to communicate over the desk.

Review titled Avoid
Rated 1 star out of 5

MyGP only accessible for 2 hours a day. Left a request and it wasn't looked at for 3 days. Then spent hours trying to get through on the phone. Not sure what's happened at this practice because it used to be good. I'd avoid joining.

Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry you have had issues with Ask My GP. We have staff logging into this system each day so requests should not be taking 3 days to be actioned. Please contact the Practice and ask to speak with the Practice Manager so that I can look into this for you. Our telephone lines are very busy between 8am and 10am so if your query is non-urgent we ask that you call us between 10am and 6.30pm. I am sorry that you have struggled to get through to us. We constantly review data from our telephone system and amend staffing where appropriate.

Review titled Poor practice
Rated 1 star out of 5

Had appointment for smear test booked for months. Today received call cancelling. Can't have appointment on days I'm off work. Nurse doesn't work Fridays. No appointments before work. Offered appointment at the end of the day which I refused as need a bath before attending. Absolutely no use to working people.

Thank you for your recent review left on the website, Please accept our apologies for cancelling the appointment. Unfortunately staff are off sick from time to time which is unavoidable. We have also had a number of staff who have tested positive for COVID. The practice currently has 2 practice nurses one of which is an agency staff member which we have brought in to support the practice as one of our Nurses is currently away from the practice. Our other Nurse works 32hrs per week and her day off is on a Friday. We also have a new ANP at the practice who is additional to the Nursing team who works 2 days a week. In the past we have been requested to offer later appointments for ladies who are working as most do prefer to attend later in the day. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Regards Miss Sharon Smith Practice Manager

Review titled Big improvements
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Denise - Posted on 21 September 2023
I last left a review in May and this was a negative review and mainly about getting through to the practice. I have recently had a few calls and appointments with rock healthcare and can only say that there seems to be a big improvement, no problem getting through, fairly quick waiting in the queue and pleasant staff ( to which I have never had a complaint about). I've also had no problem getting appointments recently. Well done to the manager, who has obviously taken lots of comments on board and tried to address the issues. Thank you to her and her staff because it can't be easy.

Review titled Communication awful
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 September 2023
2 months of repeat prescriptions being rejected but nobody advises you so left without medication. Receptionist books you in for review, wait all morning but receive no phone call. Phone surgery and 30 minutes to get through and told no review booked. Prescription request then sent to your nominated chemist but again nobody tells you. This used to he a really good GP surgery and I know GPs are under pressure but there's no excuse for the constant problems in getting regular medication or appointments not being booked when you're told they have been.

Thank you for your review left on the website, We do now have a new team of pharmacists in the practice who have clinics running each day. They are also responsible for the processing of the prescriptions for patients.
