  3. Review titled Covid injections chaos

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Arthur Kerr - Posted on 22 May 2023

    My appointment was at 0950, I was seen at 1030. Had to queue outside, had to cancel and reschedule a hospital appointment with my oncologist because I was not certain that I could get to the appointment. People in the queue Infront of me had appointments up to 1100 hrs. look if you see people coming too early tell them to wait in a separate area, its not hard to do, you do have other waiting areas

  4. Review titled Medium

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 19 May 2023

    Phoned at 8.30am, 22 in the queue held on for 1 hour 35 minutes then told there were no appointments. I told the person on the phone I was to have a face to face appointment as instructed by 2 orthopaedic consultants. All she would give me was a telephone appointment for the following day with a Doctor I had never seen before. The consultant is disgusted with this. I have been with this practice for nearly 60 years & it used to be an excellent practice but is far from it now. I lost my husband last year who had been with this practice from the day he was born (83 + years) & I am still waiting for them to contact me to see if I am Alright unlike a friend who has been contacted twice by her practice.

  6. Review titled Avoid this practice

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 13 March 2023

    The service is appalling. Phone calls go unanswered, you have to complete a online form where you are basically self diagnosed. The receptionist will blurt out private information. You can never get an appointment. They don't call back when they say they will. Really bad I will be moving to another practice. Do not recommend avoid.

  7. Review titled Terrible practice

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    The worst practice. Would not recommend to anybody, can’t make appointments in advance, say they will get in touch and don’t, say they will send you your child’s asthma appointment but don’t, it’s constantly chasing them up all the time, they make appointments for you and then book it for a different time. If you do manage to get an appointment, you bet you’re waiting minimum or 30 minutes for your appointment!

  8. Review titled Awful

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by B powton - Posted on 13 December 2022

    Having had bronchitis for 4 weeks, and constantly being told by friends that I should see a doctor, I rang the surgery to be told to ‘ring an ambulance’ . Friends thought it was funny, but I dont see anything funny in calling an ambulance for a case of bronchitis.

  9. Review titled Poor service for booking non urgent appointments

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 18 October 2022

    After receiving my 3 yearly cervical screening letter, I contacted the surgery only to have to wait over 40 mins to book a smear test that took all of 5 minutes to book. I appreciate the surgery is very busy but I do think that there should be a separate non urgent appointments booking system for services such as smear tests, childhood vaccinations etc. It's this kind of poor thought-out process or poor access to non urgent services that risk lives. Many women do not have the time to wait 40mins or more to book a smear test or even get time to go online to book via the online system therefore delaying or even not attending their smears resulting in possible risks to thier health. Generally the practice has been good for my family and I but this one issue needs looking into as am sure it would also avoid delays for those wanted to book in to see the GP/Nurse for ill health on that day or urgently.

  10. Review titled Poor initial consultation

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by raymond martin - Posted on 20 October 2022

    The consult just doesn’t work for most elderly most of us are not computer literate We are asked to self diagnose from multi choice questions if we ever get to that stage For me the E consult is a barrier to seeking medical help and there delaying diagnosis Doctors need to see patients face to face At least give us the choice of direct appointments This system is harming many elderly people The phone system is poor I tried to get a call back twice it just didn’t work Just saying you see critical cases urgently only works if the indications are very obvious due the delay in being able to see a doctor in the first place I thought the Nhs motto was do no harm Well that’s out the window with E consult The system is scaremongering if you self diagnose wrongly on a couple of questions referring you immediately to A&E This can be upsetting all because a doctor has not been seen immediately Surely the doctors don’t agree with this system Not impressed
