Review titled It's about Anima website
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 March 2024
How NHS has decided to run Anima website for GPs and patients is not helpful. My GP centre is most of the time fully booked. GPs on 111 emergency are very attentive but some issues need to be seen by a doctor. Requesting a simple query on Anima link is not convenient and it's only doable when GP surgery has space for appointments. Wasting time to go back and check another day. Why it can't be available to send a request any time and then it's acceptable to receive appointments when it's available by GP. The way Anima is running is not convenient for patients.

Review titled Very good practice
by Margaret Morgan - Posted on 14 February 2024
We had an issue with a repeat prescription, having gone to collect, found was out of stock. This medication is ongoing and must be taken twice daily without stopping. I was really worried as the last of our supply had been used. I rang the surgery a number of times trying to sort it out . I can only say, the receptionists (different ones each time) were all courteous, polite and did their utmost to help, without any irritation at my persistence. The surgery pharmacist was equally obliging and did her best to help. By the evening, we had spoken with a doctor, who prescribed an alternative, available dose and we were able to collect it that evening. As it was an emergency supply I rang back the next day to speak with a doctor about further supplies. Again, courteous and helpful, I was given a telephone appt. The doctor rang back, discussed the drug and the doses and a plan moving forward. Really pleased with the care we recieved.

Review titled Excellent service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Ms Chris Gothard - Posted on 09 May 2023
-Didn't wait long to get through to reception - helpful to have queue countdown - receptionist efficient, empathic, kind - prompt GP phone consultation - face to face appointment within a few hours - seen before my appointment time - GP was excellent - her interpersonal skills, knowledge, understanding, reassurance, examination - told to call again if still worried/not getting better. At a time of great pressure and stress on NHS, this is exceptional service.

Review titled No confidence
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 28 March 2023
My mother recently had a stroke had to call to request doc follow up appointment as not booked from hospital notes. Doc then said would make another appointment for 2 weeks later none made and now cant get one for another 2 weeks! Only seem to do calls on a wed pills missed off prescription and urgent request for missing pills took 4 days. Doc says all the right things but no action taken no confidence or trust that things will happen sadly.

Review titled Rude Unhelpful Receptionists
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Deborah - Posted on 27 February 2023
I waited over 10 minutes this morning for the receptionist to deal with the person in front of me so I politely said “excuse me please, is there anyone else who can help me “ she scowled at me and said No. when it was my turn I requested a home visit for my husband, she kept asking me what’s happened? My husband is lying in a hospital bed at home with a life limiting illness and I told her that he looks very poorly. Once again she said “what’s happened “ I tried to explain to her that nothing has happened, he just looks very unwell. She then turned to another member of staff and told her that I’ve been really rude. If you’re looking for a practice that has receptionists who have a little compassion steer well clear of this place. I left there feeling very upset as my poor husband looks so ill and all I wanted was to request a home visit but it was more like the Spanish Inquisition, I hope that the receptionist who dealt with me this morning finds another job that she’s more suited to.

Review titled A very uncaring surgery
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 November 2022
My husband was let down badly by this surgery yesterday which resulted in him suffering a nasty fall on to concrete. I was promised a call back 3 times but nobody bothered. I then called in at the surgery to find out why no one would help or call me and was assured that the practice manager would look into this and call me the next day. Needless to say, nobody bothered to call me again. I wouldn’t recommend this surgery to my worst enemy. They couldn’t care less about their vulnerable patients.

Review titled The receptionists here are excellent
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Esther Card - Posted on 30 July 2022
I went to the doctors to pick up my prescription. An error meant it wasn't where it was supposed to be so I had to wait. The receptionist was very helpful and went out of her way to make sure I got my scrip. Especially when it turned out my medication wasn't available and I had to come back an ask for an alternative. She made sure I got a phone consult and I was able to collect my alternative meds that afternoon!
