Feedback reflects a mixed experience with significant operational challenges alongside strong clinical performance. Appointment availability emerges as the most persistent concern, with patients reporting difficulty securing advance bookings, extended telephone queue times, and reliance on walk-in services. Phone access presents particular difficulties, with callers experiencing waits of several hours and inconsistent responsiveness. Prescription processing has also generated frustration, with delays and administrative errors reported. Reception staff interactions have been variable, with some patients noting courtesy concerns, though others have experienced supportive and helpful service.
Where patients successfully access clinical care, feedback is notably positive. Healthcare professionals are consistently praised for expertise, compassion, courtesy and attentiveness. The online appointment system has received particular commendation when functioning effectively, enabling same-day or next-day access for some patients. Nursing and clinical staff demonstrate strong interpersonal skills and professional knowledge, with patients appreciating thorough explanations and reassurance.
The practice appears to operate with capable clinical teams delivering quality care, yet faces significant organisational challenges around appointment access, phone management and administrative efficiency. These access barriers appear to be the primary driver of patient dissatisfaction, particularly for those requiring regular contact or urgent appointments.

Poor!
Fast appointment booking but notes weren't reviewed
The appointment booking system functioned efficiently and I was pleased to receive an appointment promptly. However, it appeared that when I attended my consultation, the clinician had not reviewed my detailed written submission explaining the reason for my visit, which meant I needed to repeat the information I had already provided online. I was also disappointed to discover that the surgery had made a general referral to the neurology department at the hospital without specifically requesting the follow-up imaging scan that my privately-seen neurologist had recommended following an appointment in April. My neurologist had suggested a wait of approximately two months for this scan through the NHS, but I have now been waiting considerably longer than this timeframe. I remain concerned about this extended delay, particularly given my continuing symptoms and lack of progress, though I am grateful that the clinician has offered to contact the hospital to specifically request the imaging appointment and ensure the results are shared with my neurologist, whom I plan to consult privately again.

Quick response when health suddenly worsened
From the first day five years ago I have received excellent care from this surgery. The prompt response to a sudden change in my health went far beyond anything I could have hoped for. I would like to thank the reception team for their consistent kindness and support. The clinical staff have been particularly excellent in their approach to my care.

Quick response to urgent health concern
I submitted an online appointment request through the practice system and received a telephone call within 10 minutes to offer me an available slot within the hour. Upon arriving at the surgery, I was seen promptly by the nurse practitioner, who was very pleasant and professional. We had a comprehensive discussion about my symptoms, and my blood pressure and pulse were checked. It was determined that an ECG would be necessary, which was arranged quickly. A clinician was brought in to review the results, and it was decided that hospital assessment was required. An ambulance arrived within 10 minutes and transported me for additional investigations. The entire team demonstrated excellent care and efficiency throughout the process. I was contacted the following morning to check on my wellbeing. I was very satisfied with the standard of care provided by all involved.
