Patient Experience Summary

Feedback on this practice reflects a mixed picture with significant contrasts in patient experience. Appointment access remains a persistent challenge, with many patients reporting difficulty reaching the practice by phone at opening times, frequently engaged lines, and limited availability. Reception experience varies considerably, with some patients describing staff as unwelcoming and dismissive, whilst others praise their helpfulness and professionalism.

The introduction of an online appointment booking system has been welcomed by many as a marked improvement over traditional phone-based methods, offering faster response times and reduced waiting periods. Clinical care receives generally positive feedback, with patients noting attentive clinicians who listen carefully and demonstrate genuine concern, though some have raised concerns about assessment quality and clinical decision-making. Communication channels and responsiveness have improved for those using the online system, though gaps remain for patients preferring or requiring telephone contact. The practice appears to operate under resource constraints, with some patients noting concerns about staffing levels relative to patient demand.

Online booking made appointments much easier

A significantly improved experience compared to the traditional method of calling at 8am to book an appointment. The rapid response and prompt answers provided are incredibly time-saving, particularly when the practice and patients have busy schedules. When an appointment is needed, availability is arranged remarkably quickly. I find this service much more convenient as the digital platform is more user-friendly. Ordering medications through the system is also more straightforward. All the staff members encountered over the past couple of months have been excellent and very supportive. The assistance provided by the team has been invaluable during challenging periods, making difficult circumstances considerably more manageable.

Impossible to book appointments through their system

Inadequate Standard of Care - After being a patient at this practice for over ten years, I have felt compelled to access primary care elsewhere. The practice appears to operate with insufficient clinical staff relative to its patient population, which undermines its ability to deliver effective care. There is considerable staff turnover, making it unlikely to see the same clinician on repeat visits. Accessing appointments has become increasingly difficult, with the booking system having changed from telephone availability at flexible times, to a restricted telephone window, and now to an online form submission process with no guarantee of being seen. While the physical premises are adequate, I feel the management and clinical team lack the necessary competence and commitment to patient care.

New booking system makes appointments easier

Really pleased with the updated appointment system. It's straightforward to navigate and I've consistently received a callback followed by a confirmed booking. This approach is far more convenient than attempting to reach the practice by telephone. Excellent improvement 👏

Staff responded quickly when I struggled to breathe

I came to the surgery experiencing breathing difficulties and required my medications to be adjusted. After spending a brief period completing my request form, a member of staff approached me, took me to a consultation room, and provided assistance to help ease my breathing. Within twenty minutes, I was able to arrange an appointment with a clinician for a review and medication adjustment. I am very grateful to all the staff members for their help.

Online booking system actually works well

I had reservations about the new online appointment system and expected it to be frustrating, but I was genuinely impressed by how well it functioned. The process was straightforward—I was able to describe my symptoms and concerns, submit the information with a single click, and received a response within minutes from a healthcare professional. An appointment was arranged for early in the following week, and the clinician I saw was attentive, supportive, and provided excellent care. If you're hesitant about using the online booking method, I'd encourage you to give it a go. It really does work effectively.

Online booking got me seen within the hour

I recently used the online appointment booking system. While this approach may not suit everyone, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a response within just a few minutes of submitting my request, with an appointment offered an hour afterwards. This was during the afternoon for a routine matter. The practice still maintains traditional telephone booking options and provides guidance for completing the online form. If this represents the direction healthcare appointments are heading, I'm very much in favour. I was genuinely impressed with the efficiency and responsiveness.

Online booking system makes appointments harder

I have been a patient at this practice for many decades and have noticed a significant decline over time. The practice has deteriorated considerably. Obtaining an appointment has become increasingly difficult, and the current online booking and assessment system feels impractical and does not prioritize patient needs. The procedures that have been implemented appear to be designed more for staff convenience than to benefit patients.
