Patient Experience Summary

Patients consistently report positive experiences with clinical care, noting that healthcare professionals demonstrate attentive listening, thorough assessments, and compassionate approaches to treatment. The practice receives particular praise for prompt appointment access, with many patients able to secure same-day or next-day consultations. Reception teams are frequently commended for courtesy and helpfulness, and continuity of care with familiar clinicians is valued by long-term patients.

However, several service challenges emerge across the feedback. Telephone access presents a significant barrier, with patients reporting persistent difficulties reaching the practice, particularly during afternoon hours, with extended wait times and unanswered calls. The medication request system has limitations, requiring email submissions for certain medications and leading to repeated requests and supply issues. Additionally, concerns about reception area confidentiality have been raised, as the physical layout allows private conversations to be overheard.

Despite these operational challenges, the majority of feedback reflects satisfaction with the quality of clinical care, the accessibility of services when appointments are secured, and the supportive manner of staff. Patients appreciate the availability of on-site pharmacy and specialist services, and many express confidence in the practice's ability to address their healthcare needs.

We are a large training Practice who host a number of different students and trainees, and doing this is crucial to help train the next generation of clinical staff which will benefit us all!

Clean waiting room and staff who listen well

I've consistently found the team at the practice to be helpful and thorough in their approach. Access to triage calls and appointments has always been straightforward. The waiting area is clean and provides plenty of space. I was recently seen by two clinicians who were both excellent and demonstrated a genuine commitment to supporting me. They conducted assessments in the way I had hoped for, and through attentive listening and clear explanations of their findings, I felt understood and confident that I was receiving the appropriate care and guidance I required.

Phone lines need improvement urgently

I have relocated and no longer use this practice. However, when I did attempt to contact them by telephone, I found it extremely difficult to get through. The practice would benefit from implementing a more efficient communication system.

Long waits and poor privacy at reception desk

The reception area layout places the desk in close proximity to the waiting room, which means private conversations can be overheard by other patients, raising concerns about confidentiality. Additionally, there are frequently extended delays when attempting to reach the practice by phone, particularly during afternoon hours, with wait times often extending between 30 to 60 minutes.

Many thanks for getting in touch. This will absolutely be fed back regarding where people stand in the waiting room. We are limited with space, but will do what we can to improve things. Also acknowledge what can be long wait times on the phone, however this does sound very long. Would be grateful if you could get in touch with when you were phoning, so we can cross check that with other calls coming in that day. However please be rest assured our back office team are working incredibly hard (along with all members of staff at our very busy Practice), and they never let a ‘ringing phone ring’. May we also suggest you could consider joining our Patient Participation Group (PPG)? We are very lucky to have such an excellent group of motivated patients who are keen to help make our Practice something we can all be proud of. If you feel able to contribute towards this, then do please get in touch with the Practice. Thanks again

Doctors who actually listen and care

I really want to commend the female clinicians at this practice. They genuinely take time to listen and make me feel heard during my visits. I've experienced situations at other surgeries where I felt my concerns weren't properly acknowledged or where responses seemed delayed. Since becoming a patient here, I've felt much more supported and valued. Thank you for the excellent care and please continue with this approach ☺️

Convenient having everything under one roof

I've been attending this practice for approximately ten years. The clinical staff have consistently demonstrated thoroughness in their care and evaluations, and I'm particularly grateful for the recent assistance provided by the reception team and one of the practitioners. The convenience of having a pharmacy and various specialist services including nursing, midwifery, and physiotherapy available on-site is a significant advantage.

This is wonderful to hear - and brilliant that you’ve had such positive experiences with various members of the team. We will be sure to pass your feedback on to Dr Salter. Whilst we as a Practice are not directly affiliated with the other services you mentioned (including the Boots pharmacy), it is indeed very convenient to have a pharmacy within Canalside Healthcare Centre. Thanks again for getting in touch.
