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.

Online booking tool made the whole process smooth

I've previously had concerns about this practice, so I felt it was important to acknowledge when things went well. I submitted a request through the online portal and received a response from a clinician within a week, who recommended I undergo imaging. Two working days after that, I was contacted by the imaging service with an appointment available the following day. I had my results back within 24 hours. The service was excellent. I couldn't have received faster care through private healthcare. I'm very grateful to the practice for this experience, which has been genuinely positive for me.

Medication ordering system needs improvement

Overall, this is a commendable practice with good availability and excellent quality of care provided. The main issue preventing a full five-star rating is that certain medications cannot be requested through the online system, requiring email submissions instead. This has resulted in multiple instances of having to send repeated requests, which has led to medication shortages causing considerable stress and discomfort when essential long-term medications have been unavailable. I would like to acknowledge that the staff member handling medication reviews has been outstanding, demonstrating extensive knowledge and professionalism, and the reception staff are consistently courteous and accommodating.

Thank you for getting in touch and pleased to hear about your overall positive experience. Regarding the issue you raised around medication, can we suggest that you contact either our Practice Manager or Operations Manager who would be happy to look into this in more detail for you. Thanks again for your feedback.

Long waits but staff really listen

Excellent team across the board, with healthcare professionals who are highly skilled and genuinely attentive to individual needs and circumstances. The main challenge is occasionally experiencing delays when trying to secure an appointment, which can involve a lengthy waiting period.

Many thanks for your review and positive feedback. Regarding appointment wait times, we (like many other GP Practices) are absolutely aware of the issues around access - but rest assured we are doing our best in difficult times for the NHS, and are constantly looking at ways to improve our appointment systems. Thanks again for your feedback.

Impossible to reach by phone

I attempted to contact the practice on multiple occasions and experienced persistent difficulties reaching them, with calls either disconnecting or resulting in continuous engaged tones, making it challenging to get through when assistance was needed.

Really sorry to hear about your experience. We are aware of issues regarding our phone system and are scheduled to have a whole new phone system installed in the very near future. This should hopefully prevent further issues like this going forward. We'd be grateful if you could contact the Practice directly to let us know when you were having issues so they can be logged with our system provider. Many thanks.
