Patient Experience Summary

Patients consistently praise the clinical care and professionalism demonstrated across the practice, with many highlighting the attentiveness and compassion shown during consultations. Reception and administrative staff receive particular recognition for their courtesy, helpfulness, and willingness to assist with queries and bookings. However, appointment access presents a mixed picture, with some patients reporting straightforward booking experiences and prompt availability, whilst others describe sustained difficulties securing appointments, challenges navigating the phone system, and frustration with gatekeeping practices. Communication gaps have emerged as a concern, including delayed test result notifications, inconsistent information provided by different staff members, and unclear guidance on procedures. A small number of patients have raised concerns about the quality of individual clinical encounters and the responsiveness to their health concerns.

The practice environment is generally described as welcoming and professional, with patients appreciating the continuity of care when seeing regular clinicians. Many patients who have transferred from other practices report a marked improvement in their experience. Operational challenges appear to centre on appointment scheduling processes, telephone accessibility, and consistency in how information is communicated to patients. Whilst the majority of feedback reflects satisfaction with the standard of care and team conduct, the recurring themes around appointment access and communication suggest these areas warrant attention to ensure a consistently positive experience for all patients.

Staff make the journey worthwhile for me

I consistently receive excellent care when visiting the main practice and the branch location. The team members are outstanding and despite having relocated and needing to travel by public transport to attend appointments, I remain committed to continuing with this practice rather than switching to a more local alternative. Appointments are prompt and I am seen efficiently by clinical staff who demonstrate professionalism throughout. I would strongly encourage anyone seeking quality healthcare to consider this practice. The service is exceptional.

Receptionists and staff genuinely seemed to care

The entire team, from front desk staff to clinical professionals, have provided excellent care during our time as patients. They have consistently supported my family members with attentiveness and professionalism. Accessing appointments has never been difficult, the consultations are comprehensive, and there is a genuine sense of commitment to patient wellbeing. We have recently relocated to another region and are disappointed because we believe it will be challenging to find a practice that matches the standard of care we have experienced here.

Helpful receptionists made registration smooth

I have recently joined this practice and have found them to be absolutely excellent so far. They have been very helpful with the online platform, booking appointments and managing my prescriptions. It has been a great experience overall. The reception team deserves particular praise for their outstanding service, and other GP surgeries could certainly learn from their approach to patient care at the front desk.

Professional staff made us feel safe and cared for

We as a family have always received a very professional service from all members of staff. I would like to personally thank the nurse practitioner for the care, compassion, time and patience provided during my husband's recent appointment. We normally see the same doctors who are consistently caring and compassionate, and it is a privilege to know that we are in very safe hands at this practice and to benefit from the service we receive within the NHS.

Appointments available and actually listened to

Relocated to this practice in the autumn after encountering dismissive and unsatisfactory care elsewhere, and I have found my consultations to be worthwhile and my concerns genuinely heard and taken seriously. My health matters are recorded comprehensively and clinical staff follow through on their commitments to contact me. Appointments are readily accessible with minimal telephone queue times, and the team makes efforts to arrange suitable appointment slots that work with my availability. I have had a positive experience thus far and hope this standard continues.

Dismissed concerns and poor listening skills

I found the appointment quite disappointing. The clinician appeared disengaged and seemed to rely heavily on online searches rather than providing direct assessment. My additional health concerns were not adequately addressed, and I was simply told to book a follow-up visit. I felt frustrated by the lack of thorough attention to my needs. The overall experience left me questioning the quality of care at this practice.

Friendly reception made me feel welcome

I recently relocated to the area and have been impressed by the care I've received. The team here are excellent and conduct themselves in a highly professional manner. Having spent over three decades at my previous practice, I was surprised to discover how much better my experience has been since moving. I'm pleased I took the time to investigate my options, and I believe this practice stands out as one of the finest in the region. I look forward to continuing with them.

Struggling to book appointments and get through

You may find it difficult to access the practice as the opening hours listed online do not always reflect when the surgery is actually available, particularly on certain days of the week. If you are unable to contact the practice at the earliest opportunity, you may struggle to secure an appointment. The appointment process can feel more like an interview than a consultation, as patients may experience pressure to justify their health concerns.

Quick appointments for my son this week

They managed to see my child on both occasions when I needed to bring him in over the past week, and each time we were seen within thirty minutes. I don't typically leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my appreciation on this occasion. Thank you to everyone involved.

Receptionist was genuinely helpful and polite

This surgery demonstrates good practice standards in comparison to my previous medical provider. The reception staff were notably helpful and courteous, which was a pleasant change from my earlier experiences. The clinical staff provided first-class care, though like many healthcare professionals currently, they appear to be managing considerable workloads during challenging circumstances.
