Patient Experience Summary

Feedback reflects a mixed experience across vaccination services and routine appointments. Many patients praised the efficiency of vaccination clinics, with streamlined processes, minimal waiting times, and courteous staff creating positive interactions. Reception experience and booking for vaccination appointments were frequently highlighted as smooth and well-organised. However, significant concerns emerged regarding access to routine services, particularly telephone availability and appointment booking for non-vaccination needs. Several patients reported difficulty reaching the practice by phone, complicated booking processes, and appointment cancellations without adequate notice or communication. Issues with prescription management and lack of continuity of care were also noted, with one patient describing poor responsiveness when attempting to schedule care for a dependent family member. Communication gaps appeared across multiple feedback points, including duplicate contact attempts and unclear next steps following online inquiries. While vaccination delivery demonstrated operational excellence with friendly, professional staff and efficient processing, the broader appointment booking experience and access to telephone lines presented barriers that contrasted sharply with the positive vaccination clinic feedback.

The practice appears to perform well in structured, high-volume vaccination events but faces challenges in routine appointment access and communication consistency. Patients receiving vaccination services reported professional care and welcoming interactions, yet those seeking standard GP appointments encountered obstacles in both booking and reaching the practice. These disparities suggest operational strengths in specific service areas that could be extended to improve the overall booking experience and telephone responsiveness for all patient needs.

Surgery delay left us soaked in rain

The medical facility opened late, causing patients to wait outdoors in heavy, pouring rain. Despite the initial delay, the vaccination and nursing care were excellent and precisely what I expected.

Crowded and chaotic boarding process

Felt like I was being herded through a crowded, impersonal space with little regard for individual experience or comfort.

Cancelled appointment left mum stranded

I'm writing this review on my parents' behalf. My mum was directed by her pharmacist to schedule a medical consultation due to critically high blood pressure. She arranged an appointment, only to have it abruptly cancelled by the practice manager—with no courtesy call or text message, just a letter that arrived after she had already traveled to the GP surgery, where she was casually informed, "We cancelled your appointment"! Given her role as full-time caregiver for my Dad, who is housebound with dementia, she cannot freely come and go. She has since avoided making another appointment, as it typically takes hours to get through on the phone just to manage my dad's prescriptions, which this surgery consistently mishandles. Despite being informed that my Dad is housebound, they continue to send letters and appointment requests demanding his physical presence! When my mum needs medical assistance for my Dad, she cannot reach the surgery and typically resorts to calling 111, which is invariably more helpful than this practice. When my dad was discharged from hospital over two years ago, no one from the surgery followed up, despite the hospital's assurances they would do so. They remain persistently challenging to interact with and continually make errors with prescriptions.

Frustrating morning at closed clinic door

Unexpectedly shuttered, leaving patients stranded. A gentleman who traveled from Low Edges, myself coming from Meersbrook on behalf of my aging mother, and additional individuals were left waiting outside. No explanation via answering machine or posted notice. I'm composing this review while endlessly waiting for someone at the clinic to pick up the phone. I've been trapped listening to their hold music for an exasperating 1 hour and 24 minutes.
