Patient feedback reflects a predominantly positive experience across most service areas. Patients consistently praise the courtesy, respect, and compassionate approach demonstrated by clinical and reception staff. Appointment availability is frequently highlighted as accessible, with many reporting same-day or prompt booking. Communication and listening skills are noted as strengths, with patients feeling heard and supported during consultations. The care experience is generally described as well-organised, with clear advance communication and appointments running to schedule.
However, several service challenges emerge across the feedback. Medication access presents a significant barrier for some patients, with reports of procedural obstacles and reluctance to prescribe in line with specialist recommendations. Referral processing delays have impacted patient outcomes, with one referral reportedly unprocessed for approximately a year. The online appointment booking and form systems receive consistent criticism for poor usability and design inefficiency. Some patients report insufficient consultation time and dismissive communication from certain clinicians, which discourages future engagement with the service.
Additional concerns include gaps in staff training around customer service and communication skills, particularly within reception and administrative teams. System-related issues such as difficulty with patient name management and data entry problems in online systems suggest operational areas requiring attention. Despite these challenges, the majority of patients express satisfaction with the practice's responsiveness and professional standards.

Staff listen and act on feedback constructively
I have been a patient at this practice for many decades. Throughout this extended period, there have been various developments, yet I have consistently found the clinical staff and reception team to be thoroughly professional. What stands out is their approachable nature—they genuinely engage with feedback, including constructive criticism, and demonstrate openness to evolving their practices. This willingness to adapt is a commendable quality, as the underlying aim is continuous improvement. While change is not always straightforward, the team manages to gain support through transparent and effective dialogue. Having attended appointments in the local area recently, I can only express appreciation for all the individuals I have interacted with over the past several months. Thank you.

Physiotherapist was dismissive and unkind
I was quite disappointed with my recent appointment. The healthcare professional's manner was not what I had hoped for, and I found the interaction upsetting. I'm planning to discuss my experience with my GP. The appointment was difficult for me during what has been a challenging time in my life, and I'm grateful for the support of my family who depend on me.

Reception could improve their customer care approach
The clinical nursing team provides excellent care, and the medical practitioners are supportive when appointments are available. However, the reception and administrative staff would benefit from additional training in customer service and communication skills.
