Patient Experience Summary

Feedback across the reviews presents a mixed picture of the practice's service delivery. Many patients report positive experiences with the reception team's courtesy and supportiveness, straightforward appointment booking with good availability, and clinical staff who demonstrate expertise, compassion and respect. Patients value the practice's organisation, efficiency, and responsiveness in arranging referrals and prompt appointments. Several long-term patients express strong confidence in the continuity and quality of care received.

However, some concerns emerge regarding communication and responsiveness. Patients have reported delayed responses to clinical concerns, with one describing a week-long wait to address a medication issue. Another patient experienced difficulty reaching the practice through any communication channel. Additionally, there are observations about inconsistent appointment availability, with some patients noting longer waiting periods for non-vaccination services compared to vaccination appointments.

Overall, the practice demonstrates clinical competence and courtesy in many interactions, though improvements in communication responsiveness and consistent access to appointments for all service types would strengthen the patient experience.

Couldn't get through on the phone

Unable to reach the practice through any communication method. Extremely disappointing experience. It's important to remember that healthcare services exist to support the public who have contributed through their taxes. I feel this fundamental principle may have been overlooked. The approach seems to prioritise business operations over patient care. Very regrettable.

Long waits for routine doctor appointments

The practice seems eager to schedule vaccination appointments, though accessing care for other medical concerns involves considerably longer waiting periods. There appears to be a reliance on part-time clinical staff, which may contribute to appointment availability challenges. This pattern of service delivery appears consistent with broader healthcare system issues. The reviewer believes the NHS would benefit from structural changes rather than simply increased funding.

Didn't listen and wasted my time

The medical professionals at this practice do not seem to listen to what patients ask for and instead proceed with their own approach. It took well over a week to address my concern, which resulted in me making multiple unnecessary trips to the pharmacy only to find that my medication had not yet arrived. This has been a frustrating waste of my time and effort.
