Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice. Clinical expertise and professional care are consistently praised, with patients noting the clinicians' knowledge, attentiveness, and genuine concern. Appointment availability is generally accessible, with many patients reporting straightforward booking and same-day availability. However, reception experience presents a significant concern, with multiple patients describing unhelpful, unwelcoming, or disengaged staff during phone interactions and in-person visits. Several patients experienced difficulties with the booking process, registration delays, and unclear communication during consultations.

Administrative processes emerge as a particular challenge, including complicated appointment booking procedures, registration applications that remain unresolved for extended periods, and issues with the online platform. Some patients reported rushed consultations with unclear communication, while others noted that phone line responsiveness could be improved. The practice environment is described as dated and would benefit from modernisation, though parking facilities are convenient.

Positive feedback emphasises the welcoming atmosphere created by clinical staff, their responsiveness to patient concerns, and the continuity of care provided. Several long-term patients express strong confidence in the service and appreciation for the reassurance offered. Access to medication refills and appointment availability are highlighted as strengths, though online systems and registration procedures require attention to improve the overall patient experience.

Reception staff listened and didn't rush through

This GP practice is, without question, truly exceptional. The clinical staff, nursing team, administrative personnel, and reception team demonstrate excellent communication and consistently go the extra mile to deliver outstanding care. Over the past year and a half, the healthcare support received here has made a significantly more positive difference than previous specialist consultations and hospital experiences, with notably improved care coordination and treatment planning. The team takes time to build genuine relationships with patients, ensures all concerns are thoroughly addressed, and avoids making anyone feel hurried or processed. This practice has restored my confidence in the NHS and I am genuinely grateful for the service provided.

Appointments available and doctors see you in person

After moving back from abroad and then relocating within the UK, I was initially disappointed with the healthcare experience compared to what I had become accustomed to overseas. However, upon registering with this practice, I found the service to be significantly better than expected. Appointments are easy to obtain and in-person consultations with clinicians are readily accessible when required. 5/5

Registration process left us completely in the dark

I would have given a lower rating if the system allowed it. How much time is needed to process a registration application? Several months have passed and we still haven't received any correspondence regarding whether the application has been accepted or rejected. It feels like an indirect way of indicating that we are not welcome.

Registration form didn't mention existing patient restrictions

Biased Practice. I completed the registration form on the website, which was quite lengthy, to register with the practice as I fall within the catchment area. However, the website does not clearly state any restrictions regarding patients already registered elsewhere in the local area, yet my registration application was declined. I would suggest updating the website information before patients complete the form to clarify which patient types the practice accepts and which it does not. This would prevent people from sharing sensitive information and spending time on an application that may not be successful. The practice describes itself as a small surgery with limited capacity, yet it continues to accept new patient applications while being selective about who it registers. This approach seems inconsistent with actively taking on new patients.

Reception lost my registration details

The reception team were unable to complete my registration despite my visit to the practice in person. Although I completed the necessary paperwork, I waited over a week for a confirmation call that never came. When I eventually made contact, there was no record of my registration attempt. I was then asked whether I still wished to proceed with registering. I found this experience frustrating and felt the administrative process could have been handled more effectively. The overall service fell significantly short of my expectations.
