Patient Experience Summary

Feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice, with notable variation in service quality. Many patients report positive interactions with clinical and nursing staff, describing them as supportive, professional, and approachable. Reception experiences are similarly inconsistent, with some patients praising courtesy and helpfulness while others describe dismissive or curt interactions.

Administrative issues emerge as a recurring concern, including patient record errors, delayed prescription processing, and difficulties with appointment booking systems. Telephone access remains a significant challenge, with patients reporting extended waiting times and difficulty reaching the practice, particularly during peak hours. Several patients note that appointment availability is limited, with some describing the booking process as frustrating or lottery-like.

While clinical consultations are frequently praised for their quality and thoroughness, some patients report feeling rushed or dismissed during appointments. The practice environment and cleanliness receive positive feedback, and communication during appointments is generally described as clear when time is allocated. However, concerns about responsiveness to follow-up requests and inconsistency in care quality persist across the feedback period.

Reception mix-up caused unnecessary stress and frustration

When I arrived for my appointment, I discovered it had been registered under a different family member's name rather than my own. The receptionist's manner was quite curt and dismissive, and it was only when another staff member intervened and suggested amending the booking quickly that the situation was resolved—otherwise I would have needed to reschedule entirely. I was also uncomfortable when another member of staff entered the waiting area in a manner I found rather impolite. However, one staff member was exceptionally kind and reassuring, offering me considerable support during a difficult moment, particularly given my frustration over the administrative errors that had occurred at the practice.
