Patient Experience Summary

The practice demonstrates strong clinical care and a welcoming environment, with patients consistently praising the skill, empathy and attentiveness of clinical staff across multiple reviews. Reception and administrative experiences are more mixed, with some patients reporting courteous and efficient service, whilst others have encountered inconsistent performance, including communication gaps between reception and clinical teams, delayed prescription processing, and limited appointment availability at times. Phone access presents challenges for some patients, with reports of extended wait times and call disconnections, though others describe straightforward and supportive telephone contact. Patients value the range of consultation options available and appreciate prompt attention during vaccination appointments and routine visits.

Administrative processes show areas requiring improvement, particularly around prescription management and the consistency of information provided to patients. Some patients have experienced frustration with delayed medication requests and unclear communication standards. A small number of patients have reported concerning experiences involving sensitivity to vulnerable individuals and lack of warmth in reception interactions, though the majority of feedback reflects positive reception experiences characterised by patience and understanding.

Overall, the practice benefits from strong clinical foundations and genuine care from most team members, supported by good appointment availability for urgent matters and welcoming clinical environments. However, administrative consistency and reception staff performance would benefit from attention to ensure all patients experience the same standard of courtesy, clarity and responsiveness across all service touchpoints.

Quick phone queues and speedy referral appointments

Relocated to the area last year with my elderly relative. I have been extremely pleased with the standard of care, compassion and responsiveness demonstrated by the practice. When contacting the surgery by phone, I typically find myself near the front of the queue. The speed at which appointments and referrals have been arranged has frequently exceeded my expectations, with specialist services contacting us to schedule appointments within the same or following day. The reception team have been welcoming and provided helpful assistance when the automated booking system presented difficulties. The clinical nursing staff have been exceptionally pleasant throughout. I would like to commend the practice on their excellent service.

Quick appointment but didn't ask how I felt

Received a vaccination appointment that was completed quickly and smoothly. The procedure itself was efficient, though there wasn't an opportunity to discuss my general wellbeing beforehand. Understandable given the busy schedule.
