Patient feedback reflects a predominantly positive experience with clinical care and team responsiveness. The majority of reviews commend the standard of clinical care, with patients describing staff as attentive, compassionate, and professional. Reception teams are frequently noted as friendly and supportive, and consultations are reported to run on schedule. Continuity of care and effective collaboration with specialist services are also highlighted as strengths.
However, a consistent pattern of access challenges emerges across several reviews. Patients report difficulties reaching the practice by telephone, with lines frequently busy and restricted availability for medication-related inquiries limited to specific midday hours. Appointment availability presents another concern, with extended waiting times noted, and one patient experienced an appointment booking error. Reception courtesy has been inconsistent, with some patients describing staff interactions as curt or inattentive. Care coordination issues are also evident, including delays in medication provision and unresolved follow-up care.
Patients suggest that digital platforms for appointment scheduling and medication queries could improve accessibility. While clinical care quality remains a significant strength, improvements to communication channels, appointment availability, and reception consistency would enhance the overall service experience.

Reception desk needs a buzzer system
I attended an appointment at the scheduled time but found the reception area unattended initially. After attempting to get attention, someone eventually came to the front desk. I would suggest installing a buzzer system to alert staff when patients require assistance at reception, particularly during times when the desk may be temporarily unmanned.

Reception staff seemed distracted during my visit
I visited to submit a prescription. The receptionist seemed inattentive, appearing distracted by conversation with a colleague and their computer screen. When I inquired about scheduling an appointment, I was declined and instructed to call instead. Additionally, my prescription and medication have not been provided to me, and I have been unable to reach anyone by phone despite attempting to call over a two-day period. I found this situation frustrating and feel the lack of communication regarding the status of my medication and prescription was unsatisfactory. I am quite disappointed with my experience at this practice.

Staff handled an emergency with calm professionalism
Visited the practice today to pick up new patient registration paperwork. During my time in the waiting area, I observed another patient experiencing a health issue. The team responded promptly, maintained their composure, and managed the situation with consideration for everyone present. Based on what I saw, the staff demonstrated professionalism and care, which reinforced my confidence in choosing to register at this practice. I hope everyone involved was alright following the incident.

Frustrating phone lines and limited prescription contact hours
Extremely difficult to reach by telephone, as the lines seem to be constantly busy. The restricted availability for medication-related inquiries—only accessible between certain midday hours—feels inconvenient. It seems there would be significant benefit in implementing digital platforms for appointment scheduling and medication questions. If phone lines are frequently unavailable, wouldn't it be logical to offer these alternative communication methods?

Long wait for appointment, rude reception
The receptionist came across as rather curt when I enquired about scheduling an appointment regarding a hearing-related concern. The soonest available slot was nearly three weeks away, which felt like quite a lengthy wait.

Long wait for spine injury follow-up
I feel my care has not been handled as effectively as I would have hoped, following a serious spinal injury. My situation remains unresolved even after several weeks have passed.

Staff listened and appointments ran on time
I have consistently found the entire team, including clinical staff and administrative personnel, to be attentive, supportive, caring and meticulous in their approach. Consultations typically run on schedule and patients receive thoughtful attention throughout their visits. The clinical team offers a range of treatment options and effectively collaborates with specialist services available through local hospital networks. I have no concerns about the care provided and would gladly suggest this practice to prospective patients.

The reception team are friendly and the pharmacy staff are supportive in helping patients navigate various aspects of their healthcare journey. I would suggest this practice to anyone in the area seeking GP services.
