Patient Experience Summary

Patients consistently report positive experiences with clinical care, reception courtesy, and the welcoming atmosphere at the practice. Staff are frequently described as friendly, professional, and attentive, with clinicians taking time to listen, explain procedures clearly, and provide reassurance. Communication and explanation of care are particular strengths, with many patients noting they felt heard and supported during appointments. However, several service challenges emerge across the feedback. The online appointment booking system presents significant barriers, particularly for elderly patients who struggle with digital processes, and some patients report extended delays in securing appointments. Referral coordination issues have caused frustration, with instances of incorrect hospital directions and multiple referrals sent to wrong locations. Additionally, responsiveness to complaints and test result requests has been inconsistent, with some patients experiencing delays requiring repeated follow-up contact.

Despite these access and administrative difficulties, the quality of clinical interactions and the care environment remain strong. Patients appreciate the clean, well-maintained facilities and the efficiency of appointments once they are scheduled. The practice demonstrates particular strength in continuity of care and building patient confidence, with many long-term patients expressing satisfaction with the standard of service. Improvements to the booking system and referral processes would address the main areas of concern raised in the feedback.

Admin team processes things quickly and efficiently

The administrative team are very attentive and ensure that matters are handled promptly and efficiently. When you see a clinician, you receive the assistance you require without unnecessary delays. This practice deserves commendation for their service. Having been a patient for nearly a year, I find the experience significantly improved compared to my previous surgery.

Bad!

Felt rushed and dismissed without proper examination

This appointment fell short of expectations. The clinician appeared dismissive and did not take time to engage with my medical background, despite my efforts to convey the ongoing consequences of a previous injury. I was interrupted multiple times and directed to self-refer to a specialist service, despite being aware of substantial waiting times and currently experiencing significant discomfort and functional limitations that have considerably affected my daily life. I have invested in private treatment for an extended period without improvement. The treating professional had suggested I follow up with my GP. I also brought up a new skin concern, particularly given my previous skin condition history. This was not thoroughly examined or addressed with appropriate reassurance, which felt inadequate given the circumstances. Rather than exploring further investigation, management options, or support, I left the appointment feeling undervalued for raising the issue. The appointment lacked structure, clear next steps, or compassionate engagement — it was a hurried, inattentive consultation that left me feeling overlooked and unsupported. The standard of care provided was disappointing. Follow up: Be aware that follow-up communication may be limited. I submitted a formal complaint and was told I would receive a callback early in the following week. Several days have now passed without any contact. It appears that patient concerns are not treated as a priority. Responsiveness to feedback has been lacking.

Online booking system needs serious improvement

The reception team are wonderful and very supportive, however the appointment booking process itself feels disorganised and quite irritating. I had to wait several days for an appointment since my matter wasn't time-sensitive, but the online system repeatedly suggested an alternative type of appointment that wasn't what I needed. Eventually I visited the surgery in person to get help working through the system and to arrange a proper in-person consultation. Overall it wasn't a particularly positive experience, and I don't believe the technology has made things better.

Friendly nurse made blood tests feel easy

I recently attended my annual review appointment with a member of the nursing team. The clinician was exceptionally friendly and worked with great efficiency throughout the session. She demonstrated excellent technique when taking blood samples, which can sometimes be challenging. She created a comfortable environment for conversation and offered valuable guidance regarding my current medications. I was disappointed to learn that she would be departing the practice shortly to pursue another opportunity elsewhere. This is unfortunate, as she was clearly a valued member of the team. I would certainly recommend her services to others and wish her well in her future endeavours.

Staff were kind and found me a quick appointment

I found all the staff members I encountered to be kind, courteous and friendly. They were very accommodating and even though I had made a mistake with my appointment timing, I was still seen. The clinician I met with gave me plenty of time, listened carefully to my concerns and explained everything in a clear manner. I left feeling reassured that I was receiving appropriate care. I then needed to arrange a blood test and the reception team managed to find me an appointment very quickly. I departed the surgery with peace of mind, satisfied that everything had been properly arranged.
