Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice, with notable contrasts between clinical and reception services. Clinical staff consistently receive praise for professionalism, compassion, and attentiveness, with many patients reporting positive interactions during appointments and prompt prescription processing. The online consultation system has improved and is generally viewed as efficient when used as intended. However, reception experience emerges as a significant concern, with recurring reports of discourteous behaviour, dismissive attitudes, and unhelpful interactions during phone calls and in-person visits. Patients frequently describe feeling unwelcome and frustrated by reception staff demeanor.
Appointment access presents ongoing challenges, with some patients experiencing lengthy delays in booking, administrative backlogs during registration, and inconsistent communication about timeframes. Several patients report difficulties with the online booking system navigation and inflexible appointment policies. Test result processing and referral handling have been problematic for some, with delays and administrative errors noted. Communication gaps between online consultations and clinical follow-up, along with inconsistent service standards across different staff members, have left some patients uncertain about next steps in their care.
The practice environment is generally described as modern and well-maintained, and there is evidence of recent service improvements in responsiveness and clinical engagement. However, the inconsistency between positive clinical experiences and challenging administrative interactions suggests that reception team training and appointment system refinement would significantly enhance overall patient satisfaction and confidence in the service.

Excellent!
Quick responses and text result updates now
I attempted to revise my previous feedback but it was unintentionally removed. The practice has demonstrated notable improvements in its communication and responsiveness. The digital consultation system is now operational, clinical staff have been prompt in their replies, and test outcomes are being processed swiftly with results communicated through text notifications alongside appropriate follow-up care and medication arrangements. It appears my earlier concerns may have been acknowledged. The clinical nursing team has consistently demonstrated kindness and empathy throughout my interactions, and I would suggest that some medical practitioners could benefit from adopting similar interpersonal approaches. I appreciate the practice's commitment and hope the management team continues to monitor feedback and act on it constructively. :)

Bad!
Out of catchment application took far too long
I enquired about registering at the practice after receiving a helpful response during my initial contact. Since my location falls slightly outside their standard catchment area, though only a short walk away, I was instructed to complete an out-of-area registration form with an expected processing time of 2 weeks. However, after 4 weeks have passed, each time I contact them I receive the same message that they are managing a backlog and the application may be processed within the following 2 weeks. When I first applied, I was informed they were welcoming new patients, with no indication of significant application volumes at that time. The extended waiting period has been disappointing as I require medical attention and the actual timeline has considerably exceeded what was initially communicated. I feel I would have benefited from seeking care elsewhere to receive an appointment more promptly. The experience has been frustrating, and I believe the information provided about processing timeframes was not transparent.

2 years agoDear Miss Anderson. Thank you for your feedback. All practices have a catchment area, which is determined by patient's postcode, hence why you were asked to complete an out of area form. I am sorry that there was a delay in your registration due to a high volume of new patient registration and also down to staff absences. Of course if you had needed to see a GP urgently we would have ensured that you would get the medical treatment you needed, by marking your registration as urgent. We have taken appropriate action to clear any backlog of registration. We can see that you have since been seen by a clinician and hope that you are well Kind regards Liberty Bridge Rd Practice - Management Team Management Team From your records we can see that you have now been seen by a clinician.

Poor!
Difficult to book appointments but helpful once seen
I had a negative experience with the reception staff. The manner in which phone calls were handled and the general demeanor presented felt unwelcoming and dismissive. I found this interaction frustrating and felt that the attitude displayed was unprofessional. I am considering escalating my concerns through formal channels to management. However, once an appointment was secured, the clinical staff demonstrated kindness and provided helpful support.
