Patient Experience Summary

Feedback on this practice reflects a mixed experience across appointment access, communication, and care quality. Patients consistently report challenges with booking availability and telephone access, with extended waiting times for routine appointments and difficulties reaching the surgery by phone. Communication delays and inconsistent service standards have been noted concerns, alongside occasional dismissive reception interactions. However, many patients praise the clinical team's attentiveness and compassion, with particular appreciation for practitioners who listen carefully, provide thorough explanations, and demonstrate genuine commitment to patient wellbeing. Reception staff receive mixed feedback, though several patients highlight exceptional dedication from individual team members who show particular warmth toward vulnerable patients.

Where patients have experienced continuity of care and responsive clinical engagement, satisfaction is notably high, with strong recognition of the practice's supportive approach during complex health challenges. The practice appears to perform well on clinical quality and patient-centered care when appointments are secured, though operational efficiency in booking systems and initial contact remains an area requiring improvement. Recent feedback suggests some positive developments in service responsiveness and staff helpfulness, though appointment availability constraints continue to impact the overall experience for patients seeking timely access to care.

Pharmacist took time to listen and genuinely care

I have had several consultations with the pharmacy team at a local medical centre. The healthcare professional I worked with is of the highest caliber and a genuine asset to the practice. They proactively follow up to check on my wellbeing. They listen attentively and show considerable understanding towards patients managing mental health concerns. There is never any sense of being rushed, and their approach is empathetic and thoroughly professional. Their support has been invaluable during challenging periods, particularly when other clinicians referred me to their care. This person demonstrates genuine kindness, thoughtfulness, and above all, a deeply compassionate approach to patient care.

Reception staff helpful with straightforward prescription ordering

I attended an appointment for shoulder injections and the clinician took time to explain the purpose and function of the procedure rather than simply carrying it out. They also enquired about my physiotherapy progress and offered some valuable guidance. The overall service was good, with friendly and efficient reception staff. Additionally, I found the prescription ordering system through the NHS app to be straightforward and convenient.

Quick appointment booking and hospital coordination

Over the past year and a half, I have experienced several significant health concerns, and both the administrative team and clinical staff have been excellent in managing my care. They have been responsive with appointment scheduling, provided prompt callback services, and coordinated effectively with nearby healthcare facilities. I would encourage them to continue delivering this standard of service.
