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.

Quick follow-up arranged after medication review

I had my medication review earlier today. The clinician was very friendly and professional. We discussed any side effects to my medication, my lifestyle and the importance of a balanced diet and exercise. I was advised to have some blood tests and to have my blood pressure checked. The clinician was very kind and understanding and it was reassuring to know that a follow-up appointment would be arranged with a nurse to continue our conversation. Shortly afterwards I received a text confirming the appointment had been scheduled. I appreciated the care and attention provided during this visit.

Receptionists made a real difference during difficult times

I have been attending this practice for a considerable time and have built a strong relationship with the clinical team. I cannot express enough gratitude to everyone at the practice, particularly the reception staff, for the exceptional support I have received since facing a significant health challenge several years ago. The clinician I have worked with most closely has demonstrated genuine compassion and extensive knowledge, providing both medical expertise and emotional support throughout my care. I am confident that without this level of attentive and comprehensive care, my health outcomes would have been considerably different. I am deeply appreciative of the dedication shown by all involved in my treatment.

Felt genuinely listened to at every appointment

The clinical team at this practice has been exceptional since I joined two years ago, which was easily one of the best healthcare decisions I've made. They are consistently welcoming, highly professional, and create a comfortable environment from the moment you arrive. What stands out most is their patient-centered approach. They take the time to truly listen without any judgment, thoroughly address all concerns, and ensure you never feel rushed or dismissed. They always confirm you are completely satisfied with the care plan before you leave. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough.

Staff genuinely cared about my wellbeing

The team here are wonderful and demonstrate genuine compassion in their work. Both the medical and nursing staff show real dedication and provide excellent care within the constraints of the healthcare system. Throughout my visits, I have been impressed by how the clinical team consistently apply current best practice standards to ensure quality treatment. I believe they deserve more recognition than these ratings suggest, as the feedback here likely represents only a small proportion of dissatisfied patients. It would be beneficial if this outstanding clinical team could be retained going forward.
