Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice. Many patients report positive interactions with clinical staff who demonstrate professionalism, thoroughness, and compassionate care. Reception teams are frequently noted as helpful and courteous, and emergency appointment access is consistently praised. However, significant concerns emerge around inconsistency in service quality depending on which healthcare provider is seen, with some patients describing dismissive communication and inadequate clinical assessments. Appointment availability for routine care presents a notable challenge, with patients reporting extended waiting times and occasional cancellations that have affected confidence in the service.

Communication barriers are evident in multiple areas, including difficulty contacting the surgery, delayed prescription processing, and pharmacy access issues. Several patients describe experiences where their concerns were not taken seriously or where clinical care fell below expected standards, with one patient noting that a straightforward condition escalated to a medical emergency due to inadequate initial management. Conversely, when urgent situations arise, the practice demonstrates responsiveness and has successfully accommodated same-day emergency appointments.

The practice maintains professional standards in most interactions and benefits from dedicated clinical and reception staff. Positive feedback highlights efficient service delivery, thorough assessments when provided, and genuine support from team members. However, the variability in care quality and persistent access challenges for routine appointments suggest inconsistency in service delivery across different areas of the practice.

GP avoided liaison work due to cost concerns

I had a complicated matter that required my GP practice to communicate with a government department. That department needed the practice to provide straightforward information. Instead of handling this directly, the practice contacted me to suggest that I obtain my medical records and send them myself to the government department, despite that department already being in possession of these records. The practice cited concerns about potential retrieval costs as their reason for this approach. I was informed that I could potentially be held responsible for any expenses if the practice were unable to recover costs from the government department. This response was disappointing, particularly given that the practice holds accreditation for supporting a specific patient group. I felt the practice prioritised financial considerations over providing the service that was expected of them.

Appointments cancelled twice during pregnancy care

I don't often need to visit my GP practice, but given my current circumstances, I've been advised to receive vaccinations at specific points during this period. I scheduled two separate appointments for these vaccinations at different times, yet both were cancelled. This experience has significantly affected my confidence in this practice.

Receptionists and staff showed genuine compassion

I frequently hear acquaintances and relatives express dissatisfaction with the care they receive at their local medical practices. However, my experience at this surgery has been quite different for both myself and my partner. The entire team, from administrative staff through to clinical professionals, has consistently provided outstanding care and, importantly, demonstrated genuine empathy throughout our interactions.
