Feedback reveals a mixed experience across the practice, with notable strengths in clinical care and pharmacy services alongside significant challenges in appointment access and booking processes. Patients consistently report difficulty obtaining appointments through phone booking, with lengthy wait times and limited same-day availability creating frustration, particularly for those in employment. The newly implemented online booking system has been praised by several patients as a marked improvement, enabling faster appointment access and reducing administrative burden. Reception experience varies considerably, with some patients noting courteous and helpful staff, whilst others describe interactions lacking patience and compassion, particularly when handling medication queries or managing appointment requests.
Clinical care standards are generally well-regarded, with patients commending professional staff, thorough assessments, and attentive consultations. Vaccination services, pharmacy operations, and specialist services such as physiotherapy have received positive feedback. The practice environment is typically described as welcoming, well-maintained, and conveniently located with adequate parking. However, concerns about continuity of care, delayed referrals, appointment cancellations without notification, and unresponsive communication have been raised. Some patients report experiencing rushed consultations and feeling their concerns were not fully explored.
Organisational issues appear to underpin many negative experiences, with management and coordination cited as areas requiring improvement. Whilst individual staff members are often praised for their professionalism and courtesy, systemic challenges around appointment scheduling, referral processing, and communication responsiveness suggest broader operational difficulties that impact the overall service experience.

Quick appointment with a listening ear
I attended an emergency appointment at this clinic today. The wait time was minimal before being seen by the clinician. The appointment was conducted in a friendly manner, with the healthcare professional taking time to listen carefully as I described my concerns and symptoms. I did not experience any sense of being hurried through the consultation. I felt quite fortunate to secure an appointment here, as my regular practice had no emergency slots available that morning and I did not receive a callback from the NHS service I had contacted. The convenient location of the pharmacy adjacent to the clinic was also appreciated.

Professional physiotherapist took time to listen
Was seen today by a physiotherapist. Very professional and thorough. I have seen this clinician before and found them to be accurate with their previous assessments of my symptoms. They are currently investigating another concern I have brought to their attention.

Felt rushed and not properly listened to
I experienced chest discomfort along with other symptoms. During my appointment, I felt the consultation was rushed, with a prescription issued very quickly. I was quite unwell and subsequently sought a second opinion privately, where I was informed of a more serious underlying condition. I felt my concerns were not fully heard or explored during the initial visit. I was grateful to have access to alternative medical care that provided a more thorough assessment.

Average!
Difficult to reach and follow-ups are lacking
Similar to many GP practices across the country, obtaining an appointment or receiving a callback proves to be quite challenging. The staff demeanor could be more welcoming. Follow-up communication regarding test outcomes is infrequent, necessitating patients to make calls and endure lengthy wait times to speak with someone.

Late opening pharmacy made things convenient
The pharmacy service was excellent. They appear to be open late on Sundays until 10.30pm, though I'm uncertain if this applies every Sunday. It's a well-stocked facility with a pleasant atmosphere.

Friendly staff but appointments consistently run late
The majority of appointments tend to run behind schedule without prior notification or estimated waiting times, though you only become aware of delays after waiting considerably and having to inquire at reception. Despite this scheduling issue, the staff members encountered are generally pleasant and professional in their interactions.

Online booking made getting appointments easier
I was uncertain about the new online booking system, but it has proven to be excellent. Appointments are much simpler to arrange with less unnecessary travel required, making it straightforward to access care when needed. The team at the practice are welcoming and courteous, and the overall experience has noticeably improved with this service now in place. Well done to everyone involved.

I have been very satisfied with the entire team at this surgery, from those at the front desk through to the clinical staff.
