Patient Experience Summary

Feedback reflects a mixed experience across the practice, with notable variation in service quality depending on which staff member patients interact with. Many patients praise the courtesy and professionalism of reception, nursing, and pharmacy staff, along with efficient care delivery and a welcoming environment. However, appointment access remains a significant concern, with patients reporting extended waiting periods to secure slots and substantial delays once arriving for visits.

Several patients have experienced inconsistent reception conduct, ranging from dismissive behaviour to helpful assistance, suggesting variable standards in customer service. Clinical care quality also varies between practitioners, with some delivering thorough assessments and reassurance whilst others have left patients feeling their concerns were not adequately heard or taken seriously. Communication gaps on follow-up matters and difficulty accessing urgent appointments have been noted, though recent reviews indicate improved appointment availability in some cases.

Staff turnover has affected continuity of care, with patients unable to see the same healthcare professional on subsequent visits. The practice environment is generally well-maintained with good facilities, and the team demonstrates responsiveness to urgent requests. These patterns suggest the practice has pockets of excellence alongside areas requiring attention to consistency and accessibility.

Quick appointments and helpful staff here

I have consistently had positive experiences at this practice. The team members are always accommodating and supportive, and I find it relatively straightforward to secure appointment slots compared to other medical practices I have attended previously. The clinic generally maintains good time management, with appointments running on schedule, and any delays that do occur are typically minimal.

Easy appointment booking and swift communication throughout

Having relocated to the area after using two other local authority NHS services, I am very pleased with this practice. I found it straightforward to obtain an appointment, and my referral to the imaging department at the local hospital was processed promptly. My hospital appointment came through quickly. The staff I encountered were courteous and welcoming. My scan results were communicated to my GP practice the same day, and I received a message from my GP that afternoon with the findings. This represents an excellent standard of care, and I am grateful. I would strongly encourage others to register with this surgery.

Prescription app setup left unresolved

I found it quite frustrating trying to set up the digital app for managing my prescriptions. I've been unable to get it connected to my practice. A member of staff called to offer assistance and mentioned they would investigate the issue, but I didn't receive any further communication about it.

Reliable phone booking despite occasional queues

Having been attending this practice for over two decades, I have consistently found the clinical care provided to be of a high standard. The pharmacy department, despite experiencing changes in staffing over the years, continues to deliver reliable service with courteous and professional conduct. The telephone appointment booking system, while occasionally experiencing delays due to call volume, operates exceptionally well overall. The entire team at the practice demonstrates professionalism and dedication to their roles, and I appreciate their efforts. I wish them continued success in the year ahead.

Long waits but nurse appointments run on time

Healthcare appointments at this practice can be inconsistent in terms of timing. Consultations with clinical staff tend to run behind schedule more frequently than appointments with nursing staff.

Long waits left me feeling worse

I would strongly advise moving quickly if you can, as the experience at this practice may leave you in a significantly worse condition than when you arrived, potentially requiring specialist intervention.

Receptionists could be more polite and helpful

The reception staff could be more welcoming and courteous. They would benefit from additional training in customer service skills, as interactions often feel curt and dismissive. Making appointments has become an unpleasant experience, and I'm considering switching to a different practice. Overall, I'm dissatisfied with how I'm being treated at this surgery.

Long waits and dismissive staff attitudes

The overall experience at this practice was disappointing. The clinical team appeared rushed and unavailable, the appointment delays were excessive, and the demeanor of the staff members was unwelcoming.
