Patient Experience Summary

Feedback reflects a mixed experience across the service. Positive comments consistently highlight the care experience, with patients praising courtesy, communication, and reassurance from clinical and support staff. The practice environment receives praise for cleanliness and modern facilities, while responsiveness and professionalism are noted as strengths in specific clinical interactions. However, significant concerns emerge around appointment availability and the booking experience. Multiple patients report difficulty securing appointments through standard channels, with reception staff frequently directing them to walk-in clinics instead. The reception experience presents particular challenges, with complaints about staff attitude, communication barriers, and gatekeeping of access to clinicians. Waiting time experience and organisation of the booking system, particularly the online platform, are cited as sources of frustration. Patients also report concerns about respect and consideration during interactions, with some describing dismissive or insensitive treatment from reception staff.

The contrast between positive clinical care and negative access experiences suggests the practice delivers good quality care when patients reach clinicians, but faces significant barriers in helping patients access that care. Concerns about appointment availability, booking processes, and reception experience represent the most consistent themes requiring attention.
