Patient Experience Summary

Feedback reflects a mixed patient experience at the practice, with notable contrasts in service quality across different areas. Many patients report positive experiences with appointment booking, describing straightforward scheduling and responsive service, particularly when urgent care is needed. Reception staff receive consistent praise from satisfied patients for warmth, courtesy, and willingness to go beyond standard procedures. Medical consultations are frequently described as professional, compassionate, and thorough, with doctors demonstrating attentiveness and clear communication about treatment options.

However, a significant portion of feedback highlights persistent challenges with appointment access and reception experience. Patients report lengthy waiting times when calling to book appointments, difficulty securing slots despite multiple attempts, and frustration with limited availability. Some patients describe reception interactions as dismissive or discourteous, citing communication barriers and a perceived lack of empathy. Administrative efficiency remains a concern, with complaints about complicated booking systems and inconsistent service delivery.

Long-term patients note recent improvements in staff approach and responsiveness, suggesting positive changes in practice culture. While medical care quality is rarely questioned, the gap between reception experience and clinical care represents the primary source of patient dissatisfaction. The practice appears to be in transition, with newer staff members receiving particular recognition for enhanced courtesy and support.

After struggling to access my NHS account for an extended period, I visited Station Road Surgery and met with Lisa at the front desk. She went above and beyond, dedicating significant effort to troubleshooting my login difficulties. Her persistent approach meant she continued working on the problem until it was successfully addressed. Lisa's demeanor was incredibly supportive and kind, displaying remarkable patience throughout our interaction. Despite the time-consuming nature of my request, she made me feel completely comfortable and welcomed. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Lisa for her outstanding assistance.

Terrible gps with unhelpful staff and zero care

Undoubtedly the most incompetent GP practice I've ever encountered. Even when attempting to seek alternative care through private healthcare, they erect unnecessary obstacles. The reception staff epitomize the "computer says no" mentality. When an online GP recommended booking an emergency appointment, their response was to call back the next morning at 8am, with no guarantee of securing a slot - and if you miss out, tough luck. As other patients have noted, the doctors are completely useless (I requested a document confirming a condition was not pre-existing, but they refused, claiming they've never seen me about it - an argument that defies logic). The reception staff are arguably the most discourteous individuals I've ever interacted with. Practices like this tarnish the reputation of our otherwise excellent NHS. The best solution would be for this practice to be shut down, as they hinder rather than help the community. While no medical practice is perfect, this one is best avoided entirely. UPDATE: The Surgery's response seven months later only reinforces my original assessment - steer clear at all costs.

Frustrating healthcare with poor patient communication system

Regrettably, despite the excellent medical professionals, the practice's administrative setup is severely lacking. Securing an appointment, even a digital consultation, is an exercise in futility. The service appears to cater exclusively to a specific demographic, disregarding other patients' needs. My attempts to communicate with the practice manager have been consistently thwarted, with phone calls going unanswered. The sole communication method seems to be traditional mail, highlighting the archaic and disconnected approach of this medical facility. This outdated communication strategy perfectly encapsulates the surgery's inefficient and narrow-minded operational model.
