Poor! (50 reviews)
Feedback reveals a sharply divided patient experience. Vaccination services received consistent praise for efficient organisation, welcoming staff, and smooth processes. However, broader practice operations present significant challenges. Patients report substantial difficulties contacting the practice by phone, with extended waiting times and frequent appointment access barriers. Reception staff courtesy and communication vary considerably, with some patients describing dismissive or unhelpful interactions, while others note professionalism. Prescription management and online system accessibility emerge as recurring pain points, alongside delayed responses to patient requests. Several patients describe appointment cancellations and lack of continuity of care. A notable subset of feedback highlights responsive service through digital booking platforms, with prompt callbacks and same-day appointments available to some patients. The practice environment and staff professionalism receive mixed assessments, with some patients expressing confidence in clinical care when access is achieved, whilst others report feeling disrespected or deprioritised during interactions.
Key service concerns centre on booking accessibility, with patients describing impossible scheduling windows, blocked online routes, and phone lines consistently unavailable. Waiting experiences vary from minimal delays to extended periods on hold. Communication between departments appears inconsistent, and prescription refill processes have caused patient distress. Digital platform usability remains problematic for some, though others report successful experiences. Privacy concerns surface regarding staff discretion in reception areas.
Positive experiences cluster around vaccination delivery, prompt digital service responses, and individual clinician quality. When patients successfully access appointments, clinical care receives commendation. The introduction of digital consultation systems has improved access for some, though others find these systems ineffective or inaccessible. Overall, service quality appears inconsistent across different patient pathways and time periods.

Smooth shot but chilly wait outside
Efficiently managed process, though waiting outdoors can be tedious if the vaccine delivery is delayed for your designated time slot
