Patient Experience Summary

Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience at the practice, with significant variation in satisfaction levels. Positive feedback consistently highlights responsive communication through online booking systems and messaging platforms, with many patients reporting same-day appointment access and prompt replies to enquiries. Reception staff are frequently praised for friendliness and professionalism, while clinical teams are noted for their attentiveness and supportive approach to care.

However, notable challenges emerge across multiple reviews. Patients report persistent difficulties contacting the practice by phone, with long wait times and system accessibility issues. Appointment scheduling remains problematic for some, with complaints about limited availability and the need to navigate multiple platforms. Prescription processing delays and referral handling issues appear as recurring concerns, with some patients experiencing significant waits for specialist appointments or unclear communication about referral status.

The introduction of new digital communication systems has generated mixed reactions. While many appreciate the convenience of WhatsApp and online messaging for faster responses, others find these systems complicated or prefer traditional phone contact. Technical issues with booking systems and inconsistent staff availability continue to impact patient experience. Overall, the practice demonstrates strengths in responsiveness and clinical care quality, but operational challenges around access, communication clarity, and system reliability require attention to meet all patient needs effectively.

Extremely satisfied with the reassurance given by the advanced practice nurse. The appointment did not require an in-person visit to the clinic, which was very convenient for my circumstances.

Request closed without follow-up contact needed resubmission

My inquiry was closed without receiving the promised follow-up contact, which meant I had to submit my request again. Despite this inconvenience, I remain generally satisfied with the service.
