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.

Works well for me

Yes it's a very good practice for me personally who doesn't need to personally visit the surgery. I'm often happy to speak over the telephone or on WhatsApp but appreciate that this isn't for everyone.

Good practice

I have been a patient at the Brooke surgery since 1995 and have seen a gradual positive improvement. In the 30 years some of the changes have not always been beneficial to me but I appreciate that due to the increased patient base and increased staff I can’t expect a personal service and relationship with the one doctor I was signed up with.

Helpful GP assistants

I recently used the reliable messaging service chat doc on WhatsApp. Hannah a GP assistant who was professional, friendly and fast at responding replied within an hour and offered me an appointment for the same day at 5pm but sadly I couldn’t make that. 8.30am the next morning Sophie another GP assistant messaged stating she had referred me over to Hyde hub where someone would ring me to offer an appointment which they did. The service and care shown from Hannah and Sophie was fantastic. Thank you to the both of you.

Excellent service

I recently moved into the area from North Manchester. I have never experienced such quick responses and appointment availability in the past, it has always been very difficult. However this surgery’s new booking system allows you to request specific services with an instant response and they always try to accommodate you as soon as possible.

Progressive Practice

This practice continues to improve the appointment booking system. Introduction of technology Is making an impact and improving the system making it much easier. The introduction of Watsapp in particular has improved the system dramatically. Overall the service it delivers is a vast improvement on my previous experience elsewhere.

Timely appointment

I was seen twice firstly by a Paramedic and later by an ACP. My first appointment was thorough and professional however one of my symptoms was sadly overlooked. I returned a second time to discuss this enduring symptom and felt very reassured by the outcome which resulted in an appointment at TGH 4 days later. While I wouldn’t hesitate to see either of these professionals again, however I think deeper consideration might be given to matching patients with the most appropriate practitioner.
