Patient Experience Summary

Across the feedback, the practice demonstrates strong performance in clinical care delivery and patient interaction. Staff consistently receive praise for courtesy, professionalism, and attentiveness, with patients particularly noting the welcoming approach, clear communication, and compassionate manner displayed during appointments. Blood tests and routine procedures are frequently described as efficient and painless, with healthcare professionals showing genuine concern for patient comfort and wellbeing. Reception and nursing teams are commended for their friendliness and supportive approach.

However, several service challenges emerge as recurring themes. Appointment access remains problematic, with patients reporting difficulty securing slots and lengthy waiting times for consultations. The recently introduced automated booking system has proven unhelpful, and phone line accessibility presents ongoing difficulties. Reception staff interactions are inconsistent, with some patients experiencing unwelcoming or dismissive behaviour. Service quality appears variable across different practice locations, with notable differences in patient experience reported between sites.

While the majority of feedback reflects positive experiences with clinical care and staff courtesy, the practice would benefit from addressing appointment availability, improving the booking system responsiveness, and ensuring consistent reception experience across all locations.

Quick and efficient blood appointment experience

Excellent phlebotomist who drew my blood during today's appointment. The procedure was quick and efficient. I usually have difficulty with blood draws at other locations, but this experience was notably smooth and straightforward.

Felt genuinely listened to during health review

Attended a pre-booked appointment at the surgery for my annual blood work and routine checks. It was a pleasure to see the clinician, who despite having a busy schedule always makes time to ask how patients are doing. She demonstrates considerable knowledge across a range of health matters and maintains a professional approach throughout consultations. It is clear from her manner that she has extensive experience in her role and conducts thorough health reviews. She is a valued member of the practice team.

Receptionist helped arrange same-day blood test

I was unable to reschedule my appointment for later in the week, so I visited the surgery in person instead. The receptionist contacted a member of the nursing staff to check whether I required the appointment on that day, given that I need regular blood work done weekly. The nurse came out to speak with me directly, confirmed that the weekly procedure was necessary, and kindly offered to carry it out for me immediately. This assistance was greatly valued and made the experience much smoother.
