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.

Reception staff made me feel genuinely welcomed and heard

Visited the local practice at Buttershaw. The receptionist demonstrated exceptional politeness, friendliness and helpfulness towards all patients. The healthcare professional who performed the blood test was efficient and caused no discomfort. They explained each step clearly, responded to my questions and offered additional information. Both staff members were warm, reassuring and attentive throughout. The service felt unhurried and focused. I appreciated the care extended to me and other patients. I noticed both individuals maintained consistent professionalism and compassion, which is particularly commendable when managing patients who may be experiencing different emotional circumstances.

Phone staff lacked compassion during urgent booking

I contacted the practice to arrange an appointment due to experiencing severe discomfort, and was informed that a referral could not be scheduled until several months away. During this conversation, I found the manner of the staff member to be unhelpful and dismissive. It seemed inappropriate for someone in a healthcare setting to display such a lack of empathy or understanding towards patients who are suffering. Given that healthcare professionals interact regularly with unwell individuals requiring support, I felt this person would be better suited to a different line of work.
