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.

Friendly approach made blood test straightforward

Visited the practice today for a blood test. The clinical staff member was lovely and gentle, smiling and very pleasant. This was my second time receiving care from this staff member, and my first visit was also a positive experience despite a minor procedure being carried out. Thank you for the excellent care provided.

Felt genuinely listened to during appointment

I have had an excellent experience at this practice. From my initial appointment, the clinician demonstrated a genuine commitment to understanding my concerns and never made me feel pressured for time. The approach was comprehensive, with appropriate investigations arranged and follow-up communication provided throughout the process. Their dedication to thorough investigation ultimately helped identify the underlying cause of a longstanding health concern I had been experiencing. It is uncommon to encounter such a strong combination of clinical diligence and empathetic patient care.
