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.

Receptionist made us feel welcome and heard

My child had their respiratory condition review today at the medical practice. We had a very positive experience. The healthcare professional was kind, patient, and very thorough throughout the appointment. They made my child feel comfortable and explained everything clearly, which really helped put us both at ease. We truly appreciate the care and professionalism shown. Thank you for such excellent service.

Phlebotomist got it right first time

The phlebotomist was excellent. I typically find it difficult to provide blood samples, but they were successful on the first try. I needed several tubes collected for different tests, and throughout the process they regularly checked in to see how I was managing, and continued to do so once the collection was complete. A very caring professional.
