Patient feedback reflects a mixed experience at the practice, with clinical care consistently praised but significant concerns about access and administrative processes. The clinical team receives strong recognition for professionalism, attentiveness, thorough examinations, and compassionate care. However, appointment access remains a substantial challenge, with patients reporting extended delays in securing slots, lengthy waits beyond scheduled times, and difficulties reaching reception staff by telephone. Several patients described frustration with medication access delays, administrative issues including lost registration forms, and inflexible procedures that prioritise practice systems over patient needs.
Reception experience presents a notable divide in feedback. While many patients commend courteous and helpful reception staff, others report dismissive behaviour, unhelpful interactions, and unwillingness to facilitate contact with clinical staff. Communication gaps appear throughout the patient journey, from unclear information about appointment procedures to lack of updates during extended waits. Some patients noted that online booking systems work efficiently, yet telephone access remains problematic, particularly at peak times.
Despite these operational challenges, the practice demonstrates genuine clinical strengths. Patients frequently highlight the welcoming atmosphere during appointments, thorough care pathways, and healthcare professionals who listen carefully and explain treatment options clearly. Long-term patients express loyalty and confidence in the service, though some have relocated to other practices due to access difficulties. The feedback suggests the practice would benefit from reviewing appointment systems, improving communication during waits, and ensuring consistent reception standards across all patient interactions.

Bad!
Registration forms lost and denied by reception
Would not recommend. We attempted to register by submitting properly completed forms to reception staff. However, the forms went missing, and when we followed up after more than a month without hearing back, we were told that the forms had never been received. While the clinical services may be of good quality, we were unable to experience them due to administrative issues and inconsistent communication regarding what happened to our paperwork. This experience raised concerns about data handling and the accuracy of information provided.

Receptionists were unhelpful and dismissive
The reception staff demonstrated unhelpful and dismissive behaviour, appearing either unable or unwilling to provide adequate assistance or facilitate contact with clinical staff who might have better understood the urgency of the situation.

Average!
Struggling to book appointments by phone
The quality of care provided by the clinical team has generally been very good in my experience. However, I have found it quite challenging to get through to the practice, particularly given the current circumstances. While there is messaging that the service remains available and that routine health checks should continue, I have attempted to contact the practice on consecutive mornings at the designated time of 8 o'clock, and as advised, again in the afternoon at 3 o'clock. On both occasions, I was asked to call back the following morning at 8 to try to secure a telephone consultation to determine whether an in-person visit would be necessary. This situation has been rather disappointing.

Bad!
Practice ignored repeated calls for urgent help
The service has declined significantly this year and feels uncaring. It took nearly a month to obtain important medication, despite calling twice daily and being assured of a callback that never came. The practice appears to prioritise their own concerns over patient needs. There seems to be a lack of awareness that other health issues require attention alongside current pressures.
