Quick response to online consultation request

Excellent service at the local medical practice today. I completed an online consultation form and received a prompt response. A face-to-face appointment was arranged for the next day with a healthcare professional who was very professional and courteous. They conducted a comprehensive assessment and I felt reassured that my concerns were properly understood and handled appropriately. Very satisfied with the experience.

Quick access to healthcare professionals when needed most

I found it challenging to access the review platform through the link sent to my phone, as I do not use a smartphone and my google account is not active. I had to manually enter the web address to reach this site. That said, I am very grateful for the opportunity to see advanced clinical practitioners when appointments with my preferred doctor involve lengthy waiting times, during which my initial symptoms have sometimes become significantly worse. Having access to these practitioners has been genuinely helpful, and I appreciate the service provided.

Car park system caused stress and upset

I found the experience with this medical practice deeply concerning, particularly regarding the car parking arrangements. The parking system appeared to cause significant distress to vulnerable patients, including elderly individuals, without clear accountability. The parking company did not provide adequate proof when vehicle registration details were entered into the system. The practice should take responsibility for the stress and upset this has caused their patients. I successfully challenged a parking ticket issued to an elderly person I know, as did several others. I received a parking ticket myself and am willing to pursue this matter further if necessary. When I raised concerns about this issue, I felt I was not treated fairly, and I understand many other patients share similar experiences. What troubles me most is that the medical professionals at this practice appear aware of the situation yet have not taken meaningful steps to support their patients. The parking system requires vehicle registration to be entered into a device on the wall, but this does not generate a ticket or provide evidence of payment or entry. A legal professional specialising in parking disputes contacted the practice offering free assistance after seeing a social media post about the issue, with comments disabled. When I spoke with a member of staff about this offer of help, they were unwilling to engage. Despite my attempts to communicate via phone and email, suggesting that those who signed the parking contract should be held accountable, there has been no constructive response. The practice leadership did not reply to the legal professional's offer of assistance, which I find disappointing given their stated commitment to patient care. Patients dealing with health concerns should not face this additional burden. I am saddened by these recent experiences and also frustrated by other aspects of my care, including lengthy waits for referrals and diagnoses.

Online booking made it really easy

The online appointment system was straightforward and convenient. I was able to select from available times and practitioners. Blood tests were completed during the same visit, which was efficient. This represented a noticeable improvement compared to my previous visits. The practice deserves recognition for these enhancements.

Easy online booking made urgent care simple

A family member required an urgent appointment and was able to secure one conveniently through the online booking system, with several time slots available and the option to see different practitioners either the same day or the following day during morning hours. This represented a significant improvement compared to the booking experience from several years prior.

Staff sorted prescriptions quickly while away

Called the practice earlier today. The team demonstrated exceptional helpfulness and compassion. Within sixty minutes, the necessary medications were arranged for collection at a convenient local pharmacy while I am recuperating following a significant incident away from home. Much appreciated to the practice - it's gratifying to share positive feedback.
