Quick response when I needed urgent help

I attended the medical practice and informed the receptionist about my concerning heart rate. I was seen promptly by the clinical team who assessed my condition and arranged for emergency transport. The staff handled the situation with great professionalism and efficiency, and I am very grateful for their swift response and care. Following treatment at the hospital, my condition has been successfully managed and I am doing well. I would like to extend my thanks to the practice for their excellent support during this worrying time.

Felt genuinely listened to and valued here

I have visited the practice twice in the last month and both times I've left feeling like I was genuinely listened to and treated as an individual rather than just another appointment. Both clinicians took the time to hear my concerns, didn't hurry me through the consultation and left me feeling satisfied and validated in my experience. Very grateful for the care provided.

Reception staff helpful and clinic support made real difference

I hear lots of negative comments about this medical practice but I have to say that my own experience has been a positive one. Most recently, most of my interactions have been about managing a respiratory condition. Thanks to the help and advice I received at the specialist clinic I can now undertake physical activities without experiencing breathlessness, I am exercising outdoors for at least an hour every day and I feel like a new person. I haven't felt this good in years!!! The knock on effect on my mental wellbeing and quality of life has been fantastic. I would like to pass on my thanks to the whole team.

Long phone queue but felt properly listened to

After a lengthy wait to reach the reception team, I was able to secure an appointment with a clinician and I am very pleased with how the consultation went. The clinician listened attentively to what I was experiencing. They addressed my partner's questions and worries and gave me reassurance that adjusting my medication would be beneficial. I feel much more confident now in managing my condition. A thoroughly positive experience overall.

Quick callback on routine medication request

I submitted an online request for a routine telephone consultation regarding some non-urgent medication adjustments. The practice called me back within thirty minutes. While no system is without its limitations, I have found the team at the practice to be genuinely dedicated to exploring and evaluating methods to enhance patient access. Each time I have attended an appointment, the experience has been pleasant and inclusive, with my concerns being heard and addressed appropriately. I appreciate the care provided.

Helpful advice despite repeated booking system failures

The second part of my health review appointment went well and the clinical staff member provided me with helpful guidance. However, I continue to experience difficulties with the practice's appointment management system, which was unavailable once again. There appears to be significant staffing challenges, whether due to high staff turnover or frequent absences. To clarify my previous comments, I was referring to the check-in process when arriving for my appointment at the surgery, as the system was offline yet again.
