Excellent
Appointment system works well and feels fair
I find it surprising to see such a low rating for this practice. In my view, this surgery stands out significantly among local providers. The approach taken during the pandemic, particularly regarding appointment management, has been exemplary. Prior to the pandemic, many people would book appointments for issues that may not have required a clinical visit. The practice's system during this period has been excellent. The process works as follows: patients ring to request an appointment, explain their concern to reception staff, the issue is then reviewed by the duty clinician who assesses whether an in-person consultation is necessary, the patient is contacted with the outcome, and if a visit is needed, it typically happens the same day. I believe this approach is ideal and would welcome its continuation. Those requiring face-to-face care receive it promptly. Based on these experiences, I would rate all staff members very highly and fully endorse the clinical team. The service has been outstanding.

It's concerning how patient privacy seems to have changed in recent times. The process requires sharing detailed health information with reception staff, and there appears to be a system where only..

The medical professionals here are competent, though they do seem to have quite full schedules.
