Appointments gone within minutes of opening
I have been registered with this practice for approximately 5 years and have attended around 4 times, so I do not use the service frequently. When I do attend, it is because I feel I need medical attention. On each visit, I have been seen by nursing staff or a prescribing pharmacist rather than a doctor. The consultation process appears to involve entering symptoms into a computer system, after which a solution is provided that often feels like a generic response rather than personalised care. For those who are employed, attempting to secure an appointment presents significant challenges. Calling at opening time results in extended waiting on the line, and by the time the call is answered, available appointment slots have already been allocated. This happens consistently, with all appointments typically gone within the first few minutes of the day. It raises questions about the value of being registered with a practice when accessing treatment regularly requires attending alternative healthcare facilities instead.

The telephone manner experienced when contacting the practice leaves much to be desired, and reaching someone can be extremely time-consuming.

Was transferred to this practice following a merger with another local surgery. Found the experience quite unappealing and would recommend looking elsewhere if possible.

The practice appears to lack clear organisation. There seems to be uncertainty about who is accountable for various matters.
