Difficult to book appointments with reception issues
Since the new management arrived, accessing GP appointments has become increasingly difficult and frustrating. The experience has deteriorated to such an extent that serious concerns about the practice's viability come to mind. There are two staff members whose professionalism and dedication stand out positively. One has been with the practice for many years, while the other is a clinical professional who consistently provides good care. It is unfortunate that a previous senior clinician has since left, as the practice functioned better during that period. The reception team's performance is problematic. There are frequent inconsistencies between what they communicate and what actually happens, with explanations that lack credibility. A significant issue occurred when administrative paperwork needed completion. The reception team provided an estimate of 24 hours, yet the process took nearly a week, and the form was still not completed accurately upon submission. When instructed by an external authority to collect the completed document before submission, the reception team sent it regardless, creating additional complications. When temporarily registered as a patient at another location due to personal circumstances, this practice subsequently removed the records without proper notification or discussion. This has resulted in a decision not to re-register with them. The overall experience has been very poor. The practice does not merit a positive recommendation. It is surprising that the practice continues to operate given these significant service issues. Would this surgery be recommended to others? Absolutely not.
I attempted to contact the practice at opening time but received an automated message indicating all staff were unavailable. I persisted with multiple call attempts over approximately twenty..

It is uncommon to have continuity with the same healthcare provider at this practice. There appears to be a tendency to quickly offer medication without thorough investigation. I have experienced..

The reception staff were unhelpful during phone calls, and the booking system proved problematic. Overall, this practice requires significant improvements.

Awful experience with accessibility - I struggle to reach the practice by telephone, and although they collected my contact details to call me back, I'm still awaiting that return call.

It would be beneficial if the reception team could prioritise answering incoming phone calls more promptly, as callers may experience lengthy wait times before their calls are answered.
