Disappointing service at local medical practice
As an NHS employee, I find myself deeply let down by the management of this medical practice. While most of the healthcare professionals—doctors (with the exception of one who bizarrely suggested my one-year-old daughter's week-long food-related screaming was due to disliking my cooking), nurses, midwives, health visitors, and most reception staff—have been compassionate and supportive. I recognize that financial constraints, time pressures, and limited resources are challenges we face in my own department and across the NHS. Despite this, we consistently aim to deliver an efficient, empathetic, and patient-centered service, adapting our approach as demands evolve. Previously, I was registered with an exceptional surgery, but relocating forced me to change practices. The downgrade from a top-tier facility to this current one is genuinely frustrating. Numerous improvements are necessary to enhance service accessibility. From my perspective, this surgery is particularly unsuitable for working professionals and families—relatively minor modifications could significantly improve the overall experience.
Scheduling can be challenging, and they operate with a callback system that prioritizes urgent cases.

An absolute travesty. Zero coordination, misleading details, contradictory statements, completely unhelpful customer service with zero desire to assist whatsoever!!!!

1 star absolute waste of my time. You can't even negotiate with the doctor about pain medication. I'm taking myself and my daughter to another surgical facility where we'll be treated with dignity,..

Visited the medical practice today with a 2:30 appointment. Three receptionists were occupied with a single patient, causing the waiting line to grow increasingly long. It was appalling that they..

Awful establishment takes forever to pick up the phone, with wait times stretching to a full hour before anyone responds.

Been on hold for nearly an hour, and their phone support is absolutely ridiculous. At this rate, I'll likely resolve my issue before anyone even picks up the line.

Skeptical about the negative reviews? Believe me, they don't even capture the full extent of the problem. I tried to inquire about my son's medical details and was met with an incredibly dismissive..

This appears to be the sole medical practice where you're welcome only when healthy, but if you're unwell, accessing care becomes impossible. My partner has been suffering for 10 months without..
