Excellent
Felt genuinely cared for and listened to throughout
Attended for a cervical screening appointment today with a practice nurse who demonstrated excellent knowledge, professionalism and a friendly demeanor. Her calm and compassionate approach made the experience much more comfortable (though once every three years feels like quite frequent enough!). I recognise that many people have concerns about GP surgeries, and I understand why, but this practice has consistently delivered a high standard of care in my experience. I have been seen by several doctors over time and each has provided thorough and attentive treatment. One doctor in particular stood out for her conscientiousness: when preparing for a period of leave, she took steps to ensure continuity of my care and that my treatment plan would be properly managed in her absence. I felt genuinely valued and supported throughout, which reflects both excellent clinical practice and genuine personal care. The practice nurses have also been outstanding. One nurse is consistently empathetic and meticulous in her approach, while another nurse I see annually brings a positive energy to every appointment, always makes time available and clearly has genuine passion for her work. When I have required blood tests or specialist referrals, these have been organised without delay. Throughout my care, I have felt properly involved in decision-making, with ample opportunity to ask questions and discuss the options available to me. The on-site pharmacy, however, presents a different picture: it frequently appears disorganised with significant waiting times (on one occasion I waited an hour only to discover they did not stock the medication I required). Other local pharmacies provide a noticeably smoother service.
The staff member has been fantastic and wonderful in supporting me throughout my healthcare journey, demonstrating considerable knowledge and expertise.

If your budget allows, consider private healthcare alternatives. Otherwise, you may want to explore other options. This practice may not meet your expectations.
