Improved service and online booking at church lane

In the spirit of fairness, I feel compelled to highlight the positive changes at this medical practice, despite my previous critical reviews. The Anima online booking system is now functioning smoothly and appears designed to help staff better assess patient needs. I appreciate how this approach could potentially reduce unnecessary visits, which often crowd doctors' waiting rooms. While the system works well for me, I recognize it might pose challenges for less tech-savvy individuals, particularly older patients or those uncomfortable with smartphone technology. Nevertheless, noticeable improvements have occurred at the surgery. During my recent visit, I witnessed an interaction where a patient was becoming confrontational with the receptionist due to confusion about the new online system. Having been in their shoes before, I now understand how counterproductive such behavior can be. The reception staff are simply doing their job and aren't responsible for policy decisions. It's clear that frustration with the new booking process can manifest as misplaced anger, though this doesn't excuse rudeness. The parking situation remains problematic - the car park is tiny and practically impossible for anything larger than a compact car. However, setting aside this persistent issue, the overall experience has definitely improved.
