Long phone queues for repeat prescriptions
I have had a very poor experience with this practice. I feel there are frequent issues with prescription management and accuracy. My medication prescription period was shortened significantly, which now requires me to contact the surgery every couple of weeks. This is inconvenient and costly for me due to phone charges.

The practice can involve extended waiting periods, requires patients to use self-registration, and there are observations about the facilities including the restroom and prescription collection areas.

As always I cannot fault them, great staff and great service across the board. Yes, you do have to explain the reason for your appointment, but that is now standard practice at surgeries everywhere..

Would rate lower if possible, as obtaining an appointment is extremely difficult. There is no one available to speak with, and the service is not worth recommending. The practice does not appear to..
