Long waits and difficult access to doctor appointments

When experiencing illness or health concerns, contacting this practice for medical attention may prove challenging. Attempting to schedule an appointment typically results in extended waiting periods of several weeks, after which consultations may be conducted by alternative clinical staff rather than a doctor. Subsequent treatment pathways can involve further delays extending several months or longer. Patients with entitlements to priority care report feeling their status is not appropriately recognised or prioritised. Access to second opinions on medical matters has been described as difficult to obtain, and the ability to see a doctor directly appears limited, which may affect access to further treatment options that patients believe they are entitled to receive. When formal complaints have been raised regarding practice treatment, patients report receiving responses they perceive as unsatisfactory, with concerns appearing to remain unresolved through official NHS channels. The author of this review is a registered patient at this practice with specific healthcare entitlements due to military service and associated health conditions. Following a significant hospital admission and serious health event, the author reports ongoing health difficulties and feels that adequate support and follow-up care from both the practice and wider NHS services has not been forthcoming during the subsequent period of recovery. The author states this feedback is provided as a genuine account of their personal experience.
