Long waits make appointments feel pointless here
The clinical staff I've encountered have been pleasant and approachable. The healthcare professional I saw for my initial consultation had a somewhat forthright manner, though it wasn't particularly problematic. My main concern is the difficulty in obtaining timely appointments. Whenever I attempt to book, there's consistently a lengthy waiting period of at least two weeks. Even when requesting urgent slots, availability is limited to a week or more at the earliest, which often means my symptoms have resolved before I'm able to attend. This significantly undermines the purpose of seeking prompt medical attention. The practice lacks dedicated on-site parking, requiring visitors to search for street parking instead. The location does benefit from being adjacent to a pharmacy, which is helpful. I am considering transferring my registration to a practice with more accessible appointment availability.

Avoid at all costs. The clinical staff demonstrated unprofessional conduct, the wider team were unwelcoming, and there were significant parking difficulties at the location.
