Phone queues have finally improved here
While the staff are generally courteous, there are significant delays when trying to reach the practice by phone, particularly when navigating the queue system. On a recent occasion, I waited an extended period before getting through, only to discover that a prescription I had been assured was sent electronically had not been processed. When I followed up on this matter, no acknowledgement was made of the inconvenience caused. Having to make multiple calls to resolve issues with essential medication has been frustrating, and the overall standard of service has seemed to decline in recent times. The practice needs to improve its systems and processes. UPDATE: There has been a noticeable improvement in the practice's performance over the past year. Call waiting times have reduced considerably, and staff members demonstrate both competence and a willingness to investigate matters thoroughly when needed. The team consistently demonstrates politeness and genuine helpfulness. This supportive approach has made a meaningful difference to my experience as a patient. The improvements are much appreciated.

The telephone manner experienced when contacting the practice leaves much to be desired, and reaching someone can be extremely time-consuming.

Was transferred to this practice following a merger with another local surgery. Found the experience quite unappealing and would recommend looking elsewhere if possible.

The practice appears to lack clear organisation. There seems to be uncertainty about who is accountable for various matters.
