Practice declined after staff changes
This practice was previously good and had some excellent clinicians, but since their departure, the quality has declined significantly. I am currently unwell, yet the earliest available appointment is not until Monday. Where are the NHS principles of patient care, compassion, and commitment? This is absolutely shocking and disappointing.
Some healthcare professionals demonstrate genuine concern, while others appear less engaged in their approach.

This is an outstanding medical practice. Efficient. Professional. Compassionate. Reassuring. Friendly. Easy to access. What more could you ask for! And conveniently located nearby too.

The team members are welcoming and supportive, however the service is hindered by lengthy delays in obtaining prescriptions. Booking an appointment can also involve substantial waiting periods.
