Staff are kind but phone queues are unbearable
I will say that the staff are all lovely. They are very hard working and trying their best. The people working there would get 5 stars all day long. But to physically speak or see someone is horrific. I've been a strong supporter of this practice for over 7 years - because of how nice the staff are. Since experiencing ongoing health concerns though spending 2 hours on hold to try to speak to someone on a regular basis is really starting to affect my opinion. The process on seeing or speaking to someone would get 0 stars - I hope someone reads this feedback and puts some processes in place. The reception staff are stretched beyond belief and the service then suffers from that. If I only had to contact them once a year, then I would happily accept the waiting on hold - but I'm having to speak to them every couple of weeks & being far back in a queue and on hold for 2 sometimes 2.5 hours while trying to do my own job for my employment is hard. Could there be a different system for patients like me who need regular contact? Rather than those with occasional temporary issues. I'm contemplating changing surgeries because of the wait times on the phone - which would be a shame because like I say the staff there are lovely.
Patients, including those who are unwell, elderly, or accompanying children, may find themselves waiting outside in adverse weather conditions to secure an appointment. Arriving early in the morning..

The service provided was disappointing, and the reception experience fell short of expectations. Overall, this visit did not meet a satisfactory standard.
