Bad

Terrible service and impossible to book appointments

Complete disappointment. Scheduling an appointment is a nightmare that drags on for days or even weeks. I've spent nearly half an hour on hold, from 7:55am to 8:25am, without getting any response to my calls. This medical practice is a total farce, with receptionists who seem to do nothing but gossip while completely ignoring incoming phone calls!! Steer clear of this place at all costs.

Please accept our apologies for this morning, we had a major service disruption with phones down at both sites and clinical systems down at the Alkrington Practice. Our phones become active at 8am every weekday so please do not call until 8am as you will not get through. As for after 8am, the phones are busy and we do deal with a high number of calls. If you have specific experience of seeing/hearing reception staff talking socially rather than answering calls, please either write to us or ask to speak with the Practice Manager. Phones are supposed to be answered as a priority and if this is not happening we need to know why. We are sorry that you feel our surgery to be a joke and would like to do all that we can to help. One thing that I would suggest if you hate the phone system and constantly have problems with it, would be to sign up to patient access, through which you can book appointments and order prescriptions. Whilst I cannot guarantee you will find all the appointments you need via patient access, it does at least allow you some flexibility as to how and when you contact the surgery. If you would like to discuss anything further please either write to the Practice Manager, or contact the surgery and ask to speak with her. -James, Project Manager
