Waiting nearly two hours just to book appointment
Disappointing! I find it difficult to express how dissatisfied I am with this practice. When the broader circumstances are already challenging, attempting to arrange an appointment adds unnecessary frustration and takes up considerable time! On my first attempt, I arrived when the surgery opened at 9am hoping to book a consultation for my health concern. I was informed that walk-in bookings were not permitted, as it would be inequitable to those making telephone enquiries. I was instructed to ring from 08:30 the following day. On my second attempt, I called at 08:30, and after listening to the recorded message, I discovered I was number 15 in the telephone queue. After waiting 50 minutes, I finally reached the front of the queue. A further 10 minutes passed before my call was answered, only to be placed on hold immediately. I then waited an additional 37 minutes while on hold! I would have been interested to discover how much longer the hold would have lasted, but regrettably after 1 hour 37 minutes and 21 seconds, my call was terminated. I made another attempt to contact the reception team to explain what had occurred and enquire about the disconnection while I was on hold. The response I received was that they had been busy. This represents a significant disappointment in terms of service quality.
The vast majority of clinical and administrative staff at this practice are remarkably supportive and consistently make extra efforts to prioritise patient care and address concerns thoroughly. The..

The receptionist who answered the phone was quite abrupt. It seems that essential workers are not the only ones facing challenges during this difficult period. My husband has been working throughout..

This practice has significant difficulties with appointment availability, with no openings appearing to be accessible. I would recommend considering alternative healthcare providers in the area.

It is difficult to secure an appointment at this practice, and the scheduling system does not appear to accommodate those with work commitments.
