Review titled really poor
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 February 2023
i received a call at 5pm the night before asking me to attend the practice in the morning to collect my prescription for insulin. i arrive to collect it and my prescription couldn’t be found. i am asked to wait. after waiting almost 40 minutes i approach the counter to be told the prescription has to be reprinted and cannot be signed until the end of the day. i am not working from home the following days. i hardly use the nhs but having to do as i am pregnant. it really isn’t good enough.

Review titled Don’t bother.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Debra - Posted on 23 February 2023
Rang the surgery yesterday asking to make an appointment to see Dr, I have to wait 5 weeks to be seen. Although it isn’t urgent, still shocking to have to wait 5 weeks to see a Dr. Will be looking to move surgery’s.

Review titled Awful practice
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 17 January 2023
I am writing to express my disappointment with the service provided by Bilborough Medical Centre. Specifically, I have found the reception team to be unprofessional and lazy. On multiple occasions, I have witnessed them ignoring incoming phone calls and, on at least one occasion, I have had the phone hung up on me. While I have had positive experiences with the doctors and nurses at the medical centre, the reception team's behaviour is unacceptable and a significant hindrance to the overall quality of care provided by the facility. I strongly recommend that the reception team be revamped or replaced with a more professional group, or that regular spot checks be conducted to ensure that they are meeting the appropriate standards of behaviour.

Dear Patient, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. Firstly please let me apologise for the delay in responding to your review, I am now the Practice Manager at Bilborough Medical Centre. The behaviour you describe is not what we would want patients at the practice to experience, I am sorry that it happened to you. Some customer service training has already taken place with our reception and administration teams and we will endeavour to undertake further training and spot checks to ensure standards improve. Should you wish to talk to me directly please email nnicb-nn.bilboroughmc@nhs.net and I will get back to you. With best wishes Kayleigh

Review titled Disappointing lack of care
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Andrew Glaves - Posted on 11 December 2022
Tried to get an appointment for my 14-year-old daughter 3 times in the last week. 'Come back at 8.00 o'clock in the morning' is not a reasonable response. When we do go back at 7.50am we are still turned away! Had to spend 6 hours waiting in A&E instead. I understand you are busy, particularly in December, but the queuing system is utterly broken. You really need to do something about it. I cannot, in good faith, recommend that treatment, or lack of, to anyone at the moment.

Dear Andrew, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. Firstly please let me apologise for the delay in responding to your review, I am now the Practice Manager at Bilborough Medical Centre. I’m sorry to hear your experience in December 2022 didn’t meet your expectations. Our urgent on the day appointments are release at 8am, but as you acknowledge demand outweighs supply most days. We are constantly reviewing the structure of our appointment availability to try and increase capacity through a multidisciplinary approach that offers patients appointments with the most appropriate person for their needs. Patient experience and feedback is an important part of making improvements in general practice and I would welcome talking to you about your experience and identifying where we could make further improvements. Please call the practice and leave a message for me to call you back or email nnicb-nn.bilboroughmc@nhs.net. Best wishes Kayleigh

Review titled Very disappointed
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 16 December 2022
I'm really disappointed about this surgery.Lack of staff,rude and unprepared.They don't know nothing.They put you to ring every single day at 8 o'clock just to pick the phone after 40 mins and let you know they don't have any appointments.You can't even book an appointment in 2 weeks time.The receptionist very rude and unhelpful.I don't recommend at all.
