Review titled Contact and general communication
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Donna - Posted on 06 June 2024
contacted e-consult with health issues regarding my husband. I did not hear anything back so I called the receptionist who told me someone would call my husband that late evening. Nobody has yet to get back in touch with my husband; it has now been 4 days since no communication with my husband and the fact that he is still unwell

Review titled eConsult great waste of time!!!
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Rumiana - Posted on 26 October 2023
I tried to "book" an appointment through the eConsult system, absolute waste of time- I was only trying to get an appointment with the physio! After wasting my time with circular algorithms, the thing told me I could go no further and need to speak to a person. Off I went to call reception, only to be on hold for 50minutes at ' You are fifth in line". I then emailed reception and asked for a callback, specifying that I'd like an appointment with the physio preferably before 9am as I had no luck booking via telephone and the eConsult system. All I got was a robotic response that I need to call or use the eConsult system. Absolutely abysmal! Considering I have seen that the practice literally waits for people to ring at the door for their 8.10am appointments ( thus making them late, and in turn, making all appointments delayed for the day), it seems "efficiencies" through external apps and systems are making things worse.

Review titled Smear test harrassment
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 October 2023
Despite opting out of the cervical screening program following an informed decision, I've been really disappointed to receive 9 text messages in the space of just 4 months instructing me to book this test over the summer. This is completely unacceptable and fails to recognise the many valid reasons women give to opt out. Clearly the opt out process doesn't work and there is a glitch in the system somewhere. Regardless, there is no acceptable explanation for bombarding women with instructions (just 4 days apart) to undergo such an invasive examination but it is particularly poor that this practice does not respect women's right to informed consent and their decision to opt out.

Dear Patient, Thank you so much for your feedback. My name is Sue O'Donnell and part of my role is to investigate complaints about our practice. I am so sorry for the problems you have had in receiving invitations for cervical smears having opted out of the program. I would very much like to investigate why this has happened as we have a very clear opt-out procedure which does respect the rights of patients to opt-out of any program. In order to investigate this properly, I would need to know who you are so I can check our register for your opt-out notification. Please could you contact the surgery by email swlicb.bbgpadmin@nhs.net and mark for attention of Sue O'Donnell and I will look at this matter immediately. Many thanks

Honestly feel I won the postcode lottery being in the catchment area of this practice. The staff are always professional and helpful, and the service is excellent.

Review titled GP Appointments
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 09 September 2022
I have noticed that when we are seeing the Doctor, and they make another appointment in their system, we do not receive any slip to confirm our appointment date and times, but are expected to remember the date and time. It would be helpful if we can receive a printed slip of next appointment so we don't forget. Can I also recommend that with the online appointment booking service that as well as booking appointments, we can also see what future appointments are already booked with us and with whom. Both suggestions will be helpful for the patient and also for Brocklebank to reduce the number of missed appointments.

Dear Patient, Thank you for your feedback on printed reminders when an appointment is made by a doctor. It is true that when seeing a doctor they will not print off appointment slips, this is because most appointments are arranged by reception who do have appointment label printers. The doctors do not have these but if you want a print of your appointment, staff a reception will be happy to print one for you. All appointments made in advance also have a text reminder sent 24 hours before the appointment day and time. The online system does actually show you any future appointments booked if you are using the app. You will be able to find details of any booked appointments in the Your appointments section of the Patient Access App or if you are using the NHS App future appointments can be found in the Appointments section. If you do not have access via either of these again staff at Reception would be happy to print off future appointments which have been booked for you. I do hope that this helps and thank you for taking the time to feedback to the practice.
