Review titled Failure to register
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Tracy H - Posted on 06 August 2024
I have made two attempts at registering with this surgery- once through the NHS website and once through their own website. Both sets of paper work have been lost and I haven’t been able to resister. I’ll go to another local surgery instead. Have had mixed experiences with the people on reception- one person very helpful and polite, the one that I spoke to today was rude and unhelpful.

Review titled Shocking GP system
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 23 August 2022
Its impossible to get an appointment here. You spend anything from 20-45mins, day after day starting at 8am in a queue to get an appointment, to no avail! I got to no.1 today and then the phone went dead, i was fuming after spending a night in pain with little sleep. To book an appointment online for my 15 yr old son from the middle of Aug, 1st available one was 17th October, and this wont even be a face to face one. Personally been having health issues since January 22 and not once have i actually seen a dr in the flesh. This is a totally unacceptable service, and i will be looking to change GPs for my family.

Dear Patient, thank you for your feedback on the practice appointment system and the problems you experienced when ringing the surgery. The practice offers appointments, both face to face and telephone consultations on a daily basis. If all appointments have gone for that day, you will be signposted to an appropriate service or asked to call back the following day for a routine appointment. If you are unsuccessful after 3 consecutive days of attempting to obtain a routine appointment you will be offered a routine appointment for the future. Unfortunately, there can be a wait when trying to contact the surgery at 8am in the morning as this is when all the daily appointments are released, and you will be placed in a queue to speak to a receptionist, but this is on a first come, first served basis. The practice also offers online appointments, and these are released weekly for the following 3 weeks. We have taken on board comments from patients stating they were not aware of the 3-day rule and have now sent texts out to the practice population informing them of the practice appointment protocol. We have also highlighted this in the waiting room, on notice boards and on the practice website. This information can be found at: www.churchviewsurgery.co.uk Your feedback will be discussed at the next Patient Participation Group Meeting and also with the whole practice team at the next practice meeting. I would like to encourage you to join the PPG to put forward any suggestions or new ways of working to the practice. To join the PPG please contact the receptionist on 01384566929. We also run an inhouse complaints procedure. Please contact me on the above telephone number if you wish to discuss this further. Sharon Cooksey (Practice Manager)

Dear Maureen, Thank you for your very positive feedback and kind comments. It's nice to know we're making a difference as the practice is working harder than ever to meet the needs of our practice population. I will pass your feedback on to all members of staff at the surgery. If you are interested in joining our Patient Participation Group to provide feedback and suggestions for improvements for the future please contact Tracy Edwards (Assistant Practice Manager) on 01384566929. Many thanks, Sharon Cooksey (Practice Manager)
