Review titled Doctor listened and supported me

I needed a hernia repair and was put on the list of the local hospital and told I would have to wait up to a year.I had originally requested another nhs provider do the procedure under the patient choice route.This was refused twice by the local panel.I spoke with a doctor at Spencer Road surgery and he agreed that I should be able to choose and he referred me directly.I was seen within a few weeks and had my operation a month later.

Review titled Welcoming and reassuring practice
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Arlene Charlwood - Posted on 15 April 2024
I visited on the 12th for a routine smear test which can sometimes be a daunting appointment. I was met by a very cheerful and reassuring nurse I was instantly relaxed and the procedure the most comfortable one I have ever experienced. Whilst waiting for my appointment I noticed how welcoming and warm the receptionist was to every patient giving each the time they needed. Difficult times within the NHS but for my recent trips I have received excellent care from my surgery and this is very reassuring .

Review titled Excellent advise

I was seen by the muscle and skeletal medic regarding an ongoing Knee problem. His advice was most helpful and I think will be a great help in allowing me to keep active and avoid surgery.

Review titled Arenwood
Rated 1 star out of 5

After a 30 minute hold to be answered by a person that was rude , explained why I needed to see a doctor got told to go to pharmacy, I did , for the pharmacist to tell me to go back to doctor or A&E as they do not dio and prescribe, called doctors again told them this for the woman to argue with me, and offer me an appointment for two weeks time. Absolutely furious and disgusted, being refused an appointment to see my doctor because it didn’t sound urgent , by a person that answers phone calls and is not a doctor themselves , if your that understaffed close the practice

Dear Patient, Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us. I sincerely apologise for the unsatisfactory experience you had whilst attempting to book an appointment with your doctor. The extended wait period on the telephones was following the Easter Bank Holiday which led to a surge in contact to the surgery, causing delays in our response times. I am truly disappointed to learn that you felt our receptionist was rude. This is not in line with our standards of patient care. Our receptionists are instructed by our GPs to handle calls courteously while triaging them to assist our patients with various avenues of support, such as visiting the pharmacy. However, there are situations where matters need to be referred back to the GP. I apologise if you felt you were refused an appointment to see a doctor as your request was deemed not urgent. Please can i ask that to address your concerns and ensure you receive the appropriate care, can you contact the practice at whccg.Arnewoodpractice@nhs.net, providing your name and contact details as I would like to resolve your complaint promptly and thoroughly investigate this issue. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I look forward to assisting you further. Kind regards Helen Annetts Operations Manager

Review titled Amazing GP
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 January 2024
My children each had an appointment with the same dr and he was amazing. He spoke to them as people rather than speaking about them as if they weren't there. My older child was very shy to start with and the dr was playful and really brought him out of his shell. My child said he really liked the dr

Review titled Sympathetic service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Janella - Posted on 14 December 2023
I was pleased to have very good service at the reception desk of The Arnewood Practice. The receptionist was very quick to identify just how stressed I was and was able to organise a second telephone consultation for an elderly member of my family who needed an urgent alteration to a prescription. We have had excellent service from this surgery over what has been a very difficult 2 years.

Review titled Declining Quality
Rated 1 star out of 5

I received a text message asking me to book a blood test at the practice, which I booked. When I arrived the HCA taking my test asked what I needed and said no request had been received from the GP so they could only test for the same things as last year. The results on the NHS app showed six out of the seven tests were abnormal with one result recommending a referral to a specific service. Despite the results I heard nothing from the practice and no referral was made. It's bad enough that patients are asked to attend blood tests with GPs making no effort to confirm what is required, that's a clerical error. To have tests that come back as "abnormal" with a recommended referral that isn't followed up by the practice is unforgiveable.
