Review titled Amazing practice nurse
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 26 June 2024
I met with a Practice Nurse dh - today for an examination I was really nervous about. The Practice Nurse was not only calm, approachable and friendly but also really informative and professional. The Practice Nurse was kind, reassuring and displayed nothing but compassion throughout the procedure. An absolute credit to the GP surgery. Thank you so much for your help and support.

Review titled Horrible service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 March 2024
I booked an appointment and had a call from the GP the same day but missed it due to a dentist appointment I had. Tried to call three times 10 minutes after I missed the call as it was urgent and it said ‘you are now 2nd in the queue’ and the call would end as soon as I wasn’t 2nd in the queue anymore.

Review titled Pointless remaining with this practice.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by A.Cheetham - Posted on 18 July 2023
It doesn’t matter on what particular day one tries to get an appointment at this surgery, the only way to do so is to complete a form. In the time it takes to complete this form (one can’t do it in advance), all appointments have been allocated and have gone. This can be in as little as 5 minutes. The service is appalling. No wonder the A&E departments are overburdened. The system of allocation of appointments at this practice needs investigating. In the meantime, my advice to any member of the public wishing to seek a GP appointment, is to go to practice where getting an appointment is less like winning the national lottery.

I’m very sorry to hear about your experience, and I understand your frustration. Since implementing the total triage system, we’ve made several improvements to make it more effective and accessible for our patients. We have extended the availability of the online form to allow more time for patients to complete it. Additionally, we’ve invested in a new, improved website that provides information on other community resources available when we are not. For urgent matters, patients can call the surgery directly during working hours, and we will ensure your needs are addressed. We are continually working to improve our service and hope you will have a more positive experience moving forward. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Best regards,

Review titled Unable to book a blood test at reception
by AKA - Posted on 09 March 2023
Saw a clinician for an appointment and they advised patient to go to reception to book in for some bloods. When we asked at the reception, the receptionist stated they couldn’t do this - their sole job is to book GP appointment and anything else they can’t do! They stated I needed to go home and ring the Practice so someone else could book an appointment for bloods! And this was the system they have in place - you cannot book for a bloods appointment in person! No concern as to whether I had access to a phone or the credit to even ring - how is this an acceptable practice to have in operation? I then asked to speak to manegement - I was told that this wouldn't be possible, making things even more ridiculous! I have been told that others have had issues with getting to speak to senior practice staff as well. Surely you can do better than this - a reception that can only book GP appts, and patients unable to speak to anyone in charge.

Review titled Should be shut down immediately
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 December 2022
This surgery should have closed down ages ago. They should shut down this surgery immediately. It’s been a week I filled out the appointment form for my 5 year old daughter and until now no one has called back. Every time I call they say someone will call with a really bad manners. The receptionist is very rude.

Review titled Just go private
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 December 2022
They have new system! On line form to fill in from 8am - 10am for them to assess then they contact you later that day. Not everyone is on line or able to do this However no point as each day they decide what time to turn the system off. Total Mis information day in day out. Tried filling form in Monday - system switched off 9.40am Rang reception told try day after. I did. No joy system turned off at 9am. Rang reception “oh we closed on line early as we having staff training”. Didn’t they know that the day before? Why not mention it then. Tried day after system turned off at 9.30am. Rang again. “Oh we turned system off early as we had a lot of forms”. During these three days I tried to get an appointment my grandson aged eight was ill. high temperature sore throat etc. no joy with out of hours service. They don’t even answer due to high call volume. No way would I go to A & E and wait for 12 hours at least so we paid £69 for a private appointment at an urgent care centre this side of Manchester We were seen straight away an given a private prescription for another £20 on a Friday night at 7pm. Ha! They even offered us tea an coffee an the doctor we saw was in no rush and took time to listen an thorough examination given strep A is going round. I would urge any one that can afford to pay to use this service an give your support to services like this do so, if only to help you keep sane an stop you having a mental breakdown dealing with people that clearly need more that one day staff training
