Review titled My experience
Rated 1 star out of 5

Near impossible to get an appointment, let alone in a reasonable time. I requested a call back due to being #66 in the queue but by the time the call back is received it’s beyond 12:30 and appointments aren’t being taken. Econsult is time consuming, only to tell you to call anyway. Routine appointments “should be within 4-5 weeks” which is terrible.

Dear Patient, Thank you for taking the time to write your review. I apologise that you had difficulty, in both getting through to us and in obtaining an appointment. I empathise that our phone lines can be busy and can assure you that answering them is our priority with several people assigned to this role. All requests for a GP appointment are triaged by the duty doctor, based on the information given either to the receptionist or via the econsult. If the duty doctor triages your request as routine, this will be added to our waiting list for an appointment. If you do not feel that this meets your needs, you can ask to be triaged again, on a different day. When doing this it is important to try and give as much information as you can to aid the duty doctor in their triaging. Although our message states that a routine appointment should be within 4-5 weeks, in practice this is often sooner. If you have not yet received an appointment, please email me on sxicb-wsx.ltsreception@nhs.net so I can look into this for you. Kind regards Sarah, Deputy Patient Services Manager

The appointment was on time. The procedure was explained and everything went smoothly. Very happy with my experience.

Had a phone call on a Saturday afternoon between Christmas and the New Year. Didn’t feel rushed and my prescription was ready to collect later that day.

The doctor I spoke to was able to deal with my request for referral to another service following a good discussion of the options. Only thing that could have improved the service would have been copying me in on emails to the other services requesting appointments for me

Dear John, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. If you would like a copy of the referral, please email me on sxicb-wsx.ltsreception@nhs.net or speak to the reception team. We will need to run it via the GP before we can then send it on you. Kind regards Sarah, Deputy Patient Services Manager

I went for my pneumonia jab. I waited a couple of minutes and got called in. It took me longer to drive there - not that that’s a problem.

Very friendly and helpful receptionist. Called back by nurse practitioner a few hours later who was able to deal with my medical issue easily and prescribe required medication. Efficient and professional service. Thank you.

Staff are friendly. Was seen by the doctor the same day after the pharmacist said to call you. Doctor was very thorough.

Outstanding service! I visited to have some blood taken for an upcoming gout review! The nurse was exceptionally delicate and I didn’t even feel a scratch! Top marks and thank you!

When ichecked in on the screen it said i needed my temp taken but there was no equipment there to do that or directions to where it was and nowhere to enter the data. I wasn't asked what it was either by the soc. It also said the wait would be 4 mins. The waiting area was empty but i had to wait 30 mins. The experience with the doctor was excellent
