  1. Review titled Hopeless

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 05 October 2024

    I can not get any appointments!! If i am unwell, i will get sent to 111 by unhelpful receptionists and incompetent clinicians. Even if i get through, i will be seeing paramedics and nurses who have no clue what they are doing. I was bounced back and forth between a variety of paramedics and nurses none of them have a clue about complicated issues and they seem so helpless amd overworked. All I have heard is them saying that the appointment should not have been booked with them 'oh sorry you should not have been sent to us, triage doctor must have made a mistake'. I suppose that is what their GPs are good for , sending patients to staff who is not able to deal with your issues. And off I go , back in line, hoping to get another appointment. Anema is in absolute shambles. I don't know who is incharge of this triage but it does not work

    Flu vaccination / large number of people but queue moved very quickly. Nurse was very polite asking relevant questions - I didn’t even feel the needle’

  3. Review titled Flu vaccine

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Brenda Balcombe - Posted on 08 October 2024

    As always the whole procedure went like clockwork and I cannot fault it in anyway. From the moment I was invited to make an appointment to reminding me to attend and then the actually day. Well done everyone!

  4. Review titled The Worst practice

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 10 October 2024

    This place is the absolute worst! Don't even think about registering here. You'll never get an appointment. I moved here a while ago and I'm so shocked at how bad the service is. My old doctor was so quick to respond, but here you have to wait weeks just to talk to someone. I'm definitely switching doctors soon.

  5. Review titled Flu jab well organised

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Alan Tait - Posted on 08 October 2024

    Joined several hundred others for my flu jab on Saturday morning. The volunteers were excellent as were the nurses carrying out the jabs. Very well organised event. Although appointment times were being ignored and it was a first come first served service I was seen my appointment time and only had to queue for about five minutes. Congratulations to all involved

    My husband and I went for our flu jabs on Saturday. Our hearts sank when we saw the queue but the system was quick and efficient. The staff were very friendly and professional. I

  7. Review titled Very Caring

    Rated 5 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 10 October 2024

    The staff at the surgery are very caring and professional in their attitude to the patient. Should one have a problem that could be serious they pull out all the stops to get the necessary treatment as quickly as possible. I had a problem with a set of blood results and the doctor checking the results phoned me while I was driving to go through the next steps. They also phoned me again to check that their referral had gone through and I was going to have treatment quickly.

  8. Review titled How is it this bad

    Rated 1 star out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 17 October 2024

    I’ve been trying for over a week to make an appoint, using anima (which is never available) and calling at 8am. Called during the day to be told the system only allows non urgent booking to be made between 10am and 10.30. Where is this information publicised anywhere ? It feels as if it’s all just made up, and not actually supporting community needs. The booking systems are a nightmare.

  9. Review titled Waste of gp time

    Rated 3 stars out of 5

    by Anonymous - Posted on 08 October 2024

    All I needed was a referral for repeat bone scan. Both the doctor and myself felt that waiting 8 days for a telephone conversation was unnecessary as this was purely an administrative task, so wasting the doctor’s precious time and delaying referral by the week.
