Review titled The Best Surgery/Doctors/Nurses around
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Maria Barber - Posted on 04 September 2024
Sorry I did write the names of Drs and nurses and prescription team who help , but it’s not allowed so… All the Drs , nurses at the practice , prescription team and the Nurses that come to my home to give me my Im sickness jab. These are all the people that help me every single week. I think this practice gets a really rough break. These are normal people also that have days like us. People forget that, without this group of people helping me with my illnesses, one being very rare, I would be in a mess , I’ve lost a lot to these ailments, I’ve gone from everything to nothing. They’ve helped me with pain management team, mental health also, I have such a fear of the hospitals now on how they treat patients, I will never enter one again. So we do our best to keep me with tolerable pain and my sickness under control at home. I am grateful and so happy that we still have a surgery as there are less and less people entering the medical field. I want to say thankyou to everyone that helps me , it’s true it does take a village. So maybe before you write a bad review or go on the phone annoyed , take a breath and just think it could be one of your family on the end of that phone !!

Review titled Compassionate Care
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 12 June 2024
I had an appointment for a blood test with Phlebotomist. In recent years I have struggled to have my blood taken and often feint, which causes me a great deal of anxiety going into these appointments. The practitioner took my concerns seriously, found me a room with a bed (instead of a chair) and distracted me with good conversation. This made a huge difference to me, their compassionate approach meant I didn't feint or feel at all uneasy, which is unheard of for me and blood tests! As a result I now have a good experience to lean on if I need similar tests in the future - their care didn't just impact me in that appointment, but going forward, which is invaluable! Thank you so much!

Review titled Great Doctor and Appointment Team
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Cindy Parry - Posted on 13 June 2024
I was reluctant to speak to a male Doctor at first. But the doctor was very easy to talk to about menapause. He was very knowledgeable, very helpful, but most of all he has given me hope and restored my faith in the NHS. There is a lady in the appointments team at sure medical has restored my faith in human kind. Thank you so very much.

Dear Cindy, Thank you so much for posting a review about your consultation with one of our male doctors regarding the menopause. I am glad to hear that despite your reluctance to see a male doctor, you left the consultation with hope which has restored your faith in the NHS. The doctor you saw was knowledgeable and very helpful. Additionally, you mention that a member of our staff from the appointments team has also restored your faith in human kind. Your feed back is very much appreciated and will be shared with the doctors and staff at the practice. Anne Holburn patient Liaison Deputy Manager

Can't ever bookan appointment in advance. Told me to go to my local pharmacy. When I explained this I was given an appointment. Great were getting somewhere oh no because I was late by 20 mins "stuck in School time traffic" I was refused to be seen and told to go to a pharmacy again. This bunch of inept fools need there heads wobbled.

Dear Patient I am sorry you were not able to book an appointment in advance. All our appointment are triaged through our online system called Klinik. This ensures that patients are assessed and offered an appointment according to need. Unfortunately, despite obtaining an appointment, you arrived 20 minutes late and could not be seen as other patients were waiting who had arrived on time. You were advised to seek pharmacy advice.

Review titled Great support
Rated 5 stars out of 5

The GP called as expected and took her time to understand what I needed, check results and provide supportive care for the sensitive situation I was facing. She had up to date knowledge and was able to offer insights based on it. Not only that, she had remembered/checked notes for facts about me and brought these into the conversation. I felt heard, like I mattered and so it felt truly personal and individual. I feel like I am under her care rather than just a number.

Review titled It is no longer possible to recommend this practice.
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 April 2024
After my GP reviewed my monthly blister pack repeat prescriptions a mistake was made and my bumetanide (water) tablets dosage were incorrectly increased. This sadly caused a surprising amount of problems. I believe this mistake was made in November 2023. I was made aware of this mistake by my domiciliary carers in December but didn’t bother the surgery as due to Christmas they requested that only serious issues to be raised until after the new year, so I kindly respected this request. I took advise from Nhs 111 and discarded the additional pills. Then in the new year I called and requested that the mistake be rectified and my blister packs be returned to the correct dosage. I was assured this would be done and told that the next blister pack would be correct, or if not this month then definitely the following month. Sadly the next month blister packs were again wrong. I called again and once more was informed that next month the blister pack would be correct. Sadly again this was not true and the packs were again filled with the incorrect dosage. I called the pharmacist who confirmed the error must be resolved by the Gp and to discard the unwanted dose. Every month I have asked for the mistake to be corrected. I have even spoken to the surgery manager and she has assured me that this month (April) the blister packs will have the correct dosage. Well guess what…yet again they have the wrong dosage! I have very little idea of what more I can do to get my medication dosage to be correct. It worries me greatly that this error could possibly be occurring to many patients who have not been made aware that they are taking the wrong dose of medication. After all one would imagine that the medical doctors would be capable of administering the correct dose of medication and when an error has been brought to there attention with the advise of a 111 medical doctor then they would be vigilant in rectifying this potentially life threatening mistake. Hopefully this is just a one off error but it really does concern me that after I have brought this error to the attention of the surgery on many occasions that they would actually do what they keep saying and make good the error they have made. I have even spoken to a very helpful medical doctor working for NHS 111 who very kindly explained why and how the error was made, and also advised that I must break open the blister packs and remove the extra dose and to tell the surgery to rectify the mistake they keep making. This also does seem a waste of our taxes paying for medication that I throw away, and also the time I have to keep calling to ask time and time again for them to do as myself and the medical doctor from 111 asks them to do. I am trying to find another surgery to move to as I have lost all trust in this surgery. Such a shame as I have been with Wessex Road for over fifty years but sadly now they are Shore Medical I can’t recommend them anymore. Personally I would not risk joining this practice.
