Review titled Insensitive nurse
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 05 September 2024
I was asked to come in for the NHS health check. I was given no information ahead of time of what would be done in this check and I left feeling that I was just being checked to add to some stats rather than being cared for. I didn’t know that I was going to be weighed or that the weigh in was going to be used to calculate my BMI. I have dysmorphia and I try to avoid things like this because it sends me down a bad path. I haven’t seen the BMI since high school where it first traumatised me. I tried to tell the nurse that I had dysmorphia and to please stop using language like “overweight” and “obese” and he just continued along and tried to remedy things by comparing my weight now to my last weigh in to show that I have lost weight and said that if I “worked a little bit harder” I could get in the “normal” range. The reason I have lost weight is because I haven been very depressed and I pretty much stop eating when I’m depressed. Not because I’ve been really active and healthy. How much more depressed do I need to be to get my weight down that last bit??? I think this nurse could do with some training around how to talk to women about their bodies.

Dear Patient, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologise that your recent experience did not meet your expectations and that you felt the nurse was not sensitive to your concerns. As part of the NHS Health Check, it is important to assess weight and BMI and discuss any necessary interventions to support overall health. However, we understand that this topic can be sensitive, and we are truly sorry that this was not handled in a way that felt supportive to you. The nurse has reflected on your comments and will be more mindful in the future of the sensitivities surrounding discussions about weight and BMI, particularly when individuals express concerns about the impact of such conversations. We want to reassure you that the NHS Health Check is not just a statistical exercise but a valuable assessment of your overall health. Its purpose is to help identify potential underlying health conditions early, allowing us to provide the necessary support and interventions to improve your well-being. We are also reviewing how we provide information about what to expect during these checks to ensure all patients feel prepared and comfortable. Thank you again for your valuable feedback; it helps us improve our services and ensure every patient feels cared for and respected. Kind regards, Agnieszka Polej Deputy Manager

Had a great postnatal appointment with a a Doctor at 6 months postpartum (I’d had my 6 week one). A thorough appointment that checked mental as well as physical health. I was able to see a physio the same day and also get a blood test book in for a few days later.

Review titled Fantastic support and reassurance
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by A thankful mother - Posted on 30 August 2024
I recently took my young child to have a check over as I was worried about her having a certain condition. The Dr and then subsequent nurses I saw at this appointment for incredibly supportive and reassuring and just brilliant as we went through the steps of the procedure which confirmed my initial suspicions of the condition whilst at the surgery. The dr who saw us was patient and knew what to say when. She was able to arrange us to be seen at hospital immediately and later followed up with phone calls to check in on us. I will be forever grateful for their kind and caring words I received at the time and post diagnosis. The surgery is a great setup and I don’t have issues in arranging appointments for seeing my children. I myself have been with this practice since childhood and cannot see myself changing surgeries. Thank you springhill!

Review titled Super smooth blood test
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Jason Brewer - Posted on 24 August 2024
I visited the practice for a routine blood test - it was my third bloods experience these with this particular practitioner. I’ve been having unexpected trouble with blood tests recently - trouble involving fainting. I was made to feel comfortable and safe with some soothing chat. 10/10 would blood test again! In reality I have blood tests quite regular because of the type of medication I’m on, so I have little choice. But I’m glad that element of restricted choice means I get to have blood tests at Spring Hill. Krikey, Incredible Mate!
