Review titled Wrong coded entries on Nhs app
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 11 August 2023
Great that I have the NHS app, because the clinician who called me coded the wrong entries for me. Apparently I have a child. Careless and has a huge impact on my patient record, and still not corrected.

Review titled Relinquish Responsibility
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 07 June 2023
It seems this surgery is getting worse than it was. Now the receptionist rings you to tell you your personal blood test results and advise what diet we should be on. Can't get an appointment with a Dr and you call to speak to health professional at 8am after being in queue for an hour, they call you back at 6pm.

Review titled A bad experience every time
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 27 April 2023
Was completely dismissed several times during the appointment. Doctor was completely uninterested and seemed to think I was making up my diagnosis despite being diagnosed by a different doctor a year earlier. When I was given my prescription it was the wrong medication and I could not use it at all. I was given an external cream that could not be swallowed when what I required was internal medicine. So now I’ve paid for a medication that I absolutely have no use for.

Review titled Telephonic Tedium
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Darren Lee Porter - Posted on 13 April 2023
I need an asthma inhaler every couple of months, but as it's not on repeat prescription, I have to order it by phone. The prescription line is open from 13:30 to 14:15, but I wasn't even able to get in the queue, after calling at least half a dozen times because the lines were busy and the call was automatically ended. I've also recently waited 1.5 hours to order a prescription, as the telephonist who handles such matters decided to leave the office, without letting the other receptionists know. Although, having read a previous review, I now know that I can ask for it in writing, by dropping a note at the surgery, and I'll also request it on repeat, as using the telephone service realy is an ordeal, and it shouldn't be so. The actual GPs are great, but the telephone service is terrible. Regards.

Review titled Doctors great but poor service overall
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 March 2023
I have been with this doctors for years and have seen it go from bad to worse. I am supposed to be on repeat prescription however I am never able to order them myself. They have the prescription line open for 45 minutes but it is never switched on so you can't actually speak to anyone. Most of the doctors here are friendly and helpful but some do let the side down. Depending who answer the phones you can either have someone really helpful or someone who doesn't care and wants you off the phone as quickly as possible. I understand the job isn't easy but some training is clearly required. I would like to see the doctors improve however I wont be holding my breath anytime soon. Like I said there is a great team there but a selected few make the experience horrible and makes me dread calling.

Review titled Awful service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 03 July 2023
I have been a patient of this surgery all my life and it has steadily got to a point where the service is appalling / non existent. Attend the reception to get an appointment to be told to phone them as they cannot book anything at the reception?! Phone and on hold for an hour and when answered told to phone back after lunch. Another hours wait and told no appointments left and call back tomorrow. Despite this being for a new mother having given birth 2 weeks ago. And I’m not sure how you can be diagnosed or examined over the phone because of a refusal to see patients in person!?

Review titled Terrible Service
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 13 March 2023
I called the prescriptions line on 10/03/2023. The line is open from 1.30-2.15. The recorded message told me I was Number 1 in the queue at 1.55 pm. 32 minutes later I was still Number 1. I had to hang up because I was calling in my work lunch hour. This is not the first time this has happened to me. This is just one instance of a terrible service this practice offers. I could go on and on. I would not recommend Stopsley Village Practice to anyone.

Dear Patient Thankyou for your comment and I apologise for the inconvenience. May I advise you that this telephone prescription service is exclusively for elderly patients. We advised all other patients either to request prescription online or to put in request by hand on reception. If you want more information about ordering prescription online please contact practice Kind regards Dr Tahseen
