Review titled Great Experience
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 01 November 2023
I am a new patient at this practice and I was extremely impressed with all the staff during my first visit. The receptionists on the phone and at the practice were so welcoming and helpful, the nurse who did my blood test was so lovely and did such a great job and the doctor I saw for my initial consultation was super helpful and knowledgable, but still approachable and kind. I never leave reviews but I would like to give credit where it is due. Thanks so much!

Review titled Let patient speak
Rated 5 stars out of 5

I have never had a problem with this practice. But would like to give feedback. I called to arrange appt for my father of 91yrs old just out of hospital. I was 36 in Que got to number 11 and called dropped so I called back and was in number 21 again. When I got through I said letting you know my father home from hospital and before I could say anything else the reception interrupted me by saying we will get a discharge letter as if I was waisting her time. I was the one on the telephone over an hour . I was to make appt for bloods to be checked if she had let me finish. Take time and listen

Dear Anonymous Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback on your experience with the Practice. I am sorry that you had a problem, please be assured that we take all feedback seriously. We are aware that currently there is a wait for calls to be answered and we are currently looking at ways to reduce the wait times, including ensuring all staff are manning the phones at peak times. I am sorry that the Care Navigator cut you short and made you feel that you were wasting her time. I have fed your comments back to our Care Navigator Manager in an effort to ensure that this doesn't happen again. Thank you for leaving feedback it enables the Practice to reflect and learn to enhance the services we offer.

Review titled Restricting Acess to Appointments
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 08 September 2022
Since removing ask my GP there is a link to click on the website if you don't want to wait hours on the phone to book an appointment It's a shame this link always say they are 'Out of Hours' so you can't actually book an appointment without ringing For the last 40 mins there has been 'over 10 people in the queue' yet I can't book an appointment any other way...

Dear Patient Thank you for leaving feedback on our appointment system. As you are aware we no longer use Ask My GP but are now using AccuRx, which is an alternative online service which can be used to book routine GP/Nurse Practitioner appointments. If you feel you need to be seen on the day then currently you do have to call the practice. You can also use Patient Access to book Flu vaccines, NHS Health checks and long term condition appointments. We appreciate that currently are telephone lines are extremely busy and we ask that you are patient with us. Should you wish to discuss anything further then please do not hesitate to email the practice on lscicb-mb.a82026@nhs.net and I would be happy to help. Thank you again for leaving feedback it enables to the practice to reflect and learn to enhance the services we offer. Kind Regards Donna Reed Practice Administrator.
