Review titled Left without pain relief
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Julie mc - Posted on 06 September 2024
My husband, a veteran was left with out pain meds all weekend. They said ring 111 if there is an issue. He was told last time after ordering two days early that it was too soon. So this time ordered a day early at 8 am. He rung up the next day and was to,d by a very rude receptionist that it would be Monday. How is his acceptable? And to ring 111 if there is an issue. Where has the care gone? Maybe the staff need better training…. Definitely on the phones. And it says they don’t tolerate language etc but can talk to a patient like they are nothing. Unacceptable in my opinion!

So the staff at Thursby etc had prescribed it but neglected to tell me ????? if i hadnt gone for another reason i would nt have known !!!!! incompetence and arrogance beyong belief.

Review titled Never have appointments ???
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 06 February 2024
Rang up for my daughter due to her having serious throat & mouth infection and the lady at the reception turns round and says we have no appointments you need to take her to hospital, i said why shall i take her to hospital when she has her own GP practice. This place might aswell shut down, absolutely ridiculous.

Review titled What happened to this practice?
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 24 October 2023
Today I spent over an hour as "first in queue", my partner rang after the hour and was put through within five minutes while I was told for the sixty-somethingth time I was "first in queue". Having read other reviews I know this is the way this practice treats its patients now... This used to be a good practise, I know because I have been using it since birth, almost sixty years ago

Review titled Possibly the worst surgery in Burnley
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 24 July 2023
Unsure how Thursby Surgery has so many 5 star reviews as over the past 8 years i have found it to be one of the worst! Wait times on the phone is probably the worst thing about the surgery however when you do eventually get through the staff attitude and general inability to assist is awful. The surgery policies are ridiculous too. Appointments can only be booked for that day. If you require an appointment for another day you have to start ringing from 8.30am that day. As an example i took a morning off work to get an appointment booked. Waited over 40 minutes only to be told the appointments were all booked and to ring again after lunch. Same thing after lunch. No appointments available. Wasted a day off work just to get no further. Policy needs to change. Yes covid restrictions changed a lot but staff attitude and policy needs amending to cater for your patients.

Dear Patient, Thank you for leaving your review. I am sorry for your recent negative experience with the Practice. We have upgraded the telephone system which enables better access however we receive on average 8,500 calls a month and over 450 calls a day. The reception staff do their very best to answer as many as they can and we have introduced the call back function when the queue gets above 15 which will hold your position in the queue, or you can use the online triage consultation via our website if appropriate. Please be assured that all staff are working hard and customer care is and always be at the forefront and we can only apologise if you had a negative experience. If you would like to discuss anything further at all, please could you contact the surgery on 01282 911430 and ask to speak with Lauren our Complaints Mediator who will be happy to investigate your concerns.
