Hard to get a face to face appointment
November 21, 2022
They're okay but seeing a doctor face to face is a problem. Had a problem for 48 hours and they rang me back eventually but I had already gone to the hospital as the pain had gotten worse. The next day I received a text which told me to make an appointment with the GP to discuss the results they had recieved from the hospital, they couldn't give me one for 2 weeks and that was over the phone. I also needed a scan on my kidneys as I had a serious infection, the doctor didn't follow this up with tests. That took a long time and I waited since September and had blood tests done yesterday.

The doctor is good. He has had special needs training. He has said he would be able to come out to administer my daughters vaccine too.
Unable to get appointments
June 22, 2022
Phone lines are open in afternoon but be set any appointments left. Why won’t they take appts for the next day? Even a telephone appt?
We are all fed up with the dreaded 8.30am phone system.

Awful, can’t get through for days. Appointments never available, my daughter had urinary infection but she couldn’t have medicine because there was no Face to face appointment available.

Service has been very good

The automated system works very well and I have found you are called back promptly. Due to my sons needs he is unable to communicate via video call and we have always managed to get face to face appointments. The receptionists have also been helpful and efficient.
Very rare face to face

Very rare face to face, very, very few appointments and endless phone calls to achieve one.
Used to be wonderful.

Used to be wonderful. Now like all other GP’s almost impossible to get through on phone, and vetted by receptionists. We want majority of appts face to face. So many Doctors now part time - I think at this Practice. They are no doubt working very hard but making patients wait outside in bitter cold weather and rain is awful.
