Shocking, stop blaming covid

October 15, 2025
Shocking, no comment. Hard to get appointments and I can't see why as it's always empty. They need to stop blaming covid now. They get you an appointment for in 2 weeks.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are sorry to hear of your struggles to get an appointment.

All of our appointments are made using the online forms via our website, using the NHS app or by calling the surgery. One of our GP's is triaging all of the forms submitted and will organise the most suitable appointment based on clinical need. If the problem you are presenting with is deemed as something that requires a GP appointment urgently, we have same day appointments available, along with ones for the next couple of days, and then further ahead for routine problems.

Please be assured that we do not have Covid restriction measures in place anymore and haven't done for several years.

If you would like to discuss your concerns further with a member of the Management please contact the Practice directly. Kind Regards, Amy, Operations Manager

Reasonable adjustments

September 10, 2025
Asking for reasonable adjustments, but only if you don’t ask for them to be given. Because the surgery decides what you need. Even if it’s not in the best interest of the patient.

Medication

August 11, 2025
Been on medication for something that didn't even do anything.
This was due to a doctor opening up a discontinued repeat prescription. I have reported it further.

As a patient I was given the runaround, when the receptionist gave me wrong information regarding the pharmacy and my prescription.. Saying it was sent to the pharmacy and then it not being sent. This delayed me getting my medication

Polite, supportive and helpful staff

It was alright a few weeks ago when I went to get help with my depression. It has a lot of students there. A good service delivery and they send referrals quickly. The staff are polite, really supportive and helpful.

Dishonest

July 20, 2025
Registered manager dishonest and not reporting when her management team for negligence towards patients.
Acting without following policies. Not allowing patient choice, and refusing to follow NHS guidelines when dealing with patients.

Can’t get appointments with doctors due to all doctor’s now part time jobs. Surgery’s standards have dropped due to this and poor quality of care and management.

GP always running late due to patients with complex needs they claim. But notice GPs talking behind desk and rushing me because I raised it when I spoke to the receptionist.

Not professional at all.
