Every time another GP

December 6, 2023
Every time another GP which is a serious problem for me with a long term and severe problem. Plus that you get simply kicked out after 10 minutes although you still need to talk urgently to the GP. As a result, acute conditions have become long term problems. There is a real impact on my health due to that. I had to explain the same issue to around 6 or 7 different GPs at this practice, and they all come up with different ideas each time?! It’s insane. There is no consistency in the assessment and as a result, insufficient therapy for in my case a severe problem. Patients are passed around in the system with no one feeling responsible and really helping.

Hospital expedite letter not sent

December 6, 2023
Due to severe pain, the hospital advised to get an expedite letter from the GP. After five months of chasing the practice countless times it turned out still nothing has ever been ever sent. And then after 10 minutes you get kicked out from your appointment although the ten minutes were just chasing up the work they didn’t do in the first place. Then you’re being asked to understand that GPs are busy, who understands that I am in severe pain for months and passed around like a parcel! Every day is a struggle with the pain, and yet still you have to work to pay the bills and after 10 minutes you’re told to leave and come again. Feeling really hopeless.

Rubbish service received.

Rubbish service received. I don't even go there at all. I prefer going to A&E at Heartlands or the QE.

Better at communicating

I have used the physiotherapist here and I told them I haven't had any follow up x-ray as yet they told me to call the hospital. They are better at communication.

Dear patient,

Thank you for your feedback and 4 stars. I can understand how frustrating it is to be waiting for a hospital appointment, I can also understand the Physiotherapist advising that you call the hospital. This is because the only information we would be given is that you are on their waiting list. The hospital will not provide us with dates and we are not able to push for this information, therefore, we advise our patients to contact the hospital direct.

Kind regards

Waiting 2 to 3 weeks for an appointment.

November 23, 2023
It's not good. Before when the GP was Boundary Road they were friendly and could get appointments on the day. Now you have to wait 2 to 3 weeks for an appointment and it's hard to see my own GP. I think it is because it's a bigger place and there's more people. They also train young doctors which could explain things but they have got to learn.

No appointments and rude reception staff

November 21, 2023
No appointments at all and reception staff are very rude. They don't want you to to come to the surgery to see the GP.

Very well organised practice.

Because you do everything online, you can book appointments 3 weeks in advance. The GP organise flu vaccines and then they offered the covid vaccine at the same time. All was very good. They are well organised.

I can get a same day appointment

October 23, 2023
They are very good. If I am not feeling good, they give me an appointment on the same day. They send my prescription to the chemist and they deliver it to me. They always try to find out what is wrong with me if I am not feeling well.
