Service feels a bit impersonal

September 8, 2023
I moved surgery because they merged and its now a big medical centre. Covid changed the service an awful lot. I have to call to get an appointment and it's usually over the phone, which I understand. They will see the kids in an emergency. They make you book online via an e-consult and then someone gets back to you, it all feels a little impersonal since they've gone bigger. They did do a consultation with the patients before merging but I think they had already made their decision.

Dear patient
Thank you for your feedback. We read and take all feedback very seriously and try our level best to use it to improve our services. I’m very disappointed to read that you feel that CG feels impersonal, this is the last thing we want our patients to feel!

You can still book a routine appointment with a Dr of your choice, as long as your appointment is not of an urgent nature, in which case you would see the first Dr available.
Using the v-consult is an online booking system that many patients prefer to use, however, if you are not comfortable with this, you can still call the surgery or if you’re able, you can pop in and arrange an appointment.

The merging of the three surgeries has enabled CG to become a very successful teaching practice with much more services to offer our patients. You can search our website for a list of our services or you can come into the surgery and have a chat to one of the reception team, who will be more than happy to assist you.

I hope you have found my reply of some help.
Kind regards

See me fairly quickly

Good surgery, see me fairly quickly or I can talk to a GP / receptionist about an issue first to see whether I need a follow on appointment. They are approachable and I feel listened to.

Dear patient
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I am not sure what your wife's appointment is for, but can I ask you to ring the surgery, or drop in and explain the situation please?

Kind regards

Can get appointments.

So far, so good. I can get appointments but I haven't seen my midwife there in a while. Not sure why but I've got an appointment this afternoon so I'll ask her then.

Thank you for your feedback.

I do hope your appointment with the midwife went well. However, if you still have concerns about not seeing the midwife, please contact me or the surgery so we can address and rectify this issue for you.

Please note, my working week is generally Wednesday, Thursday and Friday but you can also email me at joan.beddows@nhs.net

We appreciate your comments and 4 stars.

Good when I have appointment with them. Good staff and doctors. They are more accessible through the Livi App and tell their patients to use this to get appointment quicker.

Good, really good. Able to get appointment, they're really good. I go online and put in my symptoms and you can send photos and the next day someone will send a message with information on what to do next.

Can get same day appointments

June 5, 2023
Sometimes they're alright, other times can get an appointment. I call at 8am and can get an appointment on that day. They ask me whether I want a face to face or over the phone appointment.

Dear patient

Thank you for the 5 star rating

Thank you for pointing our that we always give our patient the choice of a face to face or telephone consultation. So many of our patients find the telephone consultations much more convenient for them due to work commitments.

Remember, you can also use the Vconsult to book an appointment, instead of having to call the surgery early

No information provided about PCOS

May 24, 2023
No help or information provided from the GP's about Polycystic ovary syndrome, they just expect me to speak with a gyneacologist rather than them.
