Dear Patient,
We have recently updated our Practice website, so you may find that this is now more useful for Practice links, booking appointments and patient self help. Test results can be available if you have the NHS App or Patient Access.
We do not email confidential information to non-Nhs Email addresses.
I hope these recent improvements are favourable for you.
Thank you
The Practice Manager

1 month wait for appointment

April 24, 2023
I was referred from the GP to the hospital. It's taken around 4/5 weeks, better to be quicker. The surgery itself is not good. I had to wait 1 month for a telephone consultation. If you want a face to face appointment you have to go into the surgery and book it, You then have to tell the receptionist all your information, it feels like an interrogation.

Dear Patient,
I am sorry to hear that you have had a wait with your referral. Hospital appointments are taking longer currently due to demand on services.
You are able to book a face to face appointment without attending the Surgery. You can book one via the telephone. The Receptionist may ask for a brief reason to inform the GP and direct appointments to the appropriate person. If you do not want to say, then that is respected. If you have any further concerns at all, please do contact me at the Practice.
Thank you
The Practice Manager

Long time to get an appointment

March 17, 2023
Nice when you get there, Long time to get an appointment. Got cut off after waiting 20 minutes then it took 25 minutes to get through again. 50% of the time you get an appointment. It’s not receptionist fault, they are trying their best.

Useless

March 6, 2023
I've had to wait 3 weeks for an appointment for a doctor to send some paperwork. The doctors have since refused to sign this medical paperwork. They're useless.

Dear Patient,
I'm sorry to hear you are not happy with the service received from the Practice.
If the paperwork was Non NHS Paperwork then it can take longer to process and a GP may not always be able to complete. If you would like to discuss this further, I would be happy to talk through your concerns with you.

Everything is on the appointment

January 26, 2023
GP referral to appointment took 5 months. I understand why it’s taken that time. They are really bad. Everything is on the appointment, hard to get an appointment. Make you ring before 9AM to get an appointment it doesn’t work.

They are all lovely

November 28, 2022
They are all lovely. One Dr is my favourite. She is very kind. I get the help that I need. Not as easy as it used to be getting appointments because of Covid. Luckily I have had face to face but one appointment has been over the phone.
