No online booking facility

Excellent surgery but sppinsystem is horrendous. No online booking facility so have to call up at 8.30am....online plus triage online would bring this surgery into the 21st century

Only getting 1 ventolin inhaler

August 7, 2020
I always got 3 Ventolin's on one prescription and suddenly the last 2 times I only got 1 for £9.50. I travel abroad a lot so buy them abroad for 2 euros, also only having 1 means if I loose it I could be in severe danger. My last review was with Nurse during lockdown.

GP listens to me and understands my condition

March 12, 2019
GP listens to me and understands my medical condition. Able to recognise when I am unwell and makes fast referrals to specialist support. GP prescribed new asthma medication to me and then called me to make sure the medication was working and I am OK. Fast appointment system and online system allows me to organise and get repeat medication quickly. Administration is very good. Medical tests are handled well and results given quickly.

Good surgery/ difficult to get appointment

November 15, 2018
My GP surgery is very busy but they always treat me with respect. It is difficult to get a routine appointment but if you need an emergency appointment then they will try their best to fit you in and if they can’t, they link you to walk-in partnership with another GP surgery.

Dear Patient,
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the Healthwatch Birmingham site.

I understand that sometimes it can be difficult to book a routine appointment, especially when demand is high during the Winter months. I am pleased that you are happy with the care the Practice provides.
Kind regards,

Needed more help

September 18, 2018
I went to see my GP in March 2017 as I had a lot of pain in my stomach. I then found out that I have gallstones & kidney stones and I need an operation. I still haven’t had the operation as I am really afraid of going ahead with it. Through my other experiences in hospitals. I have witnessed that people are not always dealt with dignity, and I want to be reassured that this wasn’t be the case when I have my operation. I have also got a real phobia of the operation – fear of dying. It’s so bad I had to cancel the operation once already. On two other occasions I have had to cancel as I haven’t had anyone to look after my caring responsibilities. I went to see my GP to talk to them about my fear & phobia, but I felt very childish doing so. They just referred me to Mind mental health support, but even that has a really long waiting time. It is not really what I want. I just want to talk to the hospital to get them to reassure me that I will be fine. Right now I am in limbo not knowing what to do, and I am in lot of pain.

Dear Patient,

I am sorry to hear of your phobia and anxiety relating to your scheduled operation. I can understand the frustration waiting to be seen by the support services. Have you spoken to the Consultant's secretary about your fears? The hospital may be able to provide a further appointment to discuss the procedure and your concerns or do so at your pre-op appointment.
I hope that you find the reassurance you need to go ahead with your operation,
Regards, The Practice Manager

unable to book routine appointments

August 8, 2018
Phone call today to myself I was told Dr has asked for you to book in to see him and the next available appointment is 31st August .
Me “ I can’t do that date but I could do 5th or 6th September “
Receptionist “ so sorry i can’t book that far in advanced “

This is an ongoing issue where by patients are unable to book routine planned appointments and are told to phone in the morning to get an urgent appointment if you wish to be seen sooner .
My problem is not urgent I can wait I don’t want to take an urgent slot . I work and have three children I am busy I would lIke to be able to have a bit of planning around my appointments where possible.

Dear Patient,
I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the appointment booking system. I am unable to respond directly to you as the comment is left anonymously.
Patients are usually able to pre book appointments up 4 weeks ahead with the Doctor. We do not pre book later than this as in previous times, when it was 6 weeks , it increased the DNA (did not attend) rate as patients forgot appointments too far ahead.
The Urgent clinics are for patients who need to be seen on the day or who have a problem that cannot wait until the next routine appointment. We also offer on day and pre bookable appointments at our local hub, Riverbrook, which is open 7 days a week.
I would be happy to speak to you if you have any further concerns.

Kingsfield medical centre is good. Should offer more flexible appointments for working people and families.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review for Kingsfield.
I am pleased that you have rated your care as good.
With regards to more flexible appointments, we are attached to 4 local surgery hubs, where we can offer patients late night and weekend appointments at these local hubs. These appointments can be with a GP, nurse or HCA.
When our clinics are full each day, we then utilise appointments at the local hubs for patients to attend. Please see our Practice website for more information on our appointment system.
I hope this helps.

The Practice Manager
