Lordswood House Group Medical Practice

V-consult was hopeless. Near impossible to get through on phone. Absurdly reluctant to see patients even when necessary and both doctor and patient fully vaccinated. Some patients do need to be seen!

Making an appointment is extremely difficult. 30-40 minute wait on phone is common. No other way of making appointments. On-line suspended. No times given for call backs. Old frail people having to wait outside with minimal shelter. When you do get to see a practitioner care is good.

good

Very very impressed with the organisation of the Covid vaccination service.

Hardly ever have to use it, but when I do , there are no problems

Positive. Switch to online wasn't smooth but receptionists were very helpful in explaining & provided information

Very difficult to contact.

Difficult to contact, impossible to actually see anyone.

Needing to book a telephone consultation, I rang the practice and was told that my call could not be answered as the practice was at full capacity and couldn't take any more calls.

It's been very good - we have had to attend for blood tests, but it has been very difficult getting through to the surgery on the telephone, often having to hang on for half-an-hour in the "queue". Whilst we understand about all the Covid precautions they are taking at the surgery, it really isn't much fun standing outside the surgery, often in the cold and wet, waiting to be called in by the nurse. We have also made telephone consultation appointments with our GP, but those have been absolutely fine, no complaint about that.
