Tower Hill Partnership Medical Practice

My daughter usually sort it for me (appointments). I am too old to have operation. Yes I was placed on medication. The doctor rings my daughter not me. They don’t do house visits and it’s a struggle to get to the doctor. They both live in shared accommodation.

No problem in assessing the GP had cbts on lungs and they sent me for a CT scan. I Have to ring at 8am in a queue and they ring with a doctor.

Separate GP’s good and bad in everything. Use to struggle but not as much trouble. Will use to come out to house. If I needed something for use they will get back in touch.

Overall quite bad, hard to get them on the phone. Hard to get an appointment with a particular doctor. If I can't get them through the phone, I have to go there at 8am in the morning to get an appointment. I do get an appointment, but usually its inconvenient on that day. I cannot book one for a future date. And if I have an emergency, or it happens in the middle of the day, you can't get an appointment. One particular GP helped me get an exterior hearing aid, doctor referred me to Sandwell Hospital, was not a good experience, so they sent me back and sent me to City Hospital.

Was a bit difficult getting help from GP with previous health episode in 2022, I've only had one physical visit the rest have been over the phone, it took me 4 months to get better.

Doctor always comes around whenever there is an issue and she is seen quite quickly. And the doctor comes out at other times to check to see all is okay.

I've managed to see the doctor, they said my blood count was low and they put me on iron tablets. Had a catheter after a while I felt unwell. Doctor came out quite quickly.

Doctors – done my blood test & check, everything normal. Can get appointments regularly.

If there are too many people waiting on the phones, they cut you off. When you do get through, you're number 30. I don' bother calling sometimes. And when they do answer at 8:45am from calling at 8am, there were no appointments and told me to see my pharmacist. The pharmacist suggested a face to face consult with a GP. When I rang the GP the next day, they phoned me back later on in the day but I think that was only because I told them I had spoken to a Pharmacist. When I did speak to the doctor, they did confirm what I thought was wrong with me, so it was helpful in that sense.

They’re really good. Having flu jabs and Covid jabs.
