Get me in the same day

January 21, 2025
A two week waiting time is their standard response until I tell them I have cancer and they get me in the same day.

Thank you for leaving your feedback. As previously stated within our feedback responses on this page, the Surgery only has a limited capacity of appointments of which we must triage and signpost effectively based on the presenting symptom(s).
For routine queries of a non-urgent nature, appointment wait times can vary, with the Surgery aiming for these waiting times to be under 2 weeks.

For matters for more urgent attention, the Surgery's administrative team try their best to book a patient as soon as possible. For those patients with compromised immune systems, such as those undergoing treatments for cancer, they would fall into this category.

Kind regards,
West Heath Surgery

Great staff and the care too

January 20, 2025
It's really easy to access appointments and easy to book them. It can be a long wait but it is still shorter than the waits at my previous GP surgery. The staff and the care is great.

Good service

A good service but hard to get to see the GP. You can't preempt when your going to be sick and need an appointment.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback on our page. As a highly busy Surgery, we understand that obtaining an appointment can be difficult however we would like to assure you that the Surgery management team are consistently reviewing our operations and taking actions to improve our efficiency and increase clinical capacity. For the month of December 2024, the Surgery offered 5010 clinical appointments- this is just under 0.5 per patient, with us still looking at improving upon this figure further.
Kind regards,

They're very good

They referred my 6 month old 4 months ago and I kept asking how long it would take but they didn't know. It's a good practice in general. They give good appointments and visit the baby every 2 weeks. They are very good.

You have to wait a while

December 3, 2024
You wait a while when you go there. If I have an appointment at 4:30 I wont get in until at least 20 minutes later. It's not their fault though. You can't get through to them on the phones though.

We are sorry that you have had experienced delays when attending appointments- due to the high variety and increasing severity of clinical presentations at the Surgery, appointments may sometimes be delayed in the cases of medical emergencies.
We are truly sorry when patients experience delays however we hope that you can understand the obligations we have towards patients in urgent medical situations and their care needs when visiting the Surgery.
