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.
Kind regards,

Never had any problems with them

July 16, 2024
I've been with them for years. I've never had a problem with getting an appointment. They are okay with patients care for dementia. The doctor called and checked if he was still okay to drive. They got in touch quickly. Every practice should have a dementia specialist. Had a dementia review in March with the nurse but it was like the blind leading the blind.

Unhelpful information

July 16, 2024
They said I would have to wait for a letter to come through for a referral and I asked how long. They said they didn't know, which was unhelpful for me.

We apologize that the information provided to you regarding a referral was found to be vague and unclear. When dealing with and processing referrals linked to Secondary care or specialist fields, the Surgery has no influence over the wait times or how these departments operate, with this information often being very difficult to obtain.
Should you wish to seek further clarity on our referral processes, please contact the Surgery on 01214761135 or email at info.westheathsurgery_sbpct@nhs.net to speak to our secretarial team.
Kind regards,
