They listen and are helpful

December 3, 2024
They are good but you have to wait a long time to get an appointment. When you do get in, the GP or nurse listens and are helpful.

Dear patient
Thank you so much for your feedback and 5 stars, much appreciated.

The frustration in waiting for a GP appointment is, unfortunately, a widespread issue affecting all of us.

WLS attempts to address this issue by offering patients different options to secure an appointment.

None urgent appointments can be booked via a V consult, which is a form submitted via our website; once submitted, the patient will be contacted within 3 working days with an appointment.
You can also find the LIVI app on our website, which is a FaceTime consultation with a local GP.

Not all medical issues need treatment by a GP. Pharmacy First is an NHS scheme whereby a prescribing pharmacist offers a full consultation and then treats the patient.
Please see like below for more details

I hope some of the information provided is of some use to you and once again, I thank you for sharing your feedback.

Kind regards

A rubbish service

November 27, 2024
My partner is bed bound and I called for home visit for his covid and flu jabs but he was taken in to hospital very poorly. They called and I told them he was in hospital and advised to call when he was home which I did and was told that the nurse was off ill but would let her know. I got a call for another matter and so I asked about his jabs only to be told they had no more stock and he had missed out. He has a lot wrong with him and weak immune system. What a rubbish service.

Dear patient,
Thank you for your feedback.
I can fully understand your concerns for your partner and I’m sorry to read about his recent hospital admission.

Regarding Covid vaccines, as a practice, we are only allocated a number of vaccines and once they’re gone, we’re unable to secure anymore. I would advise you to call 119 and explain the situation.

If you need to speak with us further, please contact the surgery and ask to speak to the Reception Manager.

Kind regards

I tried to call the GP but couldn't get through or get an appointment as I had a lump on my neck that kept getting bigger.

Their warm, caring attitude helps me to feel at ease when discussing sensitive and personal issues. Though it can be hard to reach them they are very good.

Receptionists cant do enough for you

November 4, 2024
A very good GP and easy to get an appointment. Very helpful. You don't get rude receptionists here that everyone tells me about. They can't do enough for you.

Helpful but I don't like the system

November 4, 2024
Very helpful with my condition. It can be difficult to get an appointment and I don't like the system. After waiting 30 minutes on the phone there are no appointments. They gave me an appointment via video but I had to download the app to get the appointment which wasn't the most helpful.

Dear patient,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We use all feedback to help improve our services.

We’re aware that phone lines into the surgery are busy and how frustrating this is for patients. We’ve recently installed a new phone system that allows you access the option to request a callback, we’ve had some very positive feedback about the system.

It’s annoying having to install an app for a FaceTime consultations, but once it’s installed, it’s there for easy future access. You can also complete a v consult via our website and a member of staff will be in touch with an appointment date within 3 working days. Please do note that this option is for non urgent issues.

We can offer you evening and Saturday appointments at the local hub surgery.

We’re also in the middle of cold and flu season, which means we’re exceptionally busy and of course, our own staff are not exempt from this.

I hope some of the above information will be useful to you in the future.

Once again, thank you for talking the time to leave your feedback.

Kind regards

Can't get through

September 24, 2024
It's been useless to get through since covid. I usually get an overspill Saturday appointment. There is about 27 people in the queue first thing on a morning.

Dear patient,
Thank you for your feedback.

I'm sorry to read that you've been experiencing issues getting through to the surgery.

We've come a long way from the days of COVID. We have a new phone system that gives the option for a call back, without losing your place in the queue. Many patients find accessing our website and completing a V consult a quick and convenient way of securing an appointment. Appointments can also be booked via the NHS app or the Livi app which, again, can be accessed from our website.

I hope some of the above information will be of use to you for future bookings.

Kind regards

I'm happy with them

September 23, 2024
They referred my daughter and I'm really happy with them. They are very good at giving appointments and if I want to see a particular GP they accommodate that too.
