Advised to go to a&e
June 7, 2016
I had a fall last week and still have a sore rib. I called the surgery today to see if I could speak to a nurse but was told to go to a&e. I have no transport and only wanted some advice.
Blood test process works well
June 7, 2016
I have regular blood tests as I take warfarin. They monitor the readings well, I get a letter one to two days after my test to tell me if my medication needs amending and when I need to go back for the next test. The nurses advise to book the appointment as soon as I receive the letter as they are so busy.ive never had a problem getting an appointment as I always book in advance.
Good.

Getting an appointment is sometimes difficult
April 21, 2016
Getting an appointment with any doctor is sometimes difficult. At my last appointment I was not even asked by the doctor to take a seat. I was seen standing for the whole appointment
Can wait a while for an appointment

Sometimes I have to wait a little for an appointment. I do see different doctors but this is fine.
Triage Service

Good A&E and triage service. Saves trips to hospital and waiting times, you can phone anytime for an appointment
Went elsewhere in the end
March 23, 2016
A lady was triaged 4-5 times and all times sent home undiagnosed. After 14 weeks she got to see the doctor and was diagnosed with pneumonia and a swollen oesophagus and bronchitis. She went private and underwent a triple therapy to recover as she had enough of being ill and not being treated right.
Not enough doctors

Maybe not enough doctors registered here, 3 I think, makes it hard to get appointments sometimes.
Had to go to Ipswich for a blood test
February 25, 2016
Can't believe I couldn't walk the 5 minutes to this Dr's and have a blood test done, but drive to the other side of Ipswich to have it done. Was told that a lot of Dr's surgeries won't do blood tests locally and that two phlebotomists are leaving. What about people who don't drive or have access to a car ? It took me a 2 1/2 hour round trip to get the blood test done, if I had to get the bus it would have been a day trip !
disappointed with initial treatment
February 24, 2016
I saw a practice nurse for a chest problem but was told that I was wasting their time. I left the appointment very upset so asked reception if I could see a doctor to discuss what had happened. I saw a doctor immediately and he diagnosed bronchitis and gave me antibiotics. Up until now the surgery has been great.
