They are responsive

June 27, 2023
They are responsive I have found, they have been wonderful in the past 8 months when we really needed it. I have been very pleased with them as my surgery.

Friendly and efficient

I have used the online Ask my GP and it seemed to work well and the response from the surgery was pretty good. I have also had a good referral from the surgery. I find the staff to be friendly and efficient.

Thank you for your feedback and sharing your experience of the surgery with us.
We have received over whelming positive response from patients who use AskmyGP. Given the demands every practice face's it is much appreciated when systems work well and patients take time to let us know.

told me i had appointment but didnt book it

April 13, 2023
phoned up for a contraceptive injection 2 weeks ago, was told to use askmygp, put in a request on askmygp to which i was told that they’d booked me an appointment for today (thursday april 13th) at 8.20 am. i get to the surgery at 8.15, to be told i dont have an appointment at all let alone today. showed the receptionist my askmygp message telling me i had an appointment booked, receptionist walks off and returns a couple minutes later telling me i need to rebook because they never booked the appointment like they’d told me. Tried to book me in for over 2 weeks time, even though the injection was due today. it was a quick routine appointment and it was their mistake not mine, wouldnt see me this morning, reception staff were generally rude to me and told me i hadn’t booked my appointment even though i had the messages.

I would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Unfortunately you appear to have let your message anonymously so I can not investigate fully into your individual circumstances.
Occasionally, as we are human we do get it wrong and on these occasions if the clinicians/nurses are fully booked then they can not fit an extra appointment regardless of how the fault was caused.
If you would like to discuss further please do contact me at the surgery
Many thanks

Very happy with level of treatment

The Doctor was extremely thorough and kind and genuinely seemed to care and took the time to ask so many questions to find the route of my problem.

Need help with AskMyGP

September 9, 2022
I tried using AskMyGP but I am having issues with it. Reception say I am on it but I cannot get in. (CDO helped with navigating it and it turned out that you have to register even when reception may have put something in for you before). I feel they need to be aware of this as they told me I was on the system.

Thank you for your feedback. The reception team can add you to the system however, if this happens you will not have a password, in this case all you need to do is access the system via the website as you would normally, click on existing user and click forgotten password.
Your feedback has been really helpful, I shall now remind the reception team to ensure they are able to pass this message on to other patients in the same situation.

Many thanks
Kind regards

AskMyGP - Great!

September 9, 2022
Find the surgery excellent and have managed to use AskMyGP. I found it easy to use and register on. Today is my first time using it and I got an appointment today, so cannot say anything but positive things about the service on that basis. I used to use the telephone which takes longer to get through on, so I will definitely try it again.

Thank you for your feedback, its good to know that you have found AskmyGP a positive experience. We introduced the system in April precisely for the very reason you mentioned, you now no longer have to wait in a queue on the telephone and it free's up the telephone for patients who are unable to use the internet, in both scenario's you will receive a response on the same day.
Kind regards

Need to come out to get me

September 9, 2022
When I initially contacted the surgery in the early days of AskMyGP, the receptionist got stroppy with me about using it. I stated that I could barely see so it does not work for everyone. No apology! They did sort it out and had to fill it in on my behalf.
There does not seem to be a link up then to the clinician when I come in. I was told they would come out and get me, they did not and when my name came up on a screen that I cannot see, the Healthwatch person asked if my name was ....... and they then knew they had been called. I knew the general direction I had to go in. Should have something on my record to know this already really, so they can come out and get me.

Thank you for your feedback, I would like to apologise, firstly for the receptionist, when we introduced AskmyGP originally, it was quite stressful for the team and secondly on behalf of the surgery for this lack of communication.
The Healthwatch feedback was given to me on the same day and we have since put in a process for any patients who are either visually or hearing impaired, this is now noted on the "patient home screen" on the clinical system so that clinicians are aware when they are required to meet the patient in the waiting area, I have also communicated this to the whole team.
Feedback such as yours is really helpful when reviewing our services, it gives us the opportunity to ensure another patient doesn't experience the same difficulties. If you would like to discuss this further then please do contact me at the surgery.
Many thanks
Yours sincerely

AskMyGP is great

September 9, 2022
Since the launch of AskMyGP I have been able to get better access to what I need. I have found it very responsive and as it is easy to use it really makes sense to me to use it. I have an appointment today on the day that I put it in, but other submissions have led to phone calls and some just to information, which has all been appropriate each time.

Thank you for your feedback, we introduced AskmyGP in April and so it is still relatively new to us but we have had overwhelming positive response.
Kind regards

Brilliant so far

September 9, 2022
New to the surgery and it has been brilliant. We have had 6 appointments by using AskMyGP. Really like the system as you can do it when convenient to you and we have always had a response the same day.

Got nowhere on internet

June 24, 2022
Was told to use the internet after two phone calls waiting in the queue and getting nowhere. I can use the internet, but it got me nowhere still. A friend ended up ringing on my behalf as I was frustrated and I did see a nurse in the end, it just took a long time to sort this out which is frustrating.

I am sorry you felt like that using, I assume, AskmyGP, to access one of our clinical team got you nowhere, the vast majority of our patients feedback is praise as it stops the need to wait in a call queue and the patient then gets a quick response (if submitted before 3pm the same day/after 3pm and non urgent the following working day).
There is help on AskmyGP if you click on the ? in the top right corner, or the Care Navigators will always talk you through how to use the system however, if you are struggling then they can add you in exactly the same way as you would add yourself.
Unfortunately your response has been left anonymously so I am unable to investigate further however, if you would like to pop into the practice then we can show you how to use the system via your mobile phone.
