The nurse has been excellent. I see her every month - so friendly and I feel at ease with her. If you ring at 8 am you will get an apt that day. If you want to see a specific doctor it can be a bit more of a delay

If I didn't have a car it would be very difficult. If you are reliant on buses it can be a 4 hour round trip. Buses are hourly from the surgery. It would be better to have a surgery here rather than having to go into town

Dear Anonymous,

Thank you for your comments, we are aware how inconvenient it is for some of our patients that we are out of the town and that the bus service is not adequate, but unfortunately other than pass on your comments there is little we can do to help.

Not seeing the same doctor all the time means you have to repeat your history and there is little continuity.
A little concerning when you are reliant on taxis or buses and you are trying to combine appts as it only takes a small delay for you to miss the bus

Dear Anonymous,

Thank you for your comments, we do understand the problems lack of continuity can cause, and this is something we have considered. Unfortunately, appointments with some doctors are more in demand, meaning there is less availability.
We know it is not always possible to book ahead, but for routine matters, we do offer bookable appointments for up to 2 months in advance with the doctor of your choice. Also, should you need a follow up appointment, the doctor you see is able to book this for you during your consultation.

Kind regards

I have had problems with my prescription, where all 3 items are coming up on different dates. Prescription has been lost a few times between here and pharmacy. This meant that I ran out of medication as I needed the prescription re-issued. Because of the number of tablets prescribed each month it means I'm a little short of one and have too many of the other

It would be nice to be told if there are delays. Generally it's a good surgery but you may have to wait for your appt. Getting an appt. on the day is not a problem. Explanations can be a little vague at times.
A few months ago I had an ECG and the nurse was great, explained everything and was really reassuring

Dear Anonymous,

Thank you for your comments, we do try to inform patients if there is likely to be a delay on checking in, but I will discuss this with the team at our next meeting to see if we can ensure we keep you updated.

I have a complicated condition & not seeing the same doctor all the time means you feel you are having to go over everything that has been tried before. Not having continuity makes it more difficult.
At times it feels like they just give me tablets and move me out of the door. It would be good to be able to book in advance so I can see the same doctor so that it is less frustrating going over everything. Different doctors also have different ideas which means you get an inconsistent approach

Dear Anonymous,

Thank you for your comments, the problem surrounding continuity of care in a five doctor practice, is something we are very aware of. We realise it is not always possible for you to obtain an appointment with the doctor of your choice, particularly if your request is urgent. However, if you are booking a routine follow up appointment, our reception team are able to book for up to 2 months ahead, and a more urgent follow up appointment can be made by the doctor you are seeing.

Kind regards

. Reception have been good and we never have problems getting an appt. Some staff could be a little more understanding. There are times when you have to wait but we understand some people need more time than others.

The staff at the surgery are great. I'm confident in the diabetic and asthma nurses. I try to keep with the same doctor for continuity and I've managed to get appts when needed.
Having a pharmacy here would make it much better

Thank you for your comments, your feed back is appreciated, we too are hoping it will not be too much longer before there is a pharmacy at the centre.

Appointments are difficult

Getting an appointment is difficult. I went with a severe reaction to a wasp sting and I was initially told I couldn't be seen but eventually I was given an appointment.

Dear Anonymous,

Thank you for your comments, I am sorry to hear you had difficulty obtaining an appointment. I am sure all our patients realise our resources are limited and we may not always have an appointment available, however, if you tell us you need to be seen urgently, our doctors will never refuse either to see or speak to you.
If you would like to give me some more information, I will be happy to investigate what happened on this occasion, of if you would like to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards
