Flu clinic

November 13, 2019
Here for flu jab today and I had it 10 minutes after the appointment, which for a 1 minute job at the early part for the day is not great.

Fairly good service now that I am getting used to the appointment system and prescription availability.

What is the point of this surgery

August 8, 2019
Having called 111 early morning Monday advised I needed to see my GP, spent 25 minutes from 0800 trying to get through only to be told by a rude and uncaring receptionist once I finally got through that there were no appointments and I would need to call back Tuesday morning and try again but there was no guarantee I would get an appointment the following day,I ended up in A&E. Had i been offered an appointment for the Tuesday I may have felt reassured and not gone to A&E. This wss on top of a appointment a couple of weeks early with the nurse who is new. She didnt have a consultation with me but dictated to me what i should and should not be doing regarding the pill. The total lack of care or consideration of the patient by the reception staff is appaulling, they should remember that it is the patient who pays their wages and should show respect and compassion to those in need. The surgery should be ashamed of themselves at the total shambles it has become.

We have moved away from this surgery

I rang 45 times between 8-8.30am. When I finally got through there were no appointments left and no alternative was offered.
We are now moving surgeries.

Repeat prescription service is good

July 3, 2019
The repeat prescription service is very fast.
They say to give 5 days but usually I can pick up my medication from Morrisons in 1-2 days from when the repeat request was submitted.

Not impressed

June 17, 2019
This surgery used to be very good before they were taken over.
Now,it is impossible to get an appointment with a proper doctor.
When I do get to see someone,I am kept waiting even though the waiting room is, invariably empty ??
Recently tried to see a doctor but was told that there were no appointments available.
Three days later I was taken to A& E by ambulance after having collapsed at home.
It is a good thing that the paramedics are so good otherwise I don’t like to think what
could have been !!!

Trying to get a repeat prescription.

June 3, 2019
Although the practioners are excellent, the support staff, although helpful seem incapable of doing simple tasks like adding a new regular prescription to my Pharmacy2u account. I have never had a reply to an Email, so have ended up visiting in desperation.
