Very good experience. The dr was running late by about 10ish but apologised when I was called in. Apart from that the whole experience was good. I felt that the dr listened to my issues and wanted to help and was clear on what can and cannot help or do rather than string me along with referrals or nothing clear.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We appreciate your understanding regarding the delay & I'm glad the Dr was able to acknowledge this It is encouraging to hear that you felt listened to and that the consultation was clear and honest about the available options. Providing transparent and supportive care is very important to us and done in a way that involves the Patient. Regards M. Rolph, Business Manager
I moved here recently and the difference between School Lane and my previous surgery is night and day. It’s well-run and friendly practice. Also the birthday month clinic for asthma checks. It’s such a sensible idea and way more organised than what I was used to before.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. We are really pleased to hear that you have felt welcome at our surgery! All of our long term condition clinics are now mainly done during your Birthday month as this means that we can aim to get everything done in one visit making it nice and easy for you and more efficient for everyone. Thank you once again for your comment. Regards M. Rolph, Business Manager.
Called up in the morning. Was really helpful and saw a dr that day. Also seen the nurses a few times for my condition and have been amazing.

Thank you for your review. I will let the staff know about your comment and I am glad that you enjoyed your experience with School Lane....Well, I mean as much as anyone 'enjoys' coming to the Drs! Regards M. Rolph, Business Manager.
Excellent Service. Nothing is every too much for the clinical staff and the reception staff are helpful too. Yes there might be a longer wait on the phone than I would like, but dealt with quickly and everyone was really compassionate and caring.

... hin minutes. I sugest an urgent review of this policy be undertaken to allow future pre-booking for essential, non-urgent consultations.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. I understand how frustrating it can feel when you are trying to arrange a routine appointment and the demand is high. The move to an on the day appointment system was made after listening to a large amount of patient feedback. Many people told us that they wanted quicker access to care and found long waits for pre booked appointments difficult. Since making this change, most patients have been able to reach the team more easily and receive the support they need in a timely way. Although no system works perfectly for everyone, this approach benefits the vast majority of those who use our service. I am sorry that it has made things harder for you on this occasion. We continue to monitor how the system performs, but there are no plans for an urgent review or a return to advance booking at this time. Regards M. Rolph, Business Manager
I rang and got an appointment in 10 minutes which you can not complain about.
I think it has improved.
The doctor I saw was very nice

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this wonderful 5-star review! We're delighted to hear that we were able to accommodate both you and your mum with same-day appointments, and we really appreciate your understanding when the booking details got mixed up initially. It's great to know our receptionist was able to sort this out quickly and that you received the apologies you deserved. We're particularly pleased that our doctor provided the empathetic care you needed. This is exactly the kind of patient care we strive to deliver. Thank you also for acknowledging the professionalism of our reception team. Unfortunately, our staff face challenging situations, and it means a lot to us that you noticed how they handled difficult moments with patience and courtesy. Thank you for sharing your positive experience! M Rolph Business Manager
I can't fault it here to be fair, it would be wrong to say anything different. I've never had a problem getting an appointment or speaking to somebody and they're dealing with my health issues well.
I usually book online but if not I ring or walk over. It's four stars as there's always room for improvement.

Thank you for this excellent feedback! We're delighted to hear that you find our service excellent, appointments punctual, and booking straightforward. Your positive experience is exactly what we strive to provide for all our patients. M. Rolph Business Manager
They're not great. I've lived here for four years and I'm yet to meet my doctor.
I've seen nurses for my blood pressure checks and they're always top notch, very polite and helpful. I have the same prescription every month and there's always a delay which is sometimes because the surgery haven't sent the prescription over in time.

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased that you find our nurses top notch, polite, and helpful for your blood pressure checks. However, we're concerned that you haven't met your designated doctor in four years and about the recurring prescription delays. Please contact the surgery directly so we can arrange for you to meet your doctor and investigate the prescription timing issues. We are keen to learn more about these problems and improve our processes. M. Rolph Business Manager
