Short, restricted appointments
You can't see a doctor or it takes three weeks to get in and see a trainee. Then you're rushed in and out - they told they can only see patients for three minutes and you're only allowed to mention one thing per appointment. The people there are friendly though.

I would like to clarify as Practice Manager that your Doctors have 10 minutes per consultation and our trainee Doctors receive 15 minutes per consultation. We strive to monitor our available appointments and we do have same day appointments available every day, if you have continued concerns please contact the practice and ask to speak to the Practice Manager so that I can look into your concerns.

Can't get an appointment
I've been trying to get an appointment about my constant pain for the last 18mths-2yrs. When you phone you just can't get through and you can't book online.

They're really good. The only thing is the 8am phone call to book an appointment.

The pharmacist knew the condition the doctor missed
I had tests for carpal tunnel and it was missed, I saw the head chemist and she said it's carpal tunnel. I had another test 8 months after the first one and was diagnosed with that.

I feel it might have been sorted if he'd caught it earlier so I'd give that doctor one star. I've got a bad pain between my shoulders and the doctor kept telling me it's a pulled muscle but now I know it's nerve damage.

I've only had proper painkillers for it for the last three months as they said it was a pulled
... muscle. It's hard to see a doctor anyway, I see the physio and chemist.

If it wasn't for the chemist there I'd have been worse.

Shockingly poor at times.
I went to collect a prescription. It was wrong, so they got it changed & it was still wrong! Mistakes may happen, but should it take close to an hour & 3 goes to get a prescription, right?

poor
I develop ecema 3 years ago in my case i have a bakers cyst. This started in covid when i had a bad leg ulcer a result in scrating.

this then lead to nurse care the only gp intervention was a head around the door and just ask for antibiotics. every issue sent to a nurse.

My skin problems are worse now and the nurse has a me to see a doctor to get sent to the clinic . I went to reception to book a slot the only one is over a mouth away which i have taken.

the other option is to phone at 08.
... 00 in the scramble in appointments.

why sytem online is not in use is a worry.

The GP listens to you
I think it's really good. The GP listens to you, they were not in a hurry and that's what I really liked. It's not so good that the website never seems to be working so you have to call the surgery instead and then you have to wait. I was number 15 in the queue and had to wait half an hour.

Staff are good
I find all the staff good and I can get an appointment okay. Sometimes it is hard to get through on the phone and the online does not always work.
