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.

Thank you for leaving your feedback, we are sorry on this occasion that your experience was a negative one. 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. Best wishes Heidi Shadmy

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.

... 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.

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?

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.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review on this occasion, your feedback is important to us, it helps the practice to continue providing the best service possible to our patient population. We review all comments received whether it is via online feedback, NHS Friends and Family Test (FFT), in person or writing. We share all feedback with our staff to look for areas for improvement and share the positives - which gives staff a boost! We are working hard to address our access for patients which include opening elements of our website to allow patients to request appointments, we are also encouraging our patients to register for the NHS App which will support freeing up the telephone lines for those in need. Kind Regards Heidi Practice Manager.

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.
