I have been a patient here for 55 years and I haven't got a complaint - my family are all here too and we have no problems!

Thank you for your feedback and the 5-star rating of Campingland Surgery. What a great endorsement of the surgery; 55 years as a patient - Thank you!
I think you have more robustness than the surgery building (built about the time you became a patient), which we know is looking somewhat tired and dated. Hopefully, some investment from the commissioning bodies in the premises is not too far off, but time will tell!

no consistency within the teams

The Drs here are 5 star, but some of reception are rude and there is no need to be. Some are lovely but some will cancel an appointment and be rude about it - the is no consistency within the teams - just be polite to us. I find it is easier to get an appointment on the website.

Thank you for your feedback on the service we provide. I am really sorry to hear that you have found some instances where staff have appeared rude. I am sure that was not their intent, but please accept my apologies for your experience.
Like many businesses we have struggled with Covid absences in the last 6 months – we have seen more Covid-positive staff off since January than at any other time in the pandemic; this still continues with some positive test results even into May(all NHS staff are still testing, and if they return a positive test result have to be absent from work for at least 6 days).
Unfortunately, this has meant that some appointments have had to be re-jigged to a later date, but I am sorry that this contact was not handled in the very best way possible.

Seeing a Dr here is like winning the lottery

I think the NHS deserve a 5 star review in general, but seeing a Dr here is like winning the lottery, but I have no problems using the online system. They had lost my prescription today but have now found it.

Thank you for your feedback and also for the 5-star rating.
We do embrace the modern NHS ethos of teamworking, so the fact that you do not see a Doctor means that your medical needs are not best dealt with by a general practitioner, but by one of the specialist team working at the surgery.
The clinical team here includes Paramedics, a Clinical Pharmacist, a Physio, Social Prescribers, Care Coordinators, Nurse Practitioners, Practice Nurses and Healthcare Assistants, all working to meet the diverse needs of our patients. Even so, the Doctors here do work incredibly long hours to cover the needs of those patients who do need to see a Doctor for their care.
I hope this helps explain NHS teamworking as it is in 2022.

I have been a patient here for 25 years and there are various pressures that we all know about - but the surgery always do their best. It is easy to moan but life goes on. The after care here is really good and we need to value them all. The pharmacy are the unsung heroes, they have the pressures and have to get it right. Reception have pressures too.

Thank you for your feedback, the review title and, indeed, the very kind words about two areas of the surgery that are, maybe, \'unsung\'.
Thank you also for the 5-star rating you have provided and your comments about the care we are able to provide. I hope we are able to provide such care for many years to come.

I think the staff here are all really reassuring, I have been seen by the nurse today and it was lovely to see her, I had a blood test and ECG and she made me feel at ease all the time.
