When your poorly if possible, I would like to see a doctor within couple of days not two weeks which is always. Also find getting through on phone is hard work.

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry that the practice did not meet your expectations of the service. With over 2000 patients per full time GP there will be times when routine appointments for a particular doctor are already booked. Doctors also have outside committments, holidays and training courses to attend. We would like to assure you that we always aim to provide a high standard of service to our patients.

Found it difficult to express my problems. Felt a bit of a nuisance, always found getting an answer on phone very difficult.

Positives - Dr Gill is a patient, caring, compassionate doctor and is the best in the practice, however, impossible to get a consultation with her. - Some of the receptionists are helpful and polite when dealing with your query. Negatives - I had to wait 3 weeks to see a doctor about a routine medical complaint. This has not improved even after they have appointed 3 new GPs to the practice. - Trying to get an emergency appointment is just as difficult. I ended up not being able to get one after 2 days of trying and ended up in a Walk-In Centre. - It is very difficult to see the same doctor - I consider this important especially due to having a long-standing, chronic medical condition. - It is impossible to get through to the surgery on the telephone. A wait of up to 15 minutes is normal. - They regularly get my repeat prescription wrong or have to wait longer than 48 hours to get it issued.

The receptionists were very, very busy but dealt with each patient in a most pleasant & helpful manner. Getting an early appointment is virtually impossible if there was someone in the surgery who would be available to give advice. I'm sure this would take a lot of the stress from the receptionist.
