Challenging to get appointments, having to ring on the day/uncertainty is stressful, reduced capacity and therefore long waitlist

Suggested improvements
Advised of the duration and content of session to reduce anxiety. E.g., your appointment with [name removed] will be 1 hour long, during this time… etc. this would help ease anxiety prior to session

It’s always a little bit stressful to have to call first thing in the morning to get an appointment that day. It feels like a competition.

Suggested improvements
There really isn’t anything you could’ve done better. The staff and doctors are all first rate as is the nursing crew.

I phoned for an appointment in the morning and had a helpful consultation with Dr [name removed] which resulted in me trying some medication to alleviate my symptoms.

Suggested improvements
I can’t really think of anything that could have been done better. All seemed very good to me. Thanks.

I sent an online message re ongoing problem and got a text messaged appointment set up within half hour

Suggested improvements
If I could have seen the physiotherapist at Helme Chase would have been more easily accessible
