I rang to see a doctor about my knee & back. The receptionist gave me an appointment for the next day to see [name removed] & I was very impressed. He was so helpful & very pleasant. Although I am 77 I felt he gave me his time & support. He is an asset to the surgery in my opinion.
Came for pneumonia vaccine.
Easy to check in. Appt was on time.
Nurse was very kind and very professional.
Surgery nice and warm
It's not a clear question. Slightly disingenuous. Yes, I can phone up and get an appointment easily provided that I am prepared to wait up to 4 weeks. I don't feel that this is the fault of the practice. It's the way it is in the NHS. From what I hear from friends and family, at JCP we are better off than most. Because I am retired and can be flexible I don't personally have much trouble.
They explained everything and gave me a reason to why I was having the problem.
Not easy to get an appointment especially when it is urgently required
The James Cochrane Practice was awarded the iWantGreatCare certificate of excellence in 2024 for delivering outstanding care.
