This is more of a delay now than there used to be. If it's a potentially serious problem then usually the appointment is quicker.

Suggested improvements
Can be a long wait to get through by phone and have to give up sometimes.

Easy self check in, spacious waiting area not busy. Tv screen to watch for information. Timely appointment, with [name removed] for my CDM1 review. Lovely cheerful conversation, making the experience comfortable. All details explained well.

Suggested improvements
Could the tv make a sound when patients need to go in? I had to ask a gentleman if that was him when I realised he wasn’t watching the screen.

The Dr was professional & provided opportunity to discuss my health concerns fully. Follow up tests were agreed. [name removed] made a follow up enquiry with a colleague & then fed back the outcome to me.

Suggested improvements
All good in the appointment .I would have appreciated being given the ‘ correct’ sample bottle as I selected the wrong one & now have to repeat the urine test!
