Too long to wait for an appointment. Experience when I was at the surgery was first class.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, I’m very pleased to hear that you had a positive experience at the surgery. Our Healthcare Support Worker appointments are highly sought after, we have had some unplanned absence recently within the team which can contribute to making the waiting time for appointments a little longer than we would like. This can occasionally go over 2 weeks. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we will be reviewing all feedback collectively to establish any areas for improvement.
Waiting time for appointment date too long
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, I am very pleased that you had a helpful appointment with one of our First Contact Physiotherapists. We are reviewing all feedback collectively to understand where we can make improvements, so thank you for sharing your experience.
I went online to the surgery appointments form, filled in the details of symptoms (easy to use website).
I was then phoned back, by the very helpful reception within the hour and booked in same day on the duty doctors request.
Duty doctor was very thorough, reassuring and helpful. Thank you.
Very quick to reply to my problem
I’ve. always been happy with my experience over the years with the James Cochrane practice.
Thank you for your feedback, I am very pleased that you have been happy with your experience of our service. Our waiting room patient call system is set to give an audible signal when a name appears, however occasionally it does stop working. This can be easily fixed by our Care Navigators, and we will be reviewing the notices in our waiting areas to make sure this is clear. Thank you for highlighting it to us.
The James Cochrane Practice was awarded the iWantGreatCare certificate of excellence in 2024 for delivering outstanding care.
