Review of Doncaster Same Day Health Centre
30th March 2022


I contacted the Same Day Health Centre as I had tonsillitis. I was offered a same day appointment. I was extremely poorly and was struggling to walk in. The nurse practitioner who I saw was absolutely amazing! She was so kind and helpful. I was given antibiotics the same day and as a result I already feel much better.

Suggested improvements
Nothing, we are so grateful to have this service available to us

I was given an appointment at 11 o’clock I’m not seen until four hours later. What is the point in appointment times if they are not going to be kept

Suggested improvements
I think you need to employ more staff or open the out of hours doctors at Cavendish Court on an evening as well as the A&E one

I do not have any long-standing conditions

Suggested improvements
I was expecting to see a GP. I didn’t see a GP and I didn’t receive the the best treatment for a problem that has been with me for a month now. I am still suffering and feel like without having access to a GP I am more likely to visit A&E - when I think the main purpose of this drop-in clinic is to ease the pressures on the NHS, it actually feels a bit pointless. The clinician wasn’t able to refer me for further treatment when I feel like I really need it.

I had an appointment booked for my self , and unfortunately my daughter became unwell too . I rang the same day health centre who ensured me that my daughter would be seen that day too . They was very accommodating and made sure she got an appointment around mine so I didn’t have to take two 30 minute journeys. The nurse practitioner that was looking after our care appeared very knowledgeable and attentive.

Suggested improvements
Nothing . Everything in my experience was perfect

I arrived and during my wait in the seated area, I was subjected to a male staff member slagging off the system to his colleagues who also joined in with their 5 pence worth. Moaning about workload, Blackpool booking patients in huge loads and so on. The nurse I saw clearly had no clue of why I was there. And when assessing me, clearly had no idea. Hence me speaking with my own GP for clarity. I am a nurse and remain thankful that I no longer work with such people.

Suggested improvements
You could have read the appointment booking notes so I wasn't quizzed about my concern. And slagging the system/pcn/nhs off whilst I was there is not acceptable.

I had seen my own gp 10 days earlier due to intense earache. He did nothing other than advise keep taking over counter pain relief. The gp i saw on this occassion prescribed antibiotics, antiviral and eardrops. All the pain has almost gone now. So relieved. She took my blood pressure as soon as i sat in chair and also checked my blood sugars before i left as im diabetic. Treated me with dignity and respect. Cant thank her enough for the care given

Suggested improvements
Nothing!!! I waited 40 minutes past my appointment but the reception staff when i asked explained the gp was running a little behind and i would be seen shortly. Not really much of a hardship when you consider how busy they are

I was given a time slot within a timeframe that was perfect according to the state I was in, in two different health concern scenarios. I was also given a calm and positive affirmation by the nurse/doctor on how to deal with my concerns, what to do and what steps I should follow in case of an emergency.

Suggested improvements
Maybe real time kind of updates/notifications about what is happening with any test/results (e.g. blood/urine) could be an engaging way to keep anxiety off patients. This is because I had to trace my test results to which I was sent to three different departments/institutions.
