"Very good there"

I'll phone and then they send me a link through text to fill in the form. They then get back to me. They're very good there.

"I like the new system, but not for everyone"

The new system the GP uses is good. The new system works well. You fill in a form and they give you an appointment the same day. The negative side to this, is there's a lot of people who do not read or speak English and don't know their NHS number so it might not work. It took a while after filling in the form for them to call me back.

"No problems and better since the merge"

No problems there. Since merging it has been even better. I can get same day appointments and I can see a nurse and they triage online.

"Said they called me but they didn’t"

I am looking after my 91 year (housebound father ) he has been in extreme back pain and no one has been to see him!!! I feel that because of his age nobody cares, there are institutions to call my mobile and yet they called my dad’s landline, and my father could not comprehend what they were asking him, the doctor said that they would call me on the mobile and that didn’t happen.

"Midwife replies quickly"

When I text my midwife she gets in contact quite quickly. Usually the same day or as soon as she gets a message. Appointments all run on time which is good.

"No good, no appointments"

Not good. No appointments. The reception are not good. You wait on the phone for 40 minutes and don't get an appointment. The GPs are good but there are more locums. The last time I had to call 111.The receptionists are so rude.

"Not accessible."

Not really accessible as it's difficult to get appointments. We have to keep ringing to get one. No choice, we just have to keep trying.

"They need more staff and accessibility."

I can never get an appointment. They are short staffed. They sent us to another surgery and this one is closer so it's silly to have to travel. they need to get more staff and make it more accessible.

"It's a struggle to get an appointment."

Can't get appointments even when you phone at 8am. They hold you for 45 minutes and then there's no appointments. They do the same thing day in day out until you get one. When you do see the GP they are good it's just a struggle in the beginning.

"Really good"

Really good with me, make an appointment over the phone and they’ll speak to me first over the phone and call me in if needed. They check my blood every three months and they'll call me in to have the appointment.

"Excellent Service"

I had unexplained bouts of pain and was promptly referred to the hospital where I had an operation. If I had not been referred on time, it could have made me very ill.
