"Good and attentive doctors"

Able to get appointments with them. They know me and send me texts about the flu jab and other things. The doctors are good and very attentive.

"Need more help and support"

I waited since May last year for physio. It's not long term so isn't the solution for my issue. I need more help and support and to be referred to get it sorted.

"I like seeing my own GP"

Difficult to get appointments. I like my named GP, they listen to me but I don't like seeing other GPs. Some receptionists are more helpful than others.

"Same day appointment"

They called me straight away for a health check. I was given a same day appointment. They're really good. You can go online through the app too . I call because it's quicker.

"Hard to get appointments"

Hard to get appointments, it's the system. They say book online but there isn't anything there and then you call in the morning and there is nothing available. They just want you to drop down dead.

"Very hard to get an appointment"

Very hard to get an appointment. They're merged with other practices. The system doesn't work properly and take a while. It takes too long to make an appointment over the phone.

"Wont give urgent appointments"

Whenever we need an urgent appointment they tell me to go to the UTC or hospital. If you need one in 1 to 2 weeks that is fine. I can't wait too long with small children at a UTC or hospital so that isn't helpful.

"Easy to book with them"

They're okay, they sent me a message to say I needed a blood test and they then arranged one for me. It was easy to book and I was in there quickly.

"Had an appointment when I said I was pregnant"

They're happy for us to stay with them to be honest. They gave me an appointment because I said I was pregnant. They said they had no appointments available but when I told them I was pregnant they said they did. GP surgeries can have a better system. You can't book online and it's hard to get through on the phones. It's not the staff's fault but I end up frustrated.

"The doctor have seen me face to face"

They referred us to ROH. The doctor have seen me face to face. If it’s just over the phone , how do they say what’s going on. If they would have given me more pain relief, it would have made the things better and quicker.

"Can't get appointments"

It's long, it's all changed. If you're not quick enough you can't get appointments. Sometimes I end up feeling better before i've managed to get an appointment. They do prioritise under 5 appointments. They open at 9am and if you don't call at 9am you don't get an appointment.

"Long waiting time on telephone for answer"

The overall level of care I have received is very good. Only concern / complaint is about long waiting time when you call them on the telephone. once I waited for 40 mins for my call to be answered. My concern is that it is very difficult for senior citizens and seriously ill patients to wait for such a long time on phone.

"This service has been great Handsworth Medical Centre"

This service has been great to me they have been amazing from day one & I've been with them over 10-15 years, I know we're in a pandemic so I can wait, it's just no knowledge of my request that's upsetting.

"Phone always busy , poor treatment"

I have been in severe pain for 2 days now I have rang them over 50 times and no one ever answers the phone for an appointment. It’s always busy . I need my medication. Also apparently I was refereed to physio 9 months ago and I still haven’t heard anything. My doctors won’t follow up.

"Easier and faster access can help a lot"

I’ve mainly been seeing the GP for mental health services. It’s been very helpful, when I did get the help, but the waiting while I was really struggling was the worst. To improve this it would be great if there was an easier and faster access that would help in the moment.
