"Call back the same day"

I don't use it often but when I do they help me. I have to fill in a form and they call me back the same day.

"They're good overall"

Good. I don't have to go that often. I feel that they understand me. When I have been for appointments. I don't like having to talk to receptionists. It should be private between me and the GP.

"Sent here by 111"

You can get sent by 111 for same day emergency appointments. They're okay but they can't do referrals or get us help any sooner.

"Phoned for appointment dreadful"

Phoned for emergency appointment was told you are caller No 8 in the queue, 50 minutes later you are caller No7 in the queue. Utterly useless staff even when you walk in they will only deal with you if you refuse to leave the counter.. will be putting in a formal complaint about this dreadful practice.

"I should have face to face appointments."

It should be easier to make an appointment rather than telephone conversations. Many people don't have a mobile which, makes it difficult to hang around for half a day. They offered the flu jab jab and then I asked about the covid jab and they gave me a number to book at the QE. But they did them together last time.

"I can't get a face to face appointment."

When you phone the doctor they answer and ask you what is your problem. You don't get to see a doctor face to face, you get a call. It would be nice if I could see the doctor to examine me but they don't do that. The waiting room is quiet. Nobody is there but they don't call us in to the centre. They did a blood and kidney test but they have not done any Dementia tests.

"No chance of getting an appointment."

They're useless. You can't get hold of anyone. I phone and phone and if you want to see a doctor you have no chance. I wait weeks for a phone call and they may see you, but that could be now, or tomorrow or the next day. You can't call up and choose.

"The manager needs help"

The manager, on asking for her help, refused to let me use the disabled toilet and forced me to use the normal toilet, I asked her for urgent medical help and she turned into a character and said "if you don't leave, I will call the police" She seriously needs to be in some kind of hospital with bars on the window for the sake of patients and the surgery

"Good service when can see GP"

"Don't answer the phones to make appointment"

Not good, appointments or phones. You can call to speak to them before an appointment and they will not answer until your appointment time. They don't answer the call how do you get an appointment. They tell you you should have got us on the phone, but how can I make an appointment if I cannot get through.

"On the day appointment"

"Very poor service"

Luckily I had few appointments with this GP surgery but in most of them I experienced a very poor service. Because I'm a foreigner, I had to submit my health reports for the GP to update my health record, and it took me several months and many calls to have this done.

"Weren't entirely clear"

I managed to burn my foot over the Easter weekend and while I was able to get an appointment, the dressing didn't cover all the burns properly. Thankfully I was able to cover that with additional plasters. The instructions for the Covid protocols weren't entirely clear either.

"Feel a bit rushed"

It can feel a bit rushed when sitting down with a GP but I understand GPs are busy. Wish there was an easier way to book an appointment. At present, you'd have to phone or queue at 8am to obtain an appointment.

"Getting an appointment by phone is not easy."

Selly oak health centre is good but sometimes getting an appointment by phone is not easy. Online appointments also not helpful because available appointments are longer (at least a week after dates we get appointment).
