"The one doctor is rude and upsets me"

The GP is rude and has bad body language. I said if she is rude again I'm changing. All the others are fine. When I see her I get scared. I requested not to see her. She has no time for me or listen to me and it upsets me. I take away a star because of her.

"Took ages for a referral, didn't believe me"

They're okay but they kept putting pressure on me to have meds and my kids to have injections. I told the GP I had PCOS and that I had been having very heavy periods and painful period since a child and they didn't believe me, said it was all in my head and didn't refer for tests. Finally when I did get referred I was diagnosed with PCOS. I could have got it sorted much sooner. He didn't even know what it was.

"The nurse was not understanding"

The nurse was doing some blood pressure checks but my son wasn't letting her do any checks. She called in the doctor and they did all the checks but the nurse stood across the room. Not very understanding or professional of his needs.

"Still waiting"

I'm around 5 months pregnant. My GP examined me and told me that a midwife should see me. Two weeks have passed and I haven't seen a midwife. Nothing has happened from the referral. I'm still waiting.

"Difficult to make appointments"

Really difficult to make appointments. There are no online slots available at all. When I call they keep saying there are no appointments available. That's the reason I haven't been there for two years. When I have been there there are good. I understand it's a very busy centre.

I had an excellent experience today with the Advanced Nurse Practitioner. She immediately put me at ease, especially since I was worried about a rash under my breast. She took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly, which helped me feel reassured and cared for. I highly recommend her to everyone. Thank you for such great care!

"Check ups after 1 week."

12 months ago I registered with the GP. After one week they did all check ups. The staff are not good or bad. They don't have an online registration system. You need to go there to book everything. After that I didn't have any appointments. I will probably go there soon.

"Quick referral - Lost blood results"

Takes a while to get the results. When I was referred by GP the appointment didn't take long to come through. But I've been waiting for the results since November last year and when I call the practice they say they don't have them and my own practice doesn't have them either. So I feel like the bloods need to be repeated but I've had no appointment made for it.

"Appointments and wrong prescriptions"

My 88 year old Gran was having severe back pain so I tried for an entire week to get an appointment. After a while of trying we managed to get a phone consultation with a doctor. my mum had a face to face appointment at the surgery and instead of the doctor calling my gran, they just asked my mum her symptoms and provided her with antibiotics for a urine infection. After seeing no improvement and a worsening of her condition, we inquired further with the GP, again unable to get an appointment. As the pain was becoming unbearable we called 111 who told us to wait for a phonecall back from a local walk in centre who took 9 hours to call only to say call an ambulance. after calling the ambulance they advised us to take her to a&e. Now they have admitted her as she might have a fracture in her back bone and tests concluded she didnt have a urine infection at all. We could have just gone to a&e in the first place rather than having a sleepless, painful night!! I understand the services and resources are limited but it feels like we have been messed around and neglected. I dont understand why there is only one GP in the surgery at a time? This all could've been avoided if the GP just had seen her in the first place.

"service gone downhill, ridiculous rules"

so i've been on the phone from 7:59 am (lines open at 8) and got a message to say call lines are at capacity, fair enough. I called at least 10x until I finally got to the queue. I was in the queue for 45 minutes, again thats fine, I appreciate its busy. I finally speak to the receptionist and explain I was given 1 week antibiotics and the doc said to call on Monday if infection hasn't cleared and she can prescribe another 1 week course without a break in the course." The receptionists don't treat you like human, she heard everything and said "theres no appointments". I said "I dont need an appointment, the doctor told me to call on Monday to tell her if it's worked and I'm trying to tell her so can you not atleast pass on the message. I can't spend all week calling because if I don't get appt by today there'll be a break in the course", she reiterated "there are no appointments" like a robot. They need to assess each individual rather than constantly repeating same lines. I didn't want to waste doctors time by taking up a whole appointment for something that can be solved in a less than a 2min telephone conversation. Also few weeks ago I took my son to doctors and a patient wanted to make an appointment. One of the new receptionists very rudely told him to call in but the patient said it doesn't make sense because the doctor told him to book an appointment and the phone lines are busy so why can't he do it at the reception? stupid unfair rule told to the guy very rudely

"Difficult to get an appointment"

Why instead of booking normal appointment they ask you to wait between 9 till 1pm for telephone conversation?! I need to see the doctor, not talking over the phone. This is what gp is for. What kind of service is that? Wasting my time. When they are going to be normal practise again???
