"I have to book BSL interpreter"

When you ill you can't see them the same day. I have to book a BSL interpreter. It's been like it for four years. Lack of support for the deaf community.

"No continuity"

The doctors aren't best and don't follow up. You see any GP never the same one. No continuity which kids can struggle with.

"Good GP in general"

There were ongoing issues and eventually they said we needed to be seen by ENT so got him referred. The GP is good in general and we can find appointments when we need one.

"Reception staff are difficult"

GP: the doctors are nice and understand I prefer to see the same doctor. However the reception staff are very difficult. They either talk at me or ignore me. I ask them to write down what they say but they won't. I have tried to complain to the manager but they never listen to me and always side with their staff.
I am profoundly Deaf and use BSL as my first language.

"No problems having a kidney scan."

I went for a kidney scan and it was fine, no problems. I got in quicker and was almost back in my car before my appointment time which doesn't happen often.

"Call early to get an appointment"

It's really good. You have to ring early if you want an appointment. I called to enquire about my baby's injections and she said she would get the nurse to call me but she didn't.

"Failing as a service"

The GP surgery are no help. You call at 8:05AM and there's not any appointments. They are not helpful, they are definitely failing as a service.

"You can't get appointments."

You can't get an appointment even if you call them 100 times. Always busy. It's very difficult to get your prescription on time. It always takes 2 to 3 days.

"Service overstretched"

"Doctors gave wrong information"

I had a phone appointment with a Doctor, the Dr gave me the wrong information telling me I need a referral from another Dr... to get me off the phone, waste of time. Spoke to another Dr different surgery that laughed and told me the simple process and also told me there is no referral process just a simple 30 seconds chat... Now I have to go through the hassle of booking back in with this dreadful surgery. Waste of time

"Good service (when you can get through!)"

Can be very difficult to contact by phone but very happy with the appointments when I get them. They also contacted me very quickly when it was my turn to get my Covid vaccinations and booked me in to receive it within a few days.

"I have only awful things to say"

Impossible to make a same day appointment. Receptionists are insensitive and never pick up the phones. I have seen them ignore the ringing phone with my own two eyes. Doctors don’t really listen to your concerns and are quick to dismiss you with a random prescription. 10000% do not recommend

"Waiting times bad"

Waiting time for appointments - have to wait at least half an hour at surgery
Takes at least a month to get an appointment to be seen by a GP. They do not give special attention to elderly disabled and young disabled children (have person experience with this)
