"Can't get an appointment"

Can never get an appointment since covid. I can phone to book but they say there aren't any appointments so I end up going to the pharmacy or to a walk in.

"Rude and hard to get appointments"

It's hard to get an appointment and the receptionists are extremely rude. They're not polite at all. If you're lucky you get to see a GP but it's never the same GP. To refer is a nightmare.

"The medication isn't working"

I can't get an appointment. I went with tingling in my feet and was off balance and they gave me tablets but I don't know what they're for. They used to prescribe a gel but they changed it and now they don't work.

"They're okay"

They're okay. You have to phone at a certain time to get appointments which I think I should be able to phone at anytime as after 8:00am everything is gone and they tell you to call back the next day.

"Better support at last"

I had a scan and found out that I have adenomyosis as I have always struggles with painful periods. Its hard getting appointments and the waiting is disgusting. It's getting better though and the GPs are nice. I do now feel that I'm finally getting the help and support I need.

"The GP referred me quickly for scans"

The GP referred me onto the hospital for scans for pain management. They referred me quickly and I went for my scan. I then returned to my GP to discuss the scans and they couldn't be found. So now I have to get back in contact with the hospital to get them sent over.

"I rarely go"

Used to be easy to get an appointment pre covid but it’s much harder now. I phoned up and waited on the phone for 45 minutes. I rarely go, if I am ill I deal with it myself.

"Easier before pandemic"

Easier before pandemic, following pandemic more difficult to see GP face to face. Staff themselves are fine, it’s just the system that’s where the glitch is. I’ve had telephone consultations the system is if you want face to face appointment with GP you have to call at 8am. You get through but struggle to get an appointment. There is an online system to book appointment, in process of getting that you need to set up to booking application online.

Always had a good service by this practice. Sorry to hear some doctors have left. Hope the new doctors are as good. Reception staff on whole are helpful except for one who has been there years and can be rude to patients.

"cannot get GP appointment"

We have been contacting our GP surgery for several months on behalf of our sister who as Bipolar. We need medical assistance now and trying to get an appointment is impossible. They constantly refer back to her mental health, when the consultant told her to see her GP. This is ridiculous!

"Just ticking boxes"

Not very pro active to increase better health, Does not pick its phone up. Discourages to visit GP. Just ticking boxes instead of finding root cause of symptoms. Different doctor every time you visit.
