Review

 

For the most part the care navigators are helpful and try and rectify any mistakes that that have occured. But some of the GPs are not that good. There has been breaches of patient confidentiality, test results sent to the wrong GP surgery, no apology given, I have heard patients moan about the service when I am in the the waiting area surgery, GPs try to force you to go online and create extra work for the patient. They don't also print off necessary handouts. Prescriptions are not signed off at the correct time. The online triage system is not that effective. Messages between staff are not seen viewed correctly.

Suggested improvements
  • When making a referral and patient has not given consent and have passed on messages to the relevant clinician and IT consultant to ensure that only relevant information is shared, this should then be actioned yet this is delayed and the nurse forgets to action this. Also with GP appointments I have had bad experiences where they have cut corners, did not explain test results properly and then asked instrusive questions not relevant and made referrals for services where there was a conflict of interest and also is not in the best interest of the patient.

This is a very good surgery. The Doctor are helpful and empathetic. The Receptionists are for the most part very helpful especially Anna. It is possible usually to get an appointment. I would rate it highly.

Suggested improvements
  • Maybe information that the appointment is face to face not a telephone appointment would be good. Sometimes it isn’t clear.

I I am very disappointed with the ladies at the Reception. They don't help me at all. When I call for an appointment, the lady at the Reception tells me to go to the pharmacy! Which is fair to me! Since I called to make an appointment, it's normal to see the doctor! If I wanted to take pills, I would go to the pharmacy! The reception ladies are very bad!

Suggested improvements
  • If I call for an appointment, I want an appointment... not to go to the pharmacy

I was deeply saddened to see a bad review for this surgery who for many years have treated me with the upmost kindness and respect. The doctors are all in gauged with the problems that you present and a patient, kind and courteous. The receptionists are helpful and when the occasional mistake is made they are always willing to go to great lengths to remedy them as soon as possible. I have the greatest faith in King Edward Road surgery and in all the practitioners who serve Us there
