My wife saw the Diabetes Nurse today. She was so helpful. Many thanks.
Reception staff excellent, as always, thank you. You all do a thankless task with very little public appreciation.
Thank you for your kind feedback
Very poor attitude from the receptionist I dealt with - unhelpful, truculent and screwing up her face. The nurse, on the other hand, was very capable and professional in her manner. Waiting times are very long - I have been quoted a month for a named GP appointment.
Perhaps you could kindly make contact with the practice manager to discuss these matters so we can look to help you? Hannah Price is in most days and can be contacted by asking for her at reception on 01843 848818
I would be a patient if I could get an appointment. However I try not to make appointments at the surgery because it is so difficult. If you are not an emergency or a "regular" then you have a two week wait. My work place signed me off sick so I thought I should ensure I got the correct diagnosis and treatment before returning to work. This is therefore not an emergency in my eyes but to have to plan sickness/illnesses into your work life is not realistic. If it was an emergency I anticipate I would be calling an ambulance or be taken to the hospital rather than the doctors. Just my opinion.

Reception is a joke , I'd like to know what medical training they receive to be able to tell me whether I need the doctor? And that an appointment can't be made until a recent test result I had is back !!!! So no appointment!!!! Thank you
ITS A JOKE THIS SURGERY, WAITING FOR AN APPOINTMENT TAKE AGES. PRESCRIPTIONS ARE NEVER EVER READY WHEN THEIR SUPPOSE TO BE READY, THE SURGERY ITS TOTALLY UNFIT FOR PURPOSE.
