Do Not bother with this surgery, there’s never any appointments. The phone lines open at 8am you are 5th in queue by the time you speak to receptionist, all appointments are taken. There’s always just one doctor.

Suggested improvements
Have more doctors available to actually see patients.

Absolutely shocking GP surgery cannot get an appointment to see a dr everything by phone receptionist are rubbish and rude with the exception of 1 when I go in and say my partner has to see dr to be able to be signed back to work and I am told no dr has to decide if he needs to be seen, over a 2 week wait for a phone call place should be shut down if my partner now goes back to work with out being seen by his dr and anything happens to him cause he is not fit enough I will be seeing this surgery in court.

Suggested improvements
Maybe dr could stop sitting on there back sides demanding more pay which no you dont deserve actually should have your wages reduced

I phoned in at 07:59 and went through all the options to be pressed, by the time it finally went through I was number 12 on the queue. The receptionist finally answered (rudely) only for him to say there is no appointment available for the day. My question is are the doctors seeing only 11 people for the day??? How is this possible? I have been waiting for more than a month for an x-ray to be written down for me to go and book yet not even 1 single doctor is available to do that for me.

Suggested improvements
Employ polite receptionist and the doctors need to see patients on time

The surgery is descending into farce. Recently, I put in my repeat prescription request. Four days later, it's not ready. Receptionist 1 says I have to ring the doctor on Monday - she can't sort it out of course - and that anyway, my prescription is being discontinued (a completely random untruth). So I go back to the surgery on Monday, and Receptionist 2 says that she is aware of my prescription request but that I can't collect it as it was only made one working day ago. Patiently, I told Receptionist 2 that my request was made five working days ago: she sighed, asked me to wait a minute, came back with my prescription, and then whined to me 'why didn't the receptionist sort this out on Friday?' A time-consuming charade, You couldn't make it up. On the broader subject of appointments, it is no longer possible to make one. You have to go in at 08:00 or hope to get through by ringing, and then wait for a call back from a Doctor that you may or may not be able to take, and that is typically 5+ hours later. What sort of patient service is this?

The surgery does not offer routine appointments for long term conditions. The only way to get an appointment is ring up in the morning at 8 and then the GP would ring you back the same day at some point and give you an appointment or telephone advice which does work well for acute problems but not for chronic conditions where I know I need to be seen again in 2 weeks time. The 2 regular GPs for the practice are very good, very hardworking and caring. However often we have to see the locum GP- Dr Dario- who I have to say is completely not interested, does not listen and just wants you out of her room.
