I have been a patient with this practice for over a year and I have never been able to book an appointment with my registered doctor. The surgery provides a very limited service compared to my last surgery. This surgery is in a prodominatly elderly area thus struggles with patients misusing the practice. Appointments can only be made on the day from 8:30 in the morning and are usually all taken by 9:00. You CAN NOT book advanced appointments. They do offer emergency appointments however if its a emergency I would go to a hospital. When making appointments be advised it takes between 10 to 20 minutes to get through to a receptionist. If your lucky the receptionist might suggest you seeing another doctor at the practice that day if your doctor is booked up which mine always is. Although from my experience I strongly don't recommend this, as the doctor you might see doesn't read up your medical file beforehand and behaves more like a proscription vending machine. That's not a doctor that's a pharmacist. A lot of pharmacist can write proscriptions now, please don't misuse the practise. The surgery has no walk in appointments services and offers no medical services over the weekend. Yes it's a busy surgery however that is because it provides a outdated appointment booking system. This surgery is only sutible for the elderly and the unemployed as working people would not be able to book advanced appointments around their working commitments.
