Neither good nor poor

Everyone ringing for an appointment at 8am is not feasible. I have an app on my phone but no options to book online through the app. Having said that the staff are polite

Maybe allow patients to book a slot online and keep a few slots greyed out for emergency appointments. This way only patients who require to be seen urgently or elderly need to phone the surgery.

In the morning, I called the surgery as i had an ear ache. I already tried OTC and there was no change with the pain. The receptionist was very quick and made me feel very rushed. At first, I was given a telephone appointment which I debated stating an ear ache cannot be looked at over the phone. I stated i was unhappy with the service, the receptionist went back to the GP and i was given an appointment. However, the call was very rushed and cut stating the doctor will see you at 10am. I was not asked if that appointment was flexible for me. The doctor was very good and i was prescribed antibiotics. If I had to go through a telephone appointment, I probably would have not been given a prescription.

The receptionist needs to be more understanding towards patients. The call was very rushed and I can understand that call volumes are high. However, this is very poor communication. The receptionist came across as rude.

Good

I managed to got to see the doctor with over the phone appointment and later, I was asked to have a face to face appointment.

Normally all appointments are booked by 8.10am and this doesn’t leave a chance for people who are unable to phone at 8.00 am, specially for working people. Ay be if appointments are spaced out through the day might help.

Very poor

We work from 6 am in the morning and cannot ring at 8 am for appointments. we cannot sit with our phones for 45 mins before getting a chance at getting an appointment. i cannot get face to face appointments.

Please bring back online appointments for pre booking. please bring back face to face appointments with multiple questions. Improve phone lines for later appointments.
