From the lovely practise manager, surgery secretary, reception staff
and of course all of the medical team, I have always been treated with courtesy, kindness and understanding.
Many of the above have often gone out of their way to help me.
I really cant thank them all for their professionalism and kindness shown to me over the years.
Well done!
In general I've found everyone to be friendly, knowledgeable and helpful - there are the occasional slightly curt conversations, but having worked with the public for many years I appreciate that we all have those kind of days.
Since having our daughter a few weeks ago we've been much more frequent visitors and really do complement the team on the service - in particular Dr Hirani and Jenny on reception have been excellent.
My only two pieces of critical feedback would be:
1) When I was younger I remember seeing the same GP at every visit, which meant you had a continuity of care. That's really missing these days (I appreciate that makes me sound like a grumbly old git, but it's true) - that isn't exclusive to this surgery though.
2) The booking system is also not unique to the surgery, but it's a really horrible way to try and get to see a doctor. We've got a new-born who often keeps us up until the early hours; so waking at 8.30am to queue and try and get an appointment is painful. I'm sure there are better ways to book and I'm certain that in the past you could book in advance to see a doctor. I appreciate this is probably due to rampant underfunding of the NHS, but worth mentioning.
