Report
Great GP & nurses. Exceptional healthcare. Two terrible reception staff who make the experience to receive medical care & prescriptions incredibly difficult, very stressful and hard work. Formal complaints procedure should be put in place & training in customer care & disability awareness implemented.

. Doctors are hardly ever there. I've seen the locum more times than my gp. Takes forever to answer the phone and when they do the staff are very abrupt. when questioned about this the reply is that they are very busy. have tried ask My gp but it always crashes. when I questioned staff I get told it must be my fault. if that was the case they shouldn't be very busy . I will be taking my complaints higher as I'm very disappointed. I can't see a doctor but I have seen a nurse twice and my dentist 5 times during lockdown. it's a disgrace.

Fairly modern and multi practice from G. P. To chiropody, walk in centre and treatments centre etc. Well equipped and efficient with pleasant surroundings and lots of free parking well served by buses and trams and taxis with shopping and banks close by.

Rather rude and abrupt reception staff. Didn't say a word to them and they announced "we can't you in here without an appointment" and shut their little window. I was taken aback so just trotted out, while on shouted "just use the app". I less conflict averse person than me would not have reacted well to this. I did not respond and just left. As I was going down the stairs a blonde nurse told me to hurry up. Really unpleasant exercise.

Dr. Ralph is a doctor with vast knowledge and experience. He has the right approach to the patient. The right man in the right place.

Practice has introduced an online system to contact them. Doesnt work with various browsers, doesnt allow messages to be sent or appointments booked or prescriptions requested. Calling the surgery is pointless because no one answers the phone. Doctors are decent but I have no idea how to actually make an appointment with them - dire!
