This was a great surgery. It is possible that Dr Linnard saved my life. You never know for sure but there is little doubt that when I was in desperate need of support she provided it. The place has gone to total pot. For some reason I cannot renew my prescription. Called the surgery in hours just now only to receive "surgery now closed". It is 17.00 and it closes at 18.00. Can't believe it. This is not a 111 or a 999 issue so what are patients supposed to do.

Report
The ineptitude of the receptionist was purely dumbfounding. Rude, obnoxious, unhelpful, and they were her better traits. I feel for the poor men and women that work tirelessly for the NHS, then you have clowns like this that just let the side down. From the start of the call to the abrupt end the call was mainly made up of her complaining about her day, every time I tried to speak she rudely cut in with excuses for why she could not help, despite having no idea what my question was going to be. When I very politely asked if she could let me speak for a moment she slammed the phone down.... hilarious

Report
My clinical experience of this practice over 30 years is that it is exemplary and literally life saving. Further, some detailed research I undertook putting the practice into context with others in Sheffield in general and Sheffield 10/11 in particular, using information in the public domain, shows that it is probably the best practice in Sheffield and certainly in the top 3. When we moved house 5 years ago a major criterion was that it should be in the practice's catchment area, what more can be said
