Pleasently surprised! So far so good ! Moved to this surgery from a different county! Naturally I was expecting a lot of problems with the ongoing issues within NHS and current events, which I know cannot be helped by the staff. There was no pre recorded list of excuses to listen to before the phone actually rang! Registering was easy, reception staff were very helpful and polite when I enquired about registration! A medication review with a DR was completed in what I consider a very timely manner! Prescriptions completed with no issues! Information was text to me in a very timely manner regarding

Disgusting surgery, they don't care about their patients any more. I wrote a letter of complaint after waiting months for calls or some sort of communication and I chased up for help but got nowhere, then response from the practise manager showed me exactly why the surgery is the way it is. I have been with them my entire life but I now have too many concerns about them and will be moving my family from their care. Hospital staff have told me to complain about the care they provided myself and my child in the past but I never did as I know with the system and you get nowhere plus I appreciate how
