Interested in using EConsult

May 24, 2022
It is getting better to get face to face appointments. I would be interested in learning how to use the online E consult as I ring up at the moment to book appointments and sometimes can be left waiting . Doctors are OK and usually helpful in sending for tests if needed .

Waiting to get through in a morning

May 24, 2022
When we ring in a morning we have to wait about 30 minutes, that is the main concern otherwise they are very good. I don't know how to use E consult . Staff kind and doctors sometimes helpful and sometimes not as much. When my children are sick they say its a virus but don't give medication for them and then when they don't improve over two weeks they will then give them the medication. I fee this is not good and they should be given the medicine sooner.

Hard to get through to surgery

May 24, 2022
I have been trying to get appointment for the last couple of days that is the only problem . I use E consult but you have to contact the surgery to get that and its hard to get through and you are kept on hold for ages, sometimes 30 minutes, and when you are here it is quiet with hardly anyone waiting in the waiting room. Recently I couldn't get through to the surgery to ask for information about medication we had been prescribed. Staff are pleasant and helpful but I had to push to be given a face to face appointment and felt I needed one as it was for a child and I didn't want to go to A&E and the problem has been going on for quite a while now .

Doctors don't always listen to me

May 24, 2022
I have to ring up but its difficult to get through on the phone to book appointments .I am not good on Internet so don't use E consult . Some receptionists can be rude and try to diagnose you themselves this feels uncomfortable to me. I have had a problem in the past where I didn't get the correct results from tests. Doctors don't always listen to me.

Happy

May 24, 2022
I am happy, we get told to ring up at 8am to get an appointment as I don't really know how to use E consult and don't really understand how to use it. They have told me how to use it a couple of times and I have tried but I still find it difficult to do so they have given me other options and I call in and they email the doctor and forward a message for me . Receptionist friendly and always someone to help with language barrier.

May 24, 2022
It can be difficult to get an appointment when I called in and it was busy 8am in the morning. Receptionist pretty friendly and helpful especially due to our language problem . Nurse in particular really helpful in explaining and breaking down information for us to understand easily We are quite new to this surgery but it is much better than our previous doctors surgery .

Hi,

Welcome to the surgery! Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. We are sorry to hear that you struggled to get through on the phone when trying to notify us you were running late. However, our phone lines can be quite busy all throughout the day unfortunately.

We are currently aiming to reduce wait times on the phone by implementing new services such as eConsult that can be used for admin queries/requests and requesting medical advice.
