Mirfield Health Centre

Got a letter from my GP saying I was pre-diabetic - I had no idea or inclination about it, so I made an appointment to see a diabetic nurse. I had no warning by my doctor after my blood test - and think I should've been talked to about this.

Respectful staff. Quick service. Hard to get appointment

Really good service. I got treated straight away. The care of the doctors is good they are doing a damn good job. They come and see me.

Very forward-thinking when it came to HRT; open to prescribing what I asked for. Also, up to date with NICE guidelines, i.e. that HRT is a first line approach for menopausal symptoms rather than anti-depressants as per out of date practice.

Ringing at 8am and finding you're 5th in the queue is actually quite lucky, as it probably means there's 20 people behind you...it is quite easy to get on the day appointments, and so for that it is good. However, I have had two experiences where I wasn't happy with the treatment. One I went for cystic, painful acne, for which a nurse told me to use medication in the wrong way, which ended up burning my face - she eventually referred me to a dermatologist, she was lovely, though. Another, I went to the GP with a nasal infection, and he didn't seem to take me seriously at all, presumably because of my age. He ended up prescribing me some medication that worked, so I can't really complain. Overall, it's generally quite good.

Really helpful and polite over phone
Quite easy to get apt on the day
Generally seem okay overall

Never had any problem getting an appointment on the day. Always make use of cancelled appointments. Reception staff very helpful.

Trying to get an appointment is difficult, but everything else is usually fine

The staff are extremely negative. Can't get appointment. Have made a complaint and felt I was branded a trouble causer.

When ringing can always get an appointment; normally see nurse practitioner (they are really good)
Receptionists sometimes let it down - patronising attitude.
