When you do all the appointments have gone. Usually call in the morning if its for children 8am. By the time I get through all the appts are gone. 8 06/03/13 10:37AM As iit takes so long to get appts in advance phoning on the day is not good enough. When you work it is very difficult 9 06/03/13 10:39AM 10 06/03/13 10:47AM 11 06/03/13 10:52AM 12 07/03/13 9:01AM 13 07/03/13 9:25AM 14 07/03/13 9:29AM 15 08/03/13 3:49PM 16 08/03/13 7:14PM I never try - I attend in person to make an appt it can vary a little but in general the above applies I have always phoned before 9am so i don't know about other times An improved booking system on the day is required I hate the 8am routine - By this time I am 30 mls away at work to be told to come in at 11!! Dont like ringing in morning to book appointment for same day when I have tried day before Hate calling at 8am as by the time i get thru,there are never any appointments left!!!!! We are told to ring at 8am if you want appointment that day but it can take half an hour to get through so by that time all the appointments have gone!! Even though we have number on speed dial and try every 30 seconds!! 17 08/03/13 8:02PM 18 11/03/13 1:26PM 19 11/03/13 4:58PM Always hard to get in on 8am urgent call, I have phoned early in the morning by 8:15 and been told there were no appointments available. I have now resulted to getting waiting outside the surgery until the doors are open to ensure I get an appointment. This is not satisfactory. 20 16/03/13 12:11PM phoning at 8am is difficult because I'm at work by then and I don't have time to hold on. If i call later all the appointments have gone 21 18/03/13 8:59AM 22 20/03/13 8:15AM Booking system is a disaster. I travel a lot so cannot ring in the morning whenever I ring at 8:00 I can never get through. It takes 4 or 5 minutes of constant redialling only to be told there are no appointments left. Can someone explain how it is possible for all appointments to have been taken within 4 minutes! Disgraceful. 23 25/03/13 9:04AM I have had to start coming down to the surgery at 8am on the day I need an appt as the phone lines are always so busy before 9am then by 830am all appointments have gone for the day Matrix Charts

I think there are times when they need to be more patient centred and remember that their conversations on the phone and with each other can be heard in the waiting room approachable. pleasant. could not be better See below, the same applies I have always found the staff kind and helpful Recently a bit rude which was not necessary 8 08/03/13 12:29PM I think this needs to be improved, particualrly when speaking with someone from an ethnic minority. I find the customer service, at best, pretty patronsing, on the few times I have been, as well as on the phone. 9 08/03/13 3:49PM 10 08/03/13 7:14PM 11 11/03/13 1:26PM 12 11/03/13 4:58PM 13 16/03/13 12:11PM 14 18/03/13 9:05AM 15 18/03/13 9:56AM 16 20/03/13 8:15AM 17 25/03/13 9:04AM They are usually very pleasant Some are better than others - a warm smile is always welcome! Only thing is its not very private when the receptionist asks you what's wrong & where your rash is infront of all other patience standing beside you! Also the blood pressure monitor is not private either. I suffer with chronic depression. I've often been told there are no appointments to see a dr and some of the receptionists appear to be unsympathetic to my needs. They work very hard and stay calm when patients are upset or demanding Some are better than others She want to know why you want to see dr. That is for dr to know otherwise she is very nice Condescending and unhelpful. Will do all they can to answer youe questions, meet and greet with a smaile. During my recent 6 months off work poorly, they were all brilliant, it was lovely that they remembered who I was \ why I was signed off and always wished me better 8.

I've never asked a doctor to phone me and didn't know it was possible. Never tried this very good service I understand how busy the surgery is, but perhaps a more specific time indicated as to when the nurse is likely to ring you back would be extremely helpful, I do however appreciate that this will not always be possible. Nurse I spoke to over the phone most recently was fantastic, gave me lots of advice, listened to my symptoms and was caring and concerned. 9.

Sometimes they request information that is not clearly known or understood by the patient or relative. perhaps 1 day a week early & late openings happy as it is The surgery should at least be open on Saturday mornings for emergencies This is only because I am at work during the week THe current set up has always been grossly inadequate we work too and our time is costly Please take into account patients who work in London or further afield. It's extremely difficult and sometimes impossible to get an appointment in the early evening (after 5pm). I am now working full time hours and cannot get there during the day without taking a days holiday. I work in london and ineed an appointment after 6 - These are very difficult to get. Eariler / later appointments for those who work Illness does not take the weekend off! I would just like to be able to book an appointment to suit my travel schedule Do not trust OOH doctors I think everyone at the practice works long enough hours as it!! no change in my opinion. 10.

Calling at 8am results in being offered no appointment and. Being asked to call at 8am next day. This results in the same again. It is all 'pot luck' I think there should have been another here because I do not believe it is impossible but often times I have to wait more than a week to see a preferred doctor great service 4 28/02/13 10:49PM I usually have to book about 2 weeks in advance to see my preferred doctor, I don't think I have ever been able to see my doctor within a week, never within 3 days. 5 08/03/13 7:14PM 6 09/03/13 5:31PM 7 11/03/13 4:58PM We are told we can't make appointments a few days/week plus ahead but to ring on the day at 8am as my comment above, which is crazy!! Not impossible but often over a week to wait. I've tried to book my preferred dr in advance but have even found this difficult 8 12/03/13 11:35AM I had to wait just short of 4 weeks to see any doctor for mey requested time and was told by reception it's difficult to get doctors who will work in the evening. I was not impressed given the very long hours I do in my profession. 12. If you don't mind which doctor you see how soon can you get an appointment? 1 The same day 59.57% 84

Almost every time I try to make an appointment I am told there are no pre-bookable appointments so I should phone on the day for an emergency appointment, when I do I am asked if it is an emergency, if I say no I get told I cannot have an appointment and to go the walk in center so I have to say yes even though I wouldn't really call the reason a medical emergency, I have also heard other people being told this when I am in the surgery waiting, this is a good surgery but the system with appointments is a real problem. As previous really!! if urgent have normally been seen the same or next day. if i call in the morning i can usally get apointment that day Over a week usually If I manage tp get through on the phone before all appointments are gone I can usually get an appointment for the same day. Often though I try lots of times and when I eventually get through I am told all appointments for that day are gone. I have been told it is not possible to book appointments for the next day and usually am quoted 2 weeks for a bookable appointment 13.

I have waited more than half or three quarters of an hour. But some are very much more time aware. I am not entirely sure I care much about this as there have been times when my appointments have run later than expected. If I expect a level of care for myself then I need to extend that to other patients too but understand and prepared to wait. INR Blood test appointments are invariably upt o 25 minutes late if you have set time slots for appts they should be kept to and not overrun Surgery has never catered for those who work nor appeared to have done anything to compromise Whenever I attend I'm never seen on time and very rarely get an apology. Sonetimes it's been an hour or over!! My last appointment was 45 minutes late and i received no apology from the Doctor 10 16/03/13 12:11PM I have heard others complaining about this but I would rather the doctor takes the time needed with me than be watching the clock 11 18/03/13 9:43AM 12 25/03/13 9:04AM How can an 08:50 appt be 30 minutes + late?? I understand that if a dr or nurse is running late this will impact the time I am seen, not usually a problem, I understand. The care this practice has provided for me over the last few months has been incredible thank you/ 14.
