    Receptionist good but the cleanliness of the building is disgusting main floor is filthy dust everywhere toilets needs good clean all over and the smell makes you feel sick.Considering this is a doctors surgery it makes you wonder why this is allowed it cannot be hygienic and the people who cleans it should be ashamed.

    There have been multiple times I've been on hold for well over 30 minutes even though I was only number 2 in the queue! Wait times for appointments are ridiculous. You are told to make an appointment with your regular doctor and not a different one, yet I've had times where I have to wait over a month for one. Other than that, most of the doctors are friendly and will try their hardest to help your problems.

    Thank you for your comments We monitor our phone access very carefully and 80% of calls are answered within 10 seconds from being in the initial queue so it would be very unusual for you to have to wait 20mins. It would be very helpful if you could contact the practice so we could look into this in more detail to ensure out phone system is working correctly We know the wait for a routine appointment is longer than we would like - we have had our funding cut by 25% in the last few years and the impact is now starting to be felt by patients. We are lobbying the BNSSG CCG for additional funding and if you would like to contact them as well that would support our case - again contact us if you would like to know who to call at the CCG Thank you for your positive contacts about the doctors you have seen

    A home visit from the practice nurse on the 21st of November I was very impressed with the way she interacted in a very kind and caring way she solved some problems for us and came back to me with the required information. I can only say how lucky the patients and the practice is to have her

    Thank you for your very positive comment which we will pass on to the nurse who visited you. This is the first year our practice nurses have gone out to do home visits for flu jabs and we are delighted it has been a success. You are very right - we are very lucky to have such a fabulous nursing team - as well as a whole practice team!
