I have been at this practice for 35 years. I don’t use the practice very often ( which is why I stayed) but when I do need to the experience has never been great. The receptionist are quite bullish but I suppose it’s not surprising as they do see 100s of patients a day some which are challenging no doubt, but that shouldn’t excuse being polite to the next patient! The practice manager is not someone I hold any confidence in having given me wrong information In the past.! The practice hide behind flawed policy citing these to hide their own incompetences. Working in the NHS myself I truly understand the pressures medical and non medical staff are under but this has to be the worst practice I have ever seen. There is only one doctor that actually shows the empathy and sensitivity one would expect. There are other much much better local practice which I will moving to. | ||||||

I suggest a review and overhaul of the receptionists, incorporating training in communications skills and good manners.
The receptionists seem to think they decide when you have a repeat prescription. I indicated I needed I prescription a week early due to going on holiday. Did I get it? NO.
Also, when the receptionists do phone about something they appear to not want to do the job. They leave garbled, hurried, unclear messages that I cannot understand - clear telephone speaking and use does not actually take any extra time.
Finally, passing on messages: When I phoned the surgery for an appointment, I explained I had my flu vaccination at Boots and asked if they would like to put it on my record. The Receptionist told me it was not necessary to do so. When I next went to the surgery she asked I had had a flu vaccination, I re-explained that I had, I got told in no uncertain terms that I should I have notified the surgery! Reply from Heaton Mersey Medical Practice Fri, 02 Mar 2018 14:42:10 Z Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear of your recent experiences at the surgery. All requests for medication that are not yet due are passed to a GP for authorisation and our receptionists are not involved in this process. We are unable to explain what happened in your particular circumstance without further information from you, but would be happy to investigate further if you would furnish us with more details. When a patient receives their influenza vaccination at a pharmacy, the pharmacist is contractually obliged to provide us with information regarding this. We use this notification to update your records, as it usually contains more information than the patient can provide us with - such as the batch number of the vaccine etc. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss these issues with you, with a view to resolving them. If you are able, please contact the Practice Manager on the usual practice telephone number - 0161 426 9400. | ||||||

I have recently had need to visit this surgery regularly and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough, the GP I was seeing went above and beyond anything you could expect with her care and compassion and helped me get through such a difficult time. | ||||||
