Always had excellent service from all members of staff. Staff are empathetic and listen to problems and direct to the relevant clinicians. Never any issues with appts they will try there very best to get you seen. They will phone you back when they say they will. All gps are good take on board what you have discuss and give honest information about your health. Dr Norfolk and Dr Graham have a grt team. | ||||||

Absolutely disappointed... waiting one and a half weeks for registration then another one week for appointment and now the lady from the reception tell me that I have to come back after one more week half nine in the morning to book my appointment with midwife... so I have to wait another one week just to book my appointment with midwife and who know how many weeks I have to wait for it after that.. my baby will come out before I see the midwife.... if you just move in blyth do not make the mistake to register with marine medical group!!

Having recently moved to the area and being heavily pregnant, I tried to register on the day of moving, completed the forms and handing them back with ID the following day. I highlighted at the time that I required a midwife appointment as soon as possible, given that I need to book in with them and my hospital of choice. I was told by reception to "ring in a few weeks". I was sent away wondering what was going to happen to my care in the lead up to birth.
A week or so later, as instructed, I rang for an appointment with a midwife and was told they were not giving any away as they are relocating rooms. I highlighted my concerns and was given a phone number for local midwives. I rang this number several times and was just left with it ringing out, no one answering and no message facility.
I contacted the Marine Medical Group again and explained my dilemma, now almost three weeks after completing my registration paperwork- who informed me I was not on their system and could not book an appointment. I reinforced the urgency of my need for an appointment and the receptionist stated she could provisionally book an appointment for me in two weeks, complete registration dependent.
I am left feeling bewildered and frustrated by the services of Marine Medical Group thus far. I am not the first person to relocate in pregnancy and I am sure I won't be the last. The lack of support and ability to get an appointment at a time when I should be seeing a midwife fortnightly is appalling and unfortunately my dealings thus far have left me wondering whether it is somewhere I want to continue attending. | ||||||
