    I recently visited the surgery for a routine appointment with Dr S Masood and I was so impressed with the experience that I feel compelled to comment. She went above and beyond. She made me feel at ease and took time to listen to me, I didn't feel rushed or like I was making a fuss, but she was so approachable and efficient. I was even given the follow up appointment before I left the room. All in all I felt like I was in very capable hands and had been listened to and that's why I wanted to comment.

    The Surgery is now run as a business and patient care is sadly lacking. Reception staff have a default of no rather than trying to help- a shrug or ‘don’t know ‘ seems to be an ok answer. I have stood in a queue waiting for the sole receptionist whilst 2 sat in the back chatting to a doctor. I’m sure that are on phone duty but that was not what they were doing. I wasn’t the only there for 20 minutes who commented about the lack of staff. Trying to to get an appointment is almost impossible. I don’t mind waiting for a routine appointment but even getting an acute one is difficult. I have been told the duty doctor was busy doing admin work and couldn’t see my child with an ear infection. The information is not passed on or triaged by a clinician- the receptionist decided and couldn’t be budged. Please Kirkburton remember that patients ARE your business.

    Thank you for your review. We are disappointed that your recent experience of the Practice was not to the standard we aim to provide. We can assure that we take any patient feedback very seriously however in order to fully investigate the issues you have raised we always find that it is useful for you to contact the Practice Manager to discuss. Unfortunately at the moment we are short staffed in reception but we are currently in the process of recruiting 2 full-time receptionists. If there are no appointments left for that day and a patient feels they need to be seen the receptionist will always speak with the on-call GP who if clinically indicated will see the patient as an extra. Our patients are very important to us and in order to improve our services we would recommend that you contact Julie Thornton the Practice Manager to discuss your concerns further as this can help to highlight training needs for staff etc. Thank you

    To start with iv previously had trouble getting appointments for a repeat prescription for my inhalers due to my asthma, I get told to ring back the next say but anyone who is an asthmatic knows how dangerous it can be woth out one. Since Friday I have been trying to get an appoint regarding my skin as if had a reaction but of course it's Monday and still no luck iv been told to keep ringing everyday. The lady on the phone told me to go to the chemist next door but as it's my face they couldn't do anything it has to be a gp. When explaining to the receptionist I got the same cold reply"ring at 8am tomorrow" but after 5 min let me fill a form out and the creams will be apparently ready today. Why do people have to make a fuss in the first place when it is possible?

    Thank you for your comments and we are sorry that you feel let down by your recent experience at the Practice. With regards to your inhaler you would not require an appointment for this. You can order repeat prescriptions via our online repeat prescription request service which is very popular with patients as it means you can request your medication at any time. We would always recommend that patients monitor their medication and place their orders prior to running out as there is a 48 hour process time for repeat prescriptions to ensure safe prescribing. With regards to an appointment for your skin, we would always recommend speaking to a pharmacist in the first instance. However, unfortunately they were unable to help you on this occasion. We have a limited number of same day urgent appointments available for urgent problems that cannot wait, available to book each morning at 8am. The receptionist would have passed your prescription request for your creams through to the on-call GP. Unfortunately there are guidelines for practitioners to adhere to for safe prescribing and it is not a case of just signing a prescription hence a 48 hour turn around. However the on-call GP will have reviewed the request so that you could receive your treatment the same afternoon. We would always encourage patients when they have concerns to raise them directly with the Practice so that incidents can be fully investigated which we cannot do with anonymous comments.
