I recently had a bit of a health scare which meant that It perhaps wouldn’t be safe for me to go on holiday but with the kind help and consideration of the Staffa health team I got there! I cannot thank the Dr enough as she really did push that extra mile but then again she always does and she makes a massive impact on a world where quite often no one can be bothered to try that little bit harder for someone else but she did and I cannot thank her enough for her expertise and professionalism.
I have been a patient here for as long as I can remember and am grateful to every member of the team and perhaps I am guilty like everyone else of taking it for granted when we should show more support. Thank you to you all. |

I am 19 years old and the way I have just been spoken to on the phone by one of the reception staff was not nice at all! She was probably one of the rudest people I’ve ever spoken to. Don’t have a job as a receptionist if you can’t talk to people properly. I rang up twice as I had been told different things to do with my repeat prescription and was told to ring the surgery and forward what the medicines team had told me. I rang up again to double check my prescription had gone through and all I received was snotty words from the other end of the line and ‘I have told you this already, don’t listen to what they say to you’ well who am I meant to listen to?!?!!! |

I can understand appointments sometimes being behind time - but they are always behind at Staffa, usually 15 minutes at Tibshelf - which is still annoying when the check in machine says no wait - but at least 15 minutes is not too bad - but over 45 minutes late at first time at Pilsley - that's not really an acceptable time wait - especially without letting the patient know that there is any kind of wait - or keeping them informed. As you have to arrive on time for the appointment, it meant we were waiting around in the waiting room for over an hour, and there were only 3 other people in the waiting room when we arrived and for the next half an hour (and saw at least 3 different doctors / nurses on duty - so no idea why the waiting times are so far off of the appointment times - especially as we'd see patients come out and then no one else go in for over 15 minutes sometimes!) Not everyone can sit around waiting all day! I appreciate that the doctor being seen is very in demand, due to their caring nature, etc. and they take extra time with patients - that's all really good and as it should be - But the appointment times should be adjusted to cope with this, so that patients are given a realistic time for their appoitment and so that the appointments are not always so far behind! Or at least tell the patients to always turn up half an hour or so after their scheduled appointment, then they won't have to wait round for as long! Reply from STAFFA HEALTH - Pilsley Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:12:23 Z Thank you for your comment. I appreciate that having to wait can be frustrating and we do ask our reception team to keep patients updated if there is a problem and the clinicians have been delayed. Our check in facility at each surgery is not able to be specific for each of our clinicians about time delays, so is unable to alert /report to staff. In general we operate an appointment system which does have a degree of flexibility. Our clinicians have 10 or 15 minute appointments and it is possible if needed to book a double appointment. Our trainee doctors have 20 or 30 minute appointments. Every day we offer a mix of routine and urgent appointments. Whilst the clinicians endeavour to keep to the appointment time allocated it is not always easy to keep rigidly to the time allowed. This is particularly the case with urgent appointments which are offered 10 minutes and in many cases the problem may take longer to resolve. The doctor having seen a patient in an urgent appointment slot has to ensure they have the appropriate service and this may take longer that the time allotted. If this happens with more than one patient the clinic can be delayed. To help with this we do allocate some administration time in the clinics to enable the doctor catch up if needed. We never plan to keep people waiting, rather we plan the surgeries to keep to time. We would not advise people to come late as they may miss their appointment. I will re enforce with the reception staff the need to let people know if doctors are delayed so that they can have the option to rebook for another time I am sorry that you were kept waiting and if you do want to discuss this further please contact me at the surgery.
