Thank you to everyone who has responded. The  majority of our patients have been satisfied with the treatment received. However we recognise that a number of patients are not happy with the current system of the triage system to request an appointment or if they are not offered help in the timescale they would wish. Unfortunately due to continuing high demand and in line with many other practices we need to ensure we manage demand as safely as possible. Some of our patients have commented that sometimes they are not seen on time when they have an appointment. Unfortunately some patients unexpectedly take longer than others during an appointment which means a doctor can run late. However, if this is the case and you are unable to wait we can of course rebook your appointment. 

We will continue to evaluate and monitor feedback.
