Appointment was on time. Surgery clean and tidy. Staff friendly.

No call back with a response to my enquiry. I had to chase it up 2 days later. Initial trained care navigator was empathetic and helpful

Every single time I go to the surgery, they’re friendly and take the time to listen and help. I can’t believe it’s a NHS surgery

Doctor gave me time to explain my symptoms. Didn't feel hurried.

I am delighted with the care received on all levels from the surgery and very helpful staff.

 I asked for a routine appointment. It was arranged within hours for the following week which is brilliant. My Doctor was running on tine and she was empathetic, listened to everything I needed to explain and talked me through all my options. I can out feeling listened to with a clear plan of action. Thank you!

Everyone is very helpful, and being able to e-consult is a real bonus

The service (so far) has been only reactive to my requests for further help. I feel that that I am being a nuisance to ask that my symptoms - which have not improved, require further investigation. No tests results have been discussed with me by a medical professional, nor has anyone contacted me to ask if my symptoms have improved or changed. My initial appointment was on 16th January and there has been no follow up that was not initiated by me.

 Because you’re a wonderful medical practice and we’re so blessed to have you here for us in Rudgwick

 Problem was resolved very quickly and prescriptions available same day. Jess was kindness itself

Excellent response with appointment excellent service throughout thank you

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.
