Holt House

I have been extremely disappointed by the service received. Earlier in the year, on 2 occasions whilst heavily pregnant I left work in Derby to travel to appointments at Holt House. On the first occasion there was no record of my appointment and on the second occasion it had been cancelled but I had not been notified (except for a letter that was waiting that day when I got home AFTER the appointment). Most recently my appointment was cancelled by text message which was fine although I received a letter a few days after implying that it was in fact I who had missed the appointment and that I should in future make contact if I am not able to attend!! I have since tried to phone several times in order to book an appointment only to be kept on hold for over 15 minutes each time and have so far therefore been unsuccessful. As an NHS employee myself I would be extremely disappointed to offer such a poor service, particularly in a climate where budgets are tight and resources limited, as this impacts on both the service and the patients. I would be more than happy to discuss these issues further in order to help improve vital services

Thank you for taking time to offer your feedback. It is extremely important for us as a practice to learn where we can make improvements to our service.
On looking at your records, I can see that we did have to cancel one of your appointments in March due to snowy weather, where the staff could not attend work, and one in November when the hygienist was unwell.
I am extremely sorry that you were kept waiting on the telephone for over 15 minutes, but we have been short staffed recently, and this has left one sole receptionist to see to 3 surgeries and 3 telephone lines. We have now started recruitment for this position, so hopefully this will prevent this from happening in the future.
Kind regards

I would not want it to close as I'm happy to continue using Holt House. However there is nearly always an issue with waiting. Frequently by 30 minutes. Staff seem to come and go quite regularly so there is sometimes a lack of continuity. The care/ treatment I've had has been fine . The meet and greet at reception needs improving.

Thank you for taking time to offer your feedback on our practice.
On checking your appointment times on our audit system from the beginning of this year, I can see that on 5 occasions, you have been taken into surgery within 5 minutes of your arrival, and that we kept you waiting on one occasion for 28 minutes, of which I am extremely sorry. We do endeavour to keep to time, but on occasions this can be off set by seeing emergency patients.
As we share staff between our sister practices, it can seem that the staff do come and go, but they can either be at our other practice or in a different surgery that day.
Kind regards

As I get very anxious when I have to come, I have to say my dentist and especially the dental nurse on my last visit were very calming. Thank you

Access is not good as lots of steps and nowhere close to park. Needed to bring new born baby so had her in carrier but was unable to put her anywhere due to health and safety. Luckily we had bumped into a family member who I was able to leave her with during my appointment.

Dear Hayley
There is a low level access to the practice just past the front door, if you wish to bring the baby and pram in the future. If you need any help at all, them please ring reception and they will be more than happy to help you.
There is parking in the train station, which is a 5 minute walk from the practice.
Many thanks for your feedback.
Kind regards
