Was feeling very poorly and the gp I saw listened to what I was saying and gave me medication for my bad migraines.

Not the best experience

3 out of 5 stars

I booked my appt online for a blood test and turned up to my appt to be told I got the wrong day.
The receptionist wasn’t overly friendly but polite. She asked the nurse if she could squeeze me in after her next appt, as my bloods literally take 3 minutes as I had the form ready, but she said no it was her tea break. The hospital needed the bloods a couple of days later and I couldn’t get another appt until after the hospital needed them but they didn’t care.
I had already travelled 15 minutes to get there with a baby and they couldn’t even just give me 3 minutes.
The receptionist told me to drive to Cosham and ask them if they could do it there, which I was not going to do as I know it would have been a no!! Pretty poor to be honest.

I have tried multiple times to be seen by a doctor but I'm always met by the receptionist asking questions that I don't feel comfortable asking. To then be told I have to ring back as all the appointments are gone or to try book online, where the only options are with a hcsw. I don't often ask to see a doctor so when I do, I have tried other avenues first. The lack of appointments are worrying.

Thank you for your feedback. Our contact centre is compromised of trained care navigators who have been fully trained to ensure you are put in touch with the most appropriate member of the team. Our GP Partners have asked our care navigators to ask specific questions as part of this protocol.

We have had online appointments available, and booked by patient's online; they are limited, as we are an appointment led service.

We do regularly review our appointments and try to maximise capacity where we can. Contractually we are required to offer 72 appointments per 1000 patients. We are often providing 90/100+. We do accept that GP demand is high which is why we care navigate to ensure they are used appropriately.

We are also reviewing our allocations of GP appointment (urgent / routine etc) to try and see if we can make improvements there. Please don't forget we also offer eConsult too, via our website.

A wonderful, caring doctor

Very satisfactory appointment, involving examination, for which the doctor brought in a chaperone. Very reassuring, as I hadn’t asked. He was thorough, kind and gentle and had suggested follow up from hospital. Also, telephoned to check how I was after a week. Couldn’t ask for anything more. A wonderful, caring doctor.

My appointment was for a blood test, which the nurse performed efficiently. There was a requirement for add on information (blood pressure, weight, etc. ) all dealt with in a friendly and professional manner.

After achieving a telephone consultation and physio appointment the meeting/consultation was fine. I now need a follow up meeting to discuss my x ray results and the way forward to reduce pain and increase mobility. So it's back to the phone at 10 AM or internet at 7PM - (refer below).

The receptionist was amazing, she couldn’t do more to help.
The surgery is now wheelchair friendly in fact it actively works against letting wheelchair users in the building. It urgently needs to inside to be gutted and the whole inside needs a rethink.
Even the consulting room was barely big enough to take me.
The doctor was creepy, I didn’t like him at all, he wouldn’t even sit down and towered over me while talking I found it intimidating. I hope I don’t get sent to him again.
My honest opinion of him also included the fact he had cognitive imparement, he couldn’t remember what I was saying and I had to keep repeating myself.

Thank you for your feedback. All PGP buildings meet the minimum requirements “Access to and use of building Approved Document M” some exceed. As PSG is a purpose built surgery and is one of our older sites it still meets the minimum requirements as outlined. An Audit is carried out across all site’s annually to monitor and record and we still are compliant. It is of course your choice to attend a different surgery, We are sorry that your experience with the doctor, was not a more positive one, we will share your experience with the doctor mentioned, to enable them to take learning from the points provided.

I was invited by the surgery to pop in and have my blood pressure taken, unfortunately it seeded rather high, I was advised by the nurse to monitor it for a week morning and evening for seven days and come back the following week. Results were my blood pressure was good for a man of my years.
Happy ending.
