STORY

Are you happy with your local GP practice?

Tony Green: The GP’s are great it’s the receptioni­sts who are the ones that bring the surgeries down.

Angela Douthwaite:

Used to be excellent but not happy with service now, nightmare to even get through on phone. Bridge medical practice formerly Dr Choi and partners.

Rachel Sara: Park Lane practice is brilliant. Can’t speak highly enough of Dr Joseph.

Kat Watson: I'm not happy with the lack of patients being seen face to face, however there are ways to get through other than just trying to ring every day. I did an e-consult and got a call a few hours later and face to face the next day. It's much more efficient, just people don't know how to use it and isn't suitable for everyone.

Susan Price Chipp: Why is it that everywhere is open now apart from the Drs, they should be seeing patients now face to face even if they tell you to wear a mask, too many people suffering as it is

Donna Gibson: I've just changed GPs to St Bede Medical and they are absolutely brilliant.

Val Cousins: Well at our doctor at Silksworth you can’t get passed the reception, they seem to say who can see a doctor, you have to wait ages to get through to doctors and phone calls to me are no good.

Jean Burnip: Ours is always empty, and you have to wait weeks for an appointmen­t, even to see a nurse. Cant understand the long waits for appointmen­ts when the waiting rooms are actually empty!!

Janette Husband:

Houghton Medical Group is brilliant! They have never stopped face to face! You get telephone appointmen­t and if you need to be seen you are straight in! Brilliant staff brilliant doctors! Well done to you all.

Mark Junkin: Rickleton Medical Centre. Absolutely fantastic.

The doctor and staff are brilliant. Small practise which shows as everyone knows you.

Bill Walton: Absolutely fantastic. No complaints with Whitburn Surgery.
