Abbey Chemist (Lonend, Paisley)

I came into the chemist today to collect my son’s Dosset box which contains his epilepsy medication snd was told it was already away in the van. I asked would it be there by 6pm tonight as he had no medication for tonight and I was told it would be. No medication has arrived tonight and now I am really concerned he will have a seizure tonight. — Feem…@hotmail.co.ukreveal

New Forest Central Medical Group

I came in to temporarily register and was flatly refused. I needed advice and possible blood test because of my skin. Receptionist asked Practice Partner, she refused and I was standing there utterly disgusted that they can do this. I have been given help by Lymington Hospital twice but I do need to register with a Doctor. I am 63 years old and have a valid reason for asking for help. I am not a time waster. Lymington advised that I may have to go to Southampton Hospital. I will not go there an help add to the overstretched Nurses and Doctors massive work load.

Golborne Pharmacy

I would avoid this Chemist like the plague. They are not set up properly for doing flu vaccinations and are very offhand if you query what the young man says. No customer care at all. Avoid. —  

Fabulous coffee sold here . Visited 4/8/23. Best coffee I have had for years . Very helpful team . Great location . —  

East Hill Surgery

Dear Practice Manager & General Practitioner's

I wanted to express a view of concern as a patient who has been with the surgery since 2006.

I thoroughly appreciate the care I have had from the doctors in the surgery over the years and appreciate the tough time you have had through Covid.

I do however feel my accessibility to medical services has declined. It is impossible for a busy working mother to wait for a phone call as a first instance to talk to a doctor within an 4 hour window and not be able to see someone in person ?

There have been numerous times when I've called and been on hold for 45 - 1 to be told I need to book a window opportunity for a doctor to call me back .. it is impossible for most people to wait by the phone. Not to be able to emotionally connect in person with a doctor regarding the important reason you may be calling. If you are triaged to see a doctor you then have the next difficult task to get an appointment that is convenient. So difficult to see a doctor in the evening or weekends .. when most people can and it's not an emergency .., I work a number of weekends and week days in London .. so know how important flexibility is.

Please could I implore you to bring back the come and wait to see a doctor opportunity in the mornings or something that makes seeing a doctor more accessible. The lovely receptionist explained to me today it's not coming back ...and doctors feel they can see more people .. it feels the reverse for your patients.

The next door doctors still offers the service to see a doctors in the morning which feels like the best way to give your patients more options.

I have also had trouble even getting an appointment to get a coil fitted over the last two years as you only have one or two practitioners that can do this and you offer no free appointments and don't have the diary far out in advance .. again for normal people to plan ! I miss have been recommended this might be a good option for me but just can't go through the pain of trying to book an appointment again - as I need a phone consultation again. A face to face and then the procedure !

Please just make the practice more accessible .. Covid did many things but lessening the service is so hard for many of your patients.

Thank you for your consideration.

First time at the Blue Boar, made welcome by the friendly staff. Service was first class, food was generous side portion even though our party of 4 order from the under £10 menu. It came quickly and more importantly was all piping hot. The pub was extremely busy, but the car park was large and parking was easy. Highly recommend you try this pub, but book first as you might be disappointed if you don’t. We will definitely return. First class, service, food and the price was very fair. — Gord…@googlemail.comreveal

Day Lewis Pharmacy

It seems that if I want a repeat prescription now I have to contact the pharmacy.
Been trying to contact the pharmacy continuously from 9am - 12pm with no success. Now I’m trying to email without being able. How can this be progress, I used to be able to call in and within a few days the medication would be ready.
If this is the way it you need to man the phones. —

We recently visited Corbridge and stayed for a few days to visit our daughter. We were very impressed with Halcyon House Cafe in the Square in Corbridge.

East Harling Pharmacy

Well what a welcome today. I walked into the Chemsits today at 0855 as the sign on the door said ‘open’ which normally means come on in. On entering Ineas warmly greatest by a “Were not open, we don’t open until 9!” But it says open, “that must be from last week.” We’ll also sleeve the sign and the door open so you can tell everyone else they are not open when the sign still says open. At 9am 3 customers walk-in and again “we are not open until 9am”. It is 9 am? “We need time to set up” Talk about being stressed. “We have locum@ And ? He seems calm. Why not lock the door until you are ready? Then I get my cream and say thank you I won’t be coming back. Unbelievable so had to bite my tongue — i…@darrenlewitt.comreveal  

Aqta Trading Ltd

Front of building is in a disgusting mess and little investment is being made to address repairs and a constant leaking pipe that makes the pavement slimy. Rubbish & Litter constantly blights the area yet most of the employees sit on a chair behind the till all day to even care to notice it’s their responsibility to keep clean. Do not use this store if hygiene is important to you. —  

Norwood Road Branch, The Southall Medical Centre

We are a care home and have recently registered our residents to the GP surgery. We have sent another three clients for registration which have not been processed. We found the receptionist team member not helpful in dealing with queries and appeared irritable when we were asking her questions as if we were taking her time. I sent 2 emails requesting for a meeting with the practice manager but never received a response. We feel the surgery is not interested in helping us. —  

They didn’t deliver my food and would not pick up the phone they have no address so I can’t do anything about it —

Gps Healthcare - Knowle Surgery

I came to the surgery yesterday and left a urine infection. I am now told that i should have made an appointment and that the sample has been discarded without anyone checking it . As i have kidney failure I find this to be not acceptable . It would only have taken a few seconds to check if it was clear or not . Now i have to stsrt ahain tomorrow when i probably wont be able to get an appointment ! Poor service ! —
