28. Comments and suggestions for the doctors • Dr Joughin - Is kind and always has time to listen to me, she always listens to you, great GP, always happy to help • Dr Joughin - Very rarely see a different Doctor and always try to see this particular Doctor as she is very good. • Dr Joughin - She is very understanding and a helpful Doctor. • Dr Joughin - Excellent service as usual, this has been my practice for years and would never change. • Dr Harman - Dealt with my health problem most efficiently. • Dr Jones - He is the best GP in the whole surgery!

29. Suggestions for the surgery • Revert back to old system for making appointments to see a Doctor. • Still can't understand why the Doctor has to phone you then arrange to meet you. • Cut Waiting time to see a Doctor. • Not liking the phone call from the Doctor at 8.30am. • Hate having to wait for the Doctor to ring back to see if an appointment is needed. • Over the last few years there have been a few changes to the system and perhaps patients should be informed of changes ahead of format. • Telephone appointments are not always good and it means often waiting longer for appointments sometimes for a number of days. • How about a couple of 'open surgeries' when patients could come along and be prepared to wait - this would save missed appointments. • The appointment system is not effective on two occasions I have not been called back by a Doctor.

30. Suggestions for the surgery • Difficulty in getting appointments in advance does make it difficult for patients who work, more late/early opening times would help. • Being able to get an appointment for the same day when you ring up and not having to wait until Doctor rings you. • I think we patients should have a little more time with the GP, every time I come in I feel rushed and that they are always in a hurry and most of the time I don’t have time to tell them everything that I want to. • I know it is difficult as there are a lot of people in need to see a GP. • General service very good - including booking in appointments and seeing Doctors/Nurses always very welcoming and helpful. • Stop phone calls to make appointments. • GP call-back is very frustrating especially if dealing with a child as it just delays getting seen by a GP. • Make children’s appointments easier to book! • Made to feel at ease, very polite on every visit. Excellent GP's.
