🌟 Friends & Family Feedback – August 🌟

Thank you to the 241 patients who took part in our Friends & Family survey this month.

✅ 97% of patients said they would recommend us to their family and friends.
We received lots of really positive feedback about our GPs, Nurses, and Patient Services Team – which we’ll be passing on to them. 👏

We also heard areas where we could do better:
• Quicker appointments with continuity of doctors
• Ensuring patients see the right clinician for their needs

Here’s our response:
"Thank you for your feedback. We’re working hard to improve appointment availability and continuity with doctors. We’ll also review how appointments are allocated, so patients see the most appropriate clinician."

💬 Some of your positive comments from August:
✨ “Absolutely nothing [to improve] – I always feel I get a wonderful service.”
✨ “The care I received yesterday was brilliant, the nurse explained everything and gave me a 100% check over.”
✨ “Can’t fault it. Thanks to the nurse I am now aware of my condition – a big thank you to her.”

Thank you for your feedback – it helps us improve our services and support patient choice!

UTIs are common, but recognising the symptoms early can help prevent complications. Look out for burning during urination, frequent urges to p*e, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and tummy or back pain. If symptoms persist, see a pharmacist or book with your GP. More info: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/urinary-tract-infections-utis/

Men, if you notice changes such as painful urination, lumps, itching, or bumps on the p***s, it’s often nothing serious — but it’s always best to check. Read about what to look out for and when to get advice: https://patient.info/news-and-features/p***s-problems-you-shouldnt-ignore

Stay informed, stay healthy.
