| 06/01/2026 | I struggle with some aspects of the way the surgery works. Making appointments is difficult although I haven?t yet used the on line system which may make life easier, I wait to see with that one. Repeat prescriptions can be a real nightmare. |
| 07/01/2026 | Nothing to change ….on time very efficient and a lovely nurse…wellldone |
| 07/01/2026 | The standard of care at this surgery is excellent. I can’t think of anything at the moment. Thank you so much. |
| 07/01/2026 | Due to the fact that the bus was late and I was 2 minutes late for my appointment I was not allowed in. I can understand if I was 10 minutes late but 2 minutes no. Needless to say I’m not happy. |
| 07/01/2026 | Send mobile text message appointment reminders and stuff like this instead of having to log into the NHS website. Could miss the message if can’t log in at the time. |
| 07/01/2026 | Things are not easy at the moment waiting for possible life changing blood results so to have such nice safe is wonderful. Thank you |

| 08/01/2026 | To be able to see a doctor face to face. |
| 08/01/2026 | I made an appointment for an ABPI,knowing that is done by a nurse,but the appointment was made to see a Dr?!!!!in a horrible weather,having difficulty to walk. I was not happy,and coming back again in the night with still very bad weather. |

| 12/01/2026 | In the difficult times we are experiencing, it must be very difficult to operate a service that is 100per cent satisfactory to all patients, but you come very close to it, well done. |
| 12/01/2026 | Can?t think of any improvement on yesterdays visit |
| 12/01/2026 | Main issue is being able to get an appointment in person if you need one |

| 14/01/2026 | Overall a good experience and the nurse was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The only thing that could be improved was the cholesterol machine which took several attempts to get a reading. Not the users fault ? |

| 15/01/2026 | Nothing. the reception to the nurses were fantastic as always |

| 15/01/2026 | To be able to access health guidance via email through the surgery to avoid having to attend the surgery or take up a GP telephone or in person appointment. |
| 16/01/2026 | Nothing to change, I was barely waiting a few minutes. Nurse was friendly, took my blood carefully and painlessly and off I went. Very smooth appointment. |

| 22/01/2026 | Nothing was excellent. |
| 22/01/2026 | All fine |
| 22/01/2026 | Make it easier to speak or even leave a message for my GP. Receptionists seem unwilling to take messages. |
| 22/01/2026 | For today?s appointment everything was good. |
| 22/01/2026 | Everything was good |
| 22/01/2026 | Try to see patients at the appointment time. |
| 22/01/2026 | None that I can think of at the moment. |
| 22/01/2026 | Would not change my care or treatment very satisfied with the service |
| 22/01/2026 | None needed |
| 22/01/2026 | Accessing a doctor . Not easy . Either phone or walk up to the surgery before it opens . Would be easier if one could book an appointment in advance. Can only book on the day . |
| 22/01/2026 | There is nothing I would need to change. Thank you |
| 22/01/2026 | Appointment was good. Josie great although she wasn’t aware a needed BP as well as bloods. Fitted it in ok. Important for me as high cholesterol in family. |
| 22/01/2026 | Nothing |
| 22/01/2026 | I would like to book non urgent appointments inadavance, say 5 days |

| 23/01/2026 | Honestly the appointment was seamless, a really professional blood draw. Thank you |
| 23/01/2026 | Appointment time was late but head to head was very good |
| 23/01/2026 | Nothing |
| 26/01/2026 | Nothing excellent service. |
| 26/01/2026 | The ability to book online for nurse appointments like cervical screenings would be handy, so patients can immediately see which slots are available to fit around their cycle. |
| 26/01/2026 | Nothing had a brilliant vist the nurse was so lovely thank you so much |
| 26/01/2026 | Nothing good and prompt thanks but getting an appointment if one needs to see a gp isn?t |
| 26/01/2026 | Very efficient treatment |
| 26/01/2026 | Everything was perfect |
| 26/01/2026 | Apart from appointment being slightly late, which is normally out of your control, nothing. Jess was friendly and put me at ease, procedure went quickly with no issues, advised me of any issues that might happen and when and how to get results. |
| 26/01/2026 | Absolutely nothing |
| 27/01/2026 | Everything was good |

| 27/01/2026 | Cannot think of anything to improve the surgery. Very happy with the service. Thank you |
| 27/01/2026 | I was given the wrong sample pot by the receptionist but this was sorted later when I saw the nurse the same morning for bloods. Both nurse and GP were friendly and thorough. |
| 27/01/2026 | I have no problem with your service |
| 27/01/2026 | Nothing |
| 27/01/2026 | This was the first time that this type of general health check appointment had been offered to me, so I didn?t know what to expect. The clinician was very friendly, clear and concise throughout the process. |
| 27/01/2026 | My Dr has my best interests at heart regarding my on going health issues and I would have no other Dr on my side |
| 27/01/2026 | Probably quicker follow-up with doctor. Maybe prebook time slots for potential follow-up and freeing these when not required back into 8:30 daily appointments. Would provide a better patient experience. |
| 28/01/2026 | Reception was rather unwelcoming. |
| 28/01/2026 | Everything was perfect. Than you |
| 28/01/2026 | Excellent on time |
| 28/01/2026 | I’m very happy with the treatment I received |
| 28/01/2026 | Nothing. You do what you do well. |
| 28/01/2026 | It was excellent. No changes needed. |
| 28/01/2026 | Worst experience in 25 years. Really painful time trying to take blood. Eventually nurse gave up,said I might be bruised for a week os so, then tried again in other arm. Never been a problem before |

| 03/12/2025 | All perfectly good ? |
| 03/12/2025 | More available appointments for Mondays… I’m nit picking though as the service is always excellent and the staff very helpful. Thanks for all that you do. |
| 03/12/2025 | Yesterday perfect, but previous time I asked for woman doctor, was met by v young man shadowed by woman, and was unable to discuss what was important – men?s anatomy is not the same, their experience is quite different, I know, I?ve tried before |
| 03/12/2025 | Your service over 40 years is excellent |
| 03/12/2025 | Appointment was a little late |
| 03/12/2025 | I was extremely happy with the service I received from you and have absolutely no complaints. |
| 04/12/2025 | As always I was treated efficiently and with kindness. Many thanks. |
| 04/12/2025 | There wasn?t any thing the nurse could do she was great |
| 04/12/2025 | Make sure the appointment is necessary. The blood test had already been done |
| 04/12/2025 | Make the waiting room smell nicer. |
| 05/12/2025 | It was all fine and I was very happy with it all |
| 05/12/2025 | Very happy with service |
| 08/12/2025 | Nothing springs to mind. |
| 08/12/2025 | Protective plaster was taken off which covered hand wound and stitches removed leaving the area around the wound, sticky. I expected wound to be wiped clean before leaving surgery but told “you can now wash your hands “. This I did at home |
| 08/12/2025 | Nothing! My care and treatment is brilliant! |
| 08/12/2025 | Nothing required |
| 09/12/2025 | My care was exemplary |
| 09/12/2025 | I have a possible ulcer forming on my leg after walking into a dishwasher. The nurse was very thorough reassured me that it hasn?t broken and told me to phone again on Thursday. Should it start to erupt? Has also organised more dressings .for my leg |
| 10/12/2025 | Excellent service. |
| 10/12/2025 | Very friendly nurse who see me |
| 11/12/2025 | Nothing. |
| 11/12/2025 | I can?t think of anything you could do to improve my experience. 10 out of 10 very good. Thank you |
| 11/12/2025 | Nothing it was spot on could not impact on anything |
| 11/12/2025 | No problems at all with consultation. |
| 12/12/2025 | I love having the same person taking blood and BP. I know what to expect and always lovely to see a friend you know. Brilliant surgery and so active in people’s health. Thank you. |
| 12/12/2025 | No changes necessary |
| 12/12/2025 | Put a bp self checking machine like th one in Penny’s surgery |
| 12/12/2025 | Nothing |
| 12/12/2025 | All perfect |
| 15/12/2025 | Patients waiting unnecessarily whilst staff were having a chat and laugh. Delaying my appointment by 10 mins and keeping others waiting, then staff appeared saying ‘sorry to keep you waiting’ in a less than sincere manner. Everything else was good. |
| 15/12/2025 | Make it easier to contact gp |
| 15/12/2025 | The practice is always amazing! |
| 15/12/2025 | very lovely doctors, take the time to chat and be in interest of you your worries and concerns. Best surgery I?ve had, couldn?t fault it. |
| 15/12/2025 | N/a |
| 16/12/2025 | Excellent service by Sandie. |
| 16/12/2025 | I had a review on my Diabetes with a diabetic practitioner. He was excellent at going through all my results from my previous appointment, urine and blood test. Very clear and understanding. Didn’t feel there was any improving needed. Thank you |
| 16/12/2025 | All staff are great Merry Christmas to you all ????? |
| 17/12/2025 | Absolutely nothing,the surgery is 1st class in my opinion. |
| 17/12/2025 | Very happy |
| 18/12/2025 | I think the service & care provided is outstanding & im the envy of my friends to have this available on my doorstep Many have now opted for private GPs to see someone within a few weeks |
| 18/12/2025 | No change needed. I was called to my appointment quite soon after my arrival. The nurse was informative, kind, friendly and more importantly, gentle when changing the bandage. |
| 18/12/2025 | Nothing every thing was perfect |
| 18/12/2025 | Could not Improve on today?s treatment, it was first class?. |
| 18/12/2025 | No changes required. |
| 18/12/2025 | Friendly receptionist, professional nurse so excellent experience and nothing to add. Many thanks |
| 19/12/2025 | Communication between staff could be better, I was asked by doctor to book blood test , I tried but receptionist said nothing on system so couldn’t book. I recently saw nurse at surgery and was asked why I hadn’t had booked requested blood test yet. |
| 19/12/2025 | Send reminder one hour before appointment !! |
| 19/12/2025 | Be on time for appointment! We’re told if we’re late we have to rebook- but every time, my morning nurse appointment runs late by about 10 mins and never an apology. |
| 19/12/2025 | Try and be on time or apologise when late. |
| 19/12/2025 | I cannot fault my experience at the surgery |
| 19/12/2025 | No Changes, Thank You. Excellent Service !! |
| 19/12/2025 | Keep going as it is |
| 22/12/2025 | More staff pls. The staff you have are amazing. Thank you |
| 22/12/2025 | Nothing excellent quick service |
| 23/12/2025 | Staff are always good and attentive. Same as always. Reinstate on line appointments for blood test and INR. It would save us both wasted time on the phone. You?ll ignore this once again! |
| 23/12/2025 | Nothing really,I had a great experience |
| 23/12/2025 | It would be ideal to book appointments online (use to be able too before Covid) I am a shift worker and out the country 4-5 days per week with my job so find it difficult to get appointments and make appointments sitting on the phone to get through. |
| 23/12/2025 | Not a lot to be honest. Was a pleasant interaction. |
| 24/12/2025 | No . I have no reason to change anything at the surgery. They are willing to help and do the extra mile!!! |
| 29/12/2025 | My family & I, all think you do a marvellous job. We hear so much negativity regarding the NHS but we can only be grateful & thankful for all your care. |
| 29/12/2025 | Nothing |
| 29/12/2025 | Cannot fault anyone at the Surgery, always very polite and helpful |
| 29/12/2025 | I am a member of the PPG |
| 29/12/2025 | Nil |
| 29/12/2025 | I was completely satisfied and have no suggestions |
| 30/12/2025 | Get the checking in screen working |
| 30/12/2025 | No change all working fine at mo |
| 30/12/2025 | Nothing I was in and out for my blood test before my apt time. Quick and efficient and friendly nurse |
| 30/12/2025 | Good happy service |
| 30/12/2025 | A OK |
| 30/12/2025 | Excellent service, lovely nurse |
| 30/12/2025 | It was better than I expected so very happy. |
| 30/12/2025 | I have been with this Practice for 7 years now and would say that they are extremely good at fostering the Patient /Service relationship, and, in particular at organising the many group vaccination program demands today |
| 30/12/2025 | Nothing all good ! |
| 31/12/2025 | It?s Fine as it is |
| 31/12/2025 | It couldn?t get better ? |
| 31/12/2025 | Treatment and care excellent |
| 31/12/2025 | On time and went smoothly |
| 31/12/2025 | I don?t believe there is anything I would change, from my own experience I have always been happy with the care and attention given to me, this compared to other conversations with family and friends in different regions says a lot about Orchid House |
| 31/12/2025 | When I attend appointments allocate me a patient number to call out, rather than my name. |
| 31/12/2025 | Nothing |
| 31/12/2025 | Easier availability of appointments |
| 31/12/2025 | All good |
NOVEMBER 2025

| 03/11/2025 | Would prefer to see the same doctor |
| 03/11/2025 | Consistency in advice given so that people don?t waste time attending appointments that they don?t need
After being advised by one nurse that I needed a course of vaccinations, I took today off only to find I do not need the vaccinations |
| 04/11/2025 | Can’t think of anything to improve |
| 04/11/2025 | Be able to see my own Dr & not have to wait WEEKS to do so. |
| 05/11/2025 | No change required. |
| 06/11/2025 | Nothing to change |

| 07/11/2025 | There is nothing to improve. My treatment is perfect!! Thank you all so much. |
| 07/11/2025 | In brief, booked a blood test and BP check at the same time.
Bloods that needed to be checked, information was incomplete on system. BP was unable to be tested as apparently it wasn’t booked??. and she was running late so unable to take it. |
| 07/11/2025 | My appointment was good but the instructions on my prescription from Dr Balachandrin were different from what the nurse told me. ? |
| 10/11/2025 | Super |
| 10/11/2025 | Wouldn?t change a thing. I had first class treatment. |
| 10/11/2025 | Environment was clean. Reception staff brilliant. Nurses great and clear with procedures and future results. What more could I ask for from my surgery?
Always great. |
| 10/11/2025 | When seeing a GP it would be a great improvement if I could discuss more than one thing at a time. It would reduce the number of appointments I have to make. |
| 10/11/2025 | Nothing |
| 10/11/2025 | It was excellent service, allways is |
| 11/11/2025 | No suggestions |
| 11/11/2025 | I was seen on time. It was a very positive experience as everything was explained clearly in a very professional but friendly manner. I am so glad I booked into Orchid on moving house, thank you |
| 11/11/2025 | None |
| 11/11/2025 | The waiting area is odd and made me feel uncomfortable |
| 11/11/2025 | No BSL interpreter never turn up |
| 11/11/2025 | No changes come to mind. The vaccine injection was properly explained to me and fast and efficient, all good. |

| 21/11/2025 | There was and has been confusion over what blood test was needed
This lead to the wrong test being carried out.
Which I’m sure leads to time and money unnecessarily being spent. |

| 19/08/2025 | For the appointment to be run on time?it would not be acceptable for me to be 20mins late so how come it ok to be left waiting for 20mins beyond appointment time? It was early morning so do not understand how this can happen and made me late |
| 19/08/2025 | My experience was great. |
| 19/08/2025 | Can’t think of anything you can do to improve. Always excellent service and friendly and helpful staff. |

| 21/08/2025 | I can?t think of a thing which could be improved. I called at 8.30, got through after 7 minutes, had an appointment at 9.50. Dr Qureshi was very kind and thorough and I felt reassured after seeing him. I am really pleased with the service. |

| 26/08/2025 | Machines that ‘sometimes work or not’ ,according to health care provider,does not give you much confidence in the results of the test. Perhaps spending out on a new model that is working fully would be useful for user and recipient. |

| 15/07/2025 | Very positive |
| 15/07/2025 | I have no complains , only see kind and helpful the staff |
| 15/07/2025 | Quick time blood test excellent. I know doctors are tied for time for appointments, but if that is not possible, as it was the other week, a doctor was able to ring me which was very reassuring and appreciated. |
| 15/07/2025 | Make it easier to get an appointment. This thing where you have to phone between 8.30 and 9am is ludicrous, so please make it easier. I hardly ever come to see my Dr, but when I do, it?s so so difficult to get an appointment in reasonable time! |
| 15/07/2025 | Very happy with service |
| 15/07/2025 | All went fine. |

| 16/07/2025 | Receptionist, tone of voice. Some can be extremely helpful and kind and others can be so abrupt and rude.
A few occasion they have spoke to myself and husband in a bad way or just not giving the correct information. |
| 17/07/2025 | All good |
| 17/07/2025 | I was 2 minutes late so couldn?t be seen . My last appointment I sat for 45 minutes waiting ! Some discrepancies should be accepted ! |
| 17/07/2025 | I wouldn?t. I went straight in and the nurse I saw was lovely! |
| 17/07/2025 | Personally I can think of nothing because usually the service I receive is very good. |
| 17/07/2025 | Could not be bettered |
| 17/07/2025 | No |
| 17/07/2025 | Just extend advance booking time for blood tests from 4 to 6 weeks |

| 18/07/2025 | Nothing |
| 21/07/2025 | I am happy with the service I received |
| 21/07/2025 | Don’t bother trying to make an appointment by phone as when you finally get through there are no appointments left. Better to try to make an appointment face to face with the receptionist as I found out when I came for my blood test at 8.30am . |
| 21/07/2025 | The nurse i had was smashing very professional on time . No problem at all |
| 22/07/2025 | Nurses great,but could be better link between reception an doctors ,messages from doctors not getting back to patients |
| 22/07/2025 | Nothing I can think of it was great from start to finish |
| 22/07/2025 | I arrived early & checked in , was seen within 5 mins , very good service |
| 22/07/2025 | I have never had a bad experience. Everyone is so helpful and supportive. I really appreciate everything that you?ve done for me and my family. I can?t praise you all enough. Keep up the great work. ? |
| 22/07/2025 | No suggestions. Thanks |

| 25/07/2025 | Very pleased with the care & treatment |
| 25/07/2025 | Being able to call in the afternoon for an appointment as 8:30am is difficult with work commitments. |
| 25/07/2025 | No improvement needed with my app.today ,nurse were professional, competent and caring…would like the Dr s app.s to be more available and waiting times less. |
| 25/07/2025 | Probably actually seeing a doctor when requested |

| 25/07/2025 | Couldn’t fault appointment. |
| 28/07/2025 | Nothing. |
| 28/07/2025 | Nothing. The nurse was amazing and explained the whole process to me very thoroughly. She made me feel comfortable and was very good at her job! |
| 28/07/2025 | Very good and friendly |
| 28/07/2025 | If there was an excellent option I would of chosen it |
| 28/07/2025 | I really can?t think of anything to improve my experience at your surgery, especially comparing it to surgeries in other areas of the country |
| 28/07/2025 | Treatment was very good, Jess is an excellent nurse. Only problem is after total knee replacement it is difficult to sit on the low seating in the waiting area for the nursing staff. |
| 28/07/2025 | Excellent level of service and care from Orchid House Surgery as usual. |
| 28/07/2025 | Nothing the service is great doctors are lovely always seen to very quickly |
| 29/07/2025 | Perhaps explain why I needed the blood when the surgery called to make the appointment. |
| 29/07/2025 | Nothing all ok |
| 30/07/2025 | No change |
| 30/07/2025 | Could not improve today |

| 31/07/2025 | I had two appointments today. Both were carried out by efficient and friendly staff. No changes needed. |
| 31/07/2025 | I think playing low volume background music in the waiting room would enhance my wait |

| 06/06/2025 | I am happy with Orchid House Surgery. I am fortunate they allow me to have my regular blood tests there as I would have difficulty getting to the hospital. The staff are friendly and professional.My only gripe is the 8.30am call to try to get appt. |

| 06/06/2025 | Never have any problem?s.The staff are very efficient! |

| 09/06/2025 | Nothing |
| 09/06/2025 | Nothing |
| 09/06/2025 | Nothing at the surgery but very hard to have to go thro 111 to get app at Wimborne hosp when you have no appointments for a week . |
| 09/06/2025 | No need to change anything excellent service. |
| 10/06/2025 | To be able to see the doctor more easily and to get feed back from blood tests |
| 10/06/2025 | Can not think of anything to improve the procedure |

| 10/06/2025 | Great |

| 11/06/2025 | It was excellent today |
| 11/06/2025 | Nothing |
| 11/06/2025 | The only poor experience I have always is the 8.30am attempt to get an appointment. At that time I am always in the car driving to work and mostly when my call is answered all appointments are taken, and I have to do the same again the following day. |
| 11/06/2025 | Can’t think of anything on this occasion |
| 12/06/2025 | I was very pleased with the service,and the doctors was on time |
| 12/06/2025 | Nothing to change due to help from my doctor,paramedic in Orchid House and finally the lovely nurse waiting to give me the dreaded needle and for the first time I didn’t faint after an injection ,which I never felt.Thank you all for your help. |

| 16/06/2025 | Nothing, the nurse was great. Thank you |
| 16/06/2025 | Always good, so just keep smiling and carry on. ? |
| 16/06/2025 | To have arranged the two appointments as one, as I was seen straight after the first appointment with no waiting. If this had been made as 1 appointment it may have opened up another space for someone else. |
| 16/06/2025 | Nothing needed to be changed, went in on time. Nurse very friendly & kind. |
| 16/06/2025 | Very good |
| 16/06/2025 | Give the nursing staff air conditioning! |

| 17/06/2025 | No changes needed. |
| 17/06/2025 | Asthma review. Was very thorough. Be interested to see how the change in the medication will affect me. has given me a follow-up date to discuss it. It was mentioned that perhaps a chest x-ray following my pulmonary embolism last August. |
| 17/06/2025 | The treatment I had today blood test and BP was booked 3/4 wks ago I just wish we could go to a hospital like we used to would be so much easier for everyone but in saying that the lady that I saw this morning was brilliant friendly and professional |
| 18/06/2025 | A better explanation of the blood test results |
| 18/06/2025 | Exceptional service and care |
| 18/06/2025 | Getting an appointment with my preferred clinician is getting more difficult and can take 2-3 weeks which is not ideal. Other than that I am very happy with the service provided. |

| 26/06/2025 | I cannot think of anything that I would wish to change at this time |
| 26/06/2025 | I, so far, have received very good care and treatment. The staff are extremely friendly and efficient. |
| 26/06/2025 | Not really |

| 03/04/2025 | Appointment perfect had only just sat down when I was called to have my hood test |
| 03/04/2025 | I was asked to attend to have my BP taken & a blood test. The nurse seemed unaware I was also having BP check & stated they?d only given her a 10 min appointment. Not sure why? Despite this she was very nice & did both. Blood test was painful tho |
| 03/04/2025 | It was all excellent. A calm atmosphere very professional and Kind nurse . Thank you. |
| 04/04/2025 | Always welcoming and courteous. The phlebotomist managed to quickly squeeze me in as I was quite early. |
| 04/04/2025 | Change not required. |
| 04/04/2025 | Refusing nursing services to a patient who has undergone major surgery and making them call 111 to get the required treatment shows no duty of care to the patient. It was wrong and should never have been allowed to happen. Utterly disgraceful. |
| 04/04/2025 | Would not change anythig! The whole procedure was excellent – polite and efficient receptionist and a very competent and knowledgeable nurse. Thank you Orchid House! |
| 04/04/2025 | Really happy with the care I?ve received at the surgery,special shoutout to Tracey, the nurse practitioner ? she?s brilliant! So kind, easy to talk to, and really knows her stuff. Always feel like I?m in good hands with her. Can?t thank her enough! |

| 04/04/2025 | I would not change anything. Excellent friendly service .Thank you . |
| 04/04/2025 | Instead of calling my name out loud in the surgery allocate me a number. My surname has caused me problems all my life and despite not being in a particular ethnic group I am am viewed as such by some people and this can be very difficult for me. |
| 07/04/2025 | Everything about my appointment was first class |
| 07/04/2025 | Seems very adequate |
| 08/04/2025 | No issues with my care |
| 08/04/2025 | Can’t think of anything that has to be changed.The Nurse that I usually have is so very good, explains everything that she is doing. I think her name is Sam but I’m not too sure. |
| 08/04/2025 | No change needed |
| 08/04/2025 | It was fine. Thanks. |

| 09/04/2025 | I would like a response after depositing a weeks worth of blood pressure results either hood or bad |

| 09/04/2025 | Nothing |
| 09/04/2025 | My appointment today (for a health check) was conducted in a friendly & professional manner. I am very happy with the service Orchid House provides overall, in these challenging times. Thank you. |
| 09/04/2025 | Nurse was great with her and was fast giving her the two jabs my only issue was the appointment was 25 minutes late and when you?ve got a 3 year old that?s a long time for them to wait knowing they?ve got to have an injection. |
| 09/04/2025 | Nada |
| 09/04/2025 | Nothing |
| 10/04/2025 | Always very friendly and kind |

| 10/04/2025 | When patients call to practice.maybe make a change to voice tone and message |
| 10/04/2025 | After an excellent consultation with Dr Gordon Turner, I was asked to return the next day for an ECG. Sandra Hadley was friendly and thorough and reassuring after the duty doctor’s review. I have booked a chest x-ray at Wimborne Hospital on 23/04/25. |
| 11/04/2025 | My latest appointment was for a blood test which was done by Josie exceptionally well as usual and with no bruising. With regard to Orchid House practice, my only concern is the anxiety caused by calling at 8.30am and told I am 21 in the queue. |
| 11/04/2025 | All good thanks |
| 11/04/2025 | Very efficient and seen early! |
| 11/04/2025 | Everything was excellent |

| 14/04/2025 | Nothing the nurse was great |
| 14/04/2025 | It would be good if the receptionist could give a shorter window at what time the doctor will be calling, am or pm . |

| 15/04/2025 | All good |
| 16/04/2025 | I would be interested in the patient participation group and will take a look at the link. I find the surgery very good. I am unaware if I can do this but being able to email short queries would be useful. Maybe a maximum of how many words or lines |
| 16/04/2025 | Nothing! |
| 16/04/2025 | Install electronic signs for hard of hearing ppl rather than the Gp/Nurse calling the patient |
| 16/04/2025 | Would not change a thing . Always very professional and efficient. As always thank you all . |
| 16/04/2025 | The appointment went very well. All my questions were answered thoughly. I was very pleased to have my check up and reassured by the results. Thank you. |
| 16/04/2025 | Why change something when it’s not broken? |
| 16/04/2025 | No all good thankyou |
| 16/04/2025 | My appointment was for 1.40pm I was not seen until 2pm. Ten mins delay is reasonable but 20 minis. If I was that late attending an appointment I wouldn?t be seen. |
| 16/04/2025 | The staff are always polite kind and extremely tolerant. Increase their pay because they are your investment. |
| 17/04/2025 | I arrived for a blood appointment to check my iron as you had called me to arrange and the staff had no information about it other than that they knew it was arranged by you. I waited 15 minutes later than arranged and then had to just go home again. |
