01/02/2024 | Today it was bloods, friendly, professional service. As a general comment unrelated to having bloods, it would be great if we were able to phone up as we used to and get a one to one with one of our doctors. However,I am not complaining, just saying. |
01/02/2024 | All is satisfactory |
01/02/2024 | if I could get an appointment with a male doctor without having to ring at 8.30 on days when there is a male doctor, that would be helpful. Other than that we are very happy with Orchid House and all its staff. Efficient, helpful and polite |

12/12/2023 | Perhaps you could speak to one another Idid not know why I was there and neither did the Surgery Another waste of time |
13/12/2023 | Everyone was lovely! Merry Christmas all X |
13/12/2023 | Bring back on line appointments for blood tests. The pandemic is finished. It?s ridiculous and unnecessary. The staffing costs and time spent listening to messages about Livy, being polite, and having no appointments etc are a waste of time |
13/12/2023 | I can’t think of anything which would improve it. Both Jane and her colleague (Sorry, her name escapes me – ?Samantha ) were excellent and very patient getting into my awkward veins! The Reeptionist was charming too. Thank you all. |

21/12/2023 | Nothing needs to change, it was first class. |
21/12/2023 | When medication is on repeat for a 6 month period it would be useful if you could advise the patient when the period was coming up for renewal. I had a problem when I ran out of medication without warning |

01/11/2023 | No change its fine , |
01/11/2023 | HCA was really nice however it did concern me that she didn?t wash her hands or use gloves before touching me/taking my blood. She also didn?t use any hand gel. Very concerning. |
01/11/2023 | Really don?t know I?m new here and your service is 100% better than my old surgery in Ringwood , keep up the good work |
01/11/2023 | It would be good to know if doctors or nurses are running more than 10 minutes late. |
01/11/2023 | I was perfectly happy with my visit and therefore have no reason to change anything |
01/11/2023 | Be seen at the time of the appointment, not 15 minutes later. The sign on the wall states that the surgery expects patients to be on-time! |
01/11/2023 | An annual reminder sent to me, for my next cholesterol test |

06/11/2023 | Nothing the Nurse was very professional and caring all I can say is thank you |
06/11/2023 | Nothing |
06/11/2023 | Reception, if unsure on an answer, please say so rather than guess answers.
I waited 35mins for an ECG app which the nurse didn?t realise she had an appointment, I had clocked in. Nurse couldn?t put the bed down so had to lie half off for my ECG. |
06/11/2023 | The care I received was perfect. |
06/11/2023 | No very good treatment |
06/11/2023 | I can think of nothing I would change. |
06/11/2023 | If it could be easier to see a doctor. |
07/11/2023 | Nothing |
07/11/2023 | It would have been good to have a letter to say that mum actually had a diabetic appt + a follow up a week later. We only knew sha had an appt because of a reminder text, luckily mum didn’t have any other commitments. The appt itself was very good. |
07/11/2023 | Don’t know of anything that would make a difference |
07/11/2023 | Make making an appointment to see the doctor easier |
07/11/2023 | Nothing |
07/11/2023 | As I am disabled it would be most appreciated if the two sets of entrances/ exit doors were automatic. The doors are somewhat heavy to push and pull although I can usually find some kind sole to open them for me, |
07/11/2023 | To be honest compared to other surgerys i have used in the past, i have to say how professional, helpful and well organised they are. Thank you… |
08/11/2023 | Nothing at all. Very helpful and friendly staff. I was well looked after. Thank you |
08/11/2023 | All good |
08/11/2023 | Better reception staff |
08/11/2023 | Lack of nursing personnel. More qualified nurses needed. Staff from reception to doctors second to none. Very approachable and extremely helpful. |
08/11/2023 | N/a |
09/11/2023 | Nothing. Blood test booked for 0830, seen on time, staff were friendly and officiant. |

09/11/2023 | No improvement necessary |
09/11/2023 | I don’t have the need for a lot of appointments, but I wish it was easier to book one. |
09/11/2023 | No quite satisfied today. My Nurse was very pleasant and professional. Trying to get an appointment at 8.30 am remains quite stressful though. There must be a better way of doing it! |
09/11/2023 | All good thank you |
09/11/2023 | Nothing to change |
10/11/2023 | Perfect as is. No improvement required |

10/11/2023 | I was pleased with my response when contacting the doctor. I made an appointment for my bloods to be taken and had them taken today. My treatment to date has been good and wouldn?t change anything. |
10/11/2023 | Do not change anything! My visit was first rate. |
17/11/2023 | Todays blood test was superb, and carried out in the most professional, relaxing manner, exceptional. |
17/11/2023 | Nothing |
17/11/2023 | I wouldn?t change anything ? |
17/11/2023 | For a jab there was nothing more you could do, I was very satisfied. Please thank the nurse that attended to me. |
20/11/2023 | Blood appointment booked but told by nurse I didn’t need one. “Wasting my time” Second thing, Waited 5mins outside for Surgery to open then when inside sign in unit not working, had to wait for Receptionist thus making in 5mins late for appointment. |
20/11/2023 | Be open for an 8:30 appointment, not running 10 min behind at the beginning of the day. My appointment could easily have been a telephone consultation rather than having to physically attend. |
20/11/2023 | None |
20/11/2023 | Nothing thanks |
20/11/2023 | Don’t need to change anything very satisfied nice and friendly staff |
20/11/2023 | Appointment when requested rather than having to wait |

22/11/2023 | Nothing at all. It was perfect |
22/11/2023 | I was advised I was seeing a trainee GP. It was not the case, it was an Physician associate. I had declined an appointment for the Tuesday as I wanted to see a GP. The receptionist should of told me correctly,it wasn’t a GP or trainee. |

24/11/2023 | Nothing |
27/11/2023 | None needed. The nurse was patient and kind and put me at ease. Thank you. |
27/11/2023 | Screen in waiting area to notify you of how long your appointment is overdue. Difficult to know how long you are waiting for. For me personally this helps as I work full time so managing any delays to appointments would be helpful. |
27/11/2023 | Nothing |
27/11/2023 | Very satisfied thank you. |
27/11/2023 | Make it easier to get appointment |

28/11/2023 | Nothing I was happy with my appointment |
28/11/2023 | Nothing I was happy with my appointment |
28/11/2023 | Maybe some piped music in the waiting room so people?s conversations remain more private |
28/11/2023 | That they listened to patients,took me 3 weeks ringing practical every 2 day telling that my sugar levels was 33+,in fact was 47 when I arrived at the hospital?. |
29/11/2023 | Nothing – I have always been treated with the utmost care in all of my experiences. |
29/11/2023 | Nothing,always a very good service |
29/11/2023 | All fine. |
29/11/2023 | It?s frustrating when an early appointment is already 10 minutes behind and I have to get to work |
29/11/2023 | Do something with the waiting room it?s so depressing. |
30/11/2023 | Nothing needs to change. My experience this morning was excellent. |

03/10/2023 | More Doctors |
03/10/2023 | Nothing … very professional and friendly staff, as always. |
03/10/2023 | Make it easier to get information about your conditions when needed and see a doctor more quickly |
04/10/2023 | N/A – it was a perfect experience |
04/10/2023 | This message was sent, the phone consultation was managed by staff at Fairlawn Care home, my father is 98 virtually deaf and blind, so I think a phone consultation was inappropriate. |
04/10/2023 | All good thank you |
04/10/2023 | Impossible to better |

09/10/2023 | The Nurse I saw was very pleasant and offered me a flu jab along with taking my blood pressure, however Orchid House I thought is a very sad surgery so tired looking without any atmosphere at all, luckily I wasn?t in the surgery for too long. |
09/10/2023 | Nothing comes to mind |

16/10/2023 | No improvement necessary |
16/10/2023 | The area where I had bloods taken smells really bad for some reason. It was very off putting. |

16/10/2023 | Bring the blood pressure machine back into patience use, if possible? |
16/10/2023 | No change. |

18/10/2023 | To be on time, but the nurse did apologize straight away, which I did appreciate. |
18/10/2023 | None |
18/10/2023 | Longer appointment |
18/10/2023 | Get a face to face within 2 weeks. And NOT to have 4 weeks for a blood test asked for by the hospital |
19/10/2023 | N/A |
19/10/2023 | no need to change |
19/10/2023 | V minor but maybe reviewing signage would help, to make it clear that if seeing nurse for blood tests etc you need to wait in the ?treatment room? area. |
19/10/2023 | I am very happy with the entire support I receive from Orchid House |
20/10/2023 | Contacted me very quickly after ringing for advice |

23/10/2023 | I had a diabetic review today but it was totally different from other reviews. I just had a blood test and a urinalysis sample. Usually I have blood pressure weight, hight and feet test. I am not sure if this is right. |
23/10/2023 | Nothing |
23/10/2023 | All as expected if not better |
23/10/2023 | Very happy with service |
23/10/2023 | Everything was perfect |
23/10/2023 | Nothing everything was very good, staff were very nice |
23/10/2023 | As the previous patient left and it was another 20 mins at least after my appointment time before I was seen with no one else waiting, it was not good. Also the nurse said I have to book 3 weeks before but you can’t. |
24/10/2023 | Nothing |
24/10/2023 | No comments. Appointment was on time |
24/10/2023 | None |

24/10/2023 | I am always extremely happy with the care that I receive from James Abel – Diabetic Nurse Specialist. I could not praise him higher for constantly doing a fantastic job & helping me. |
24/10/2023 | Nothing, as always good care and support given |
24/10/2023 | Try to streamline the process of getting an x-ray as the doctor requested it and for some reason it was cancelled. If you went back to the original procedure by instructing the x-ray department the system would be improved. Call me for more info. |
24/10/2023 | Excellent service -continues to get better every year I have been fortunate enough to be there for 23 years |
25/10/2023 | All very good |
25/10/2023 | Maybe a few more questions |
26/10/2023 | Very good |
26/10/2023 | Get an appointment to have my stitches out next Monday |
26/10/2023 | I attended today to have a blood test and return a urine sample. I had no idea what I was doing and had not put a time on my sample, why not do a you tube video and send the link when giving a sample. |
26/10/2023 | No change, you are all providing a great service. |
26/10/2023 | Nothing |
26/10/2023 | Nothing |
26/10/2023 | Maybe magazines. |
27/10/2023 | To be able to book an appointment over the telephone and not to be told to ring back the next day. This should not still be happening the changes through Direct Enhanced Service. The management of booking appointments needs to be addressedv |

08/09/2023 | No change |
08/09/2023 | Nothing |
08/09/2023 | Why did I get questioned that I don’t need a PSI test every year surely that’s my choice, I’m 66 I’m trying to look after myself and I thought it’s my right to ask for this test every year after all its a silent killer and I want to be in good health |
08/09/2023 | For the reception staff to have more time to help resolve relatively simple issues which shouldn?t need several calls. |
09/09/2023 | Just can’t get anything sorted out for patients |
11/09/2023 | To actually speak to a Doctor about the blood tests Ive had recently |
11/09/2023 | Sort the parking out non blue badge holder taking up spaces. |
11/09/2023 | I was happy with my experience |

12/09/2023 | All good on this occasion. |
12/09/2023 | Nothing everything was good and it was a great experience. Thank you. X |
12/09/2023 | Good surgery. staff are very friendly however. Appointment booking procedure..? I find it difficult to call at 8:30 am. Emails are rarely responded to. E-consult (for booking) pointless as it seems to end up with contact surgery anyway. |
13/09/2023 | Nothing |
13/09/2023 | Everything was just gone.Nurse was very good. THSNK YOU. |
13/09/2023 | No |

13/09/2023 | Nothing. Great service and staff |
13/09/2023 | If you could clone Sharon, who did my bloods for me yesterday, that would be great. My veins are rubbish now from lots of blood tests and she got it first time, it didn?t hurt and I haven?t got a huge bruise this morning, thank you Sharon:) |
13/09/2023 | I am satisfied with the way the surgery is run. |
13/09/2023 | no change required |
14/09/2023 | I arrived a few minutes late due to road closure, and couldn’t be seen. If they expect us to be patient when we often have to wait 30 minutes, then they could have been more cooperative when I was 10 minutes late due to road works. |
14/09/2023 | Nothing – Orchid House is great! |
14/09/2023 | All good |
14/09/2023 | No change Visit was managed to an excellent level Professional and courtesy from start to finish |

14/09/2023 | I cannot think of anything as your receptionist was very helpful with a new query. Sandy gave me excellent comprehensive care. Thank you |
15/09/2023 | Improve communication |
15/09/2023 | Nothing. Service provided was timely and nurse was very personable |
15/09/2023 | Let the staff know that I do my BP readings at home as I have white coat syndrome. This would free up another appointment for someone else. I have taken a form home to complete this and will return it when completed |
15/09/2023 | I?m not really qualified to change or improve my treatment, it was satisfactory what was done was what was required. Thankyou. |
15/09/2023 | None for this blood test |
15/09/2023 | Continuity if seeing one doctor |
18/09/2023 | Nothing. |

19/09/2023 | Listen to patient. |
19/09/2023 | No changes necessary pleased with care provided |
19/09/2023 | Queues at reception. Digital login needs more flexibility if running a tiny bit late. |
20/09/2023 | Lack of care and compassion from nurse. Unfortunately I was 8 minutes late for my appointment .She refused to see me there was no one else waiting. She could have just done the blood test and reschedule the ECG but refused both. |
20/09/2023 | Nil to be change. All perfect with everything. Very professional and pleasant staffs. |

22/09/2023 | Great Surgery. Deserve their QUAFF |
22/09/2023 | The surgery made an appointment for me for a blood pressure check up. I was asked to take my blood pressure for the preceding week. When I attended my appointment I simply had a blood test and no other check. |
22/09/2023 | No changes required. |
22/09/2023 | I would have liked to arrange an appointment whilst visiting the Practice for a blood test but I didn?t want everyone to hear why I wanted an appointment. Unfortunately there is no privacy at the receptionist desk (who by the way are excellent). |
22/09/2023 | easier way to get appointment |
22/09/2023 | Nothing |
22/09/2023 | The appointment went like clockwork – excellent. |

25/09/2023 | Make it easier to see a Dr. |
25/09/2023 | Go back to being able to make an appointment either by phone or online. The current arrangement of being able only ti try for an appointment on the day is extremely inconvenient |
26/09/2023 | Nothing. Excellent service |
26/09/2023 | Very good as it is staff always very polite helpfull and friendly. |
26/09/2023 | Let us know if there is a delay, where possible. Waited over 10 mins after appointment slot time before being seen. |
26/09/2023 | Just an observation on the waiting room, it is very bare, cold looking, no toys, could do with a warmer approach, maybe a book table? Care was very good |
26/09/2023 | Able to book appointments on line. |
26/09/2023 | To stock Jelonet dressings for people like me allergic to other sorts ! |
27/09/2023 | Change nothing i am more than satisfied with service i receive |

27/09/2023 | After 8 months, I am having to restart my treatment as originally I was given an untried method for treating an ulcer. This was slowly improving things but it still has a long way to go. I am now on the normal ulcer treatment plan as of this week. |

28/09/2023 | Allow me to book my 12 week prostate cancer jab which I have every 12 weeks on a repeating basis rather than having to involve us both in a time wasting merry go round It has to be done every 12 weeks so why can?t we recognise the fact ! |

AUGUST – 2023
01/08/2023 | I understand where I am with my medical condition but it is always good to have someone oversee my tests and results and confirm that everything is as good as it can be. |
01/08/2023 | To get in to see the Doctor sooner than arranged at Reception. |
01/08/2023 | Nothing, I was very satisfied |
01/08/2023 | On a personal note, having to pay for transport back and forth for local appointments. I wonder if for the review would it be possible for a phone appointment instead.. But over all happy with the support and professionalism from the surgery/staff. |
01/08/2023 | Not sending booking with followup appointment. To advise 2nd appointment only if results deem necessary. |

11/08/2023 | If you are only going to offer telephone appointments in the first instance, please make sure that they can take place within a couple of days. |
11/08/2023 | Make it easier to say doctor |
11/08/2023 | I can’t think of anything that could improve my experience, my appointment was on time, Josaphine was friendly and professional, put me at ease and took my bloods quickly and easily and constantly chatting to make sure I knew what was happening. |
11/08/2023 | Alter the system so you can book the next appointment before you leave |
11/08/2023 | It does seem to be taking longer than before to heal. |
11/08/2023 | Being on time? knowing about the appointment before going into it. So that I don?t have to answer pointless questions and waste time ? |
14/08/2023 | Nothing with the nurse I saw today, she was very helpful, checked on the system and advised us that we already had the shingles jab back in February 2023, and that we didn?t need it. Very good very observant. |
14/08/2023 | Personally I wouldn’t change anything. |
14/08/2023 | Nothing, as the team are always most helpful, efficient and caring . Great service |
14/08/2023 | Overall it was fine with the nurse friendly and helpful. Do not think anything could.be done to improve my experience. |

18/08/2023 | I?m very happy with how things are at present |
18/08/2023 | Be on time! |
18/08/2023 | Still the same complaint. Reinstate online appointments for routine blood tes such as INR. Also repeat nurse appointments. Such a waste of patient time and expensive staff who could be doing something useful. |

22/08/2023 | Satisfied |
22/08/2023 | Nothing. I was seen early and the nurse is a lovely professional |
23/08/2023 | Today was excellent even though they were experiencing computer issues! But was all under control and dealt with in a professional manner by the team! Sometimes it?s not quite like that when messages and communication are not always clear. |

30/08/2023 | More evening appointments as work till 5.30, lose money if have to leave work early, not good to do that |
31/08/2023 | Blood test should be brought back in the surgery for patients with cancer and heart conditions instead of going to Poole or Bournemouth hospital. |
31/08/2023 | Nothing everything was fine thank you |
31/08/2023 | Nothing |

04/07/2023 | The service I receive from all the doctors, nurses, and reception staff is always outstanding. |
04/07/2023 | Claire and Jane are both excellent nurses.
Better online facilities (booking, prescriptions, etc) would be good. |
05/07/2023 | Can’t think of anything that could improve it. |
05/07/2023 | Probably be getting in on time ,not that I?m moaning |
05/07/2023 | Whilst I?m happy to assist for training purposes, 3 painful attempts to obtain a smear sample was unacceptable. I have never experienced this in previous appointments nor have I ever bled before. |
05/07/2023 | Nothing |

10/07/2023 | Excellent service |
10/07/2023 | Fed up with saying the same thing. Reinstate on line appointments for blood tests and nurse appointments. Pandemic is over. Save costs of receptionists and frustrating phone calls and hanging on hold in a totally unnecessary queue |
10/07/2023 | Not have to wait so long for an appointment. |
10/07/2023 | I have no complaints at all 1. I logged in on the computer and avoided the queue at reception 2. The phlebotomist called me in less than 5 minutes and I was out within another approximately 5 minutes! Prompt and efficient, excellent service. |

13/07/2023 | More help on what to expect from the appointment |

27/07/2023 | I?ve always had excellent service when I?ve attended the surgery. From the receptionists (who are always friendly and helpful), the nurses in the treatment room (who are efficient and friendly) and lastly the doctors who – luckily – I rarely see. |
27/07/2023 | A nice cup of tea and a bun |
28/07/2023 | very poor |

02/06/2023 | No changes everything was fine and helpful |
02/06/2023 | The service is first class helpful efficient caring staff |
02/06/2023 | Nurse was running late but apology was given, it happens, so not an issue. |
02/06/2023 | maybe, by going back to the old procedure of booking a personal appointment with a GP at any time instead of the phone one first? |

09/06/2023 | No need to change anything |
09/06/2023 | Faster blood tests. |
09/06/2023 | The nurse was wonderful but booking my review with her two weeks before the blood test that this appointment was set to discuss made it a waste of time for both of us
