03/02/2025 SAM THE NURSE WHO DID MY VACCINATION WAS EXCELLENT.
03/02/2025 Nothing
03/02/2025 First class service today booking appointments should be possible any time, not just in the morning. It is not always possible to phone a. m. Surely not that hard to look at the diary and plan ahead. Constructive criticism not a complaint.

03/02/2025 None
04/02/2025 Nothing, very happy with service.
04/02/2025 All was exceptional service.  A pleasure to attend for blood test thank you

02/01/2025 Seems OK  by me.
02/01/2025 Everything fine
02/01/2025 I can?t fault the care I have been given it is always good. My only concern which gives me real anxiety is never knowing if I will be able to get an appointment although I call on the dot of 8.30am but am still always at least the 11th person in line
02/01/2025 Nothing
02/01/2025 Nurse very good and caring
03/01/2025 All good
03/01/2025 Continue the way you are doing,the treatment and care is excellent,
03/01/2025 Nothing

06/01/2025 Brilliant as normal thank you
06/01/2025 I would welcome an annual overall assessment of my health tailored to me i.e. not the standard health check offered by BUPA and some private hospitals.
07/01/2025 Nothing as it’s so good.
07/01/2025 Nothing, it was fine.
07/01/2025 No change required, the nurse giving the vaccination answered all queries fully, I didn’t feel that there was any need to hurry things through.  All in all a very positive experience.  Thankyou

08/01/2025 Care was great.
08/01/2025 There for well being clinic, but only learnt on attending that I wasn’t eligible. However blood pressure check showed it was higher than ideal
08/01/2025 None at the moment.
08/01/2025 The lady I saw was friendly and never made you feel rushed
08/01/2025 Why is it necessary to give eight weeks notice for a holiday vaccination but a follow up booster you only need a month?s notice.  A vaccination is not a luxury, it saves the NHS money if it prevents you getting an illness while abroad.
09/01/2025 The service was excellent,  no change needed

21/01/2025 No changes required
21/01/2025 RSV injection on time and very efficiently done.  No pain at all.
22/01/2025 I think where possible, couples should be factored in to have their inoculations at the same time together, rather than one of them on a Tuesday and the other on a Wednesday.

22/01/2025 Works for me
22/01/2025 I appreciate that the practice is busy, but I had to wait 50 minutes past my appointment time to be seen due to a family who took an extra patient in her appointment time. I note that signs say, if you are late, you will not be seen, I arrived early!
22/01/2025 Not having to wait 25 minutes before my blood test was taken

24/01/2025 Having more availability for blood tests. But Josie was a great nurse!
24/01/2025 I don’t think much needs to change, I have always felt heard and always received everything I need. The only requests, would air conditioning, however that is personal to me and my hot flushes ?
24/01/2025 I believe that I am a member of Orchid House PPG
24/01/2025 It was very good but the room was very small and it was a little claustrophobic. Also rather dark. Great nurses though
24/01/2025 Know more details of what will be done next, ie After the ECG, don?t know if my medication strengths will be reviewed ?

30/01/2025 To be honest, I have no suggestions. I’m very happy with the service that Orchid House provides, it is by far the nicest, most friendly and proactive GP practice that I have ever belonged to, they really are so lovely.
30/01/2025 No complaints from me. Came in for my cervical screening. All done with care and in good time.
30/01/2025 My experience … always fine. All staff professional, courteous, kind and friendly … thanks.
30/01/2025 Ref my appt with Dr Yau on 13 Jan.  As always she was kind, patient, understanding and helpful. Orchid House is most fortunate to have her. Long may she reign 🙂 !!
30/01/2025 Nothing to change about this visit! Friendly, helpful and caring.
30/01/2025 Everything was first class
31/01/2025 I have no complaints about my recent visit to the Ochid House surgery and have no other comments to share.
31/01/2025 Thank you to the Nurse who was very reassuring, explaining about the vaccine and answering questions.
31/01/2025 The whole service today was great and nurse was fantastic.  Just had to wait a while for the appointment
31/01/2025 Yes
31/01/2025 After receding an email from Dorset Health I made an appointment for a smear. When I arrived for my appointment the nurse explained I wasn?t eligible so couldn?t do the test. Why did you allow me to book this  then wasting everyone?s time?
31/01/2025 Apart from running a few minutes behind schedule, My appointment went very smoothly. Please pass on my appreciation to the young lady who took my blood sample .
31/01/2025 No change needed appointment on time
31/01/2025 All fine
31/01/2025 Unfortunately the nurse that was to take my blood sample had three attempts and couldn’t manage it, consequently her colleague had to step in. I now have a very sore and black and blue arm. Not the usual treatment I must say I receive from the surger
31/01/2025 Appointment was good, urea took blood test with no problem and very friendly.
31/01/2025 It is difficult to enter the surgery. When using my mobility scooter I have to move forward inch by inch whilst trying to hold the door
31/01/2025 Timekeeping, I know practices can run late but I have never been seen on time, except for flu jabs.
31/01/2025 Nothing
31/01/2025 All good
31/01/2025 I honestly can?t think of anything.
31/01/2025 Service from arrival was excellent, seen before scheduled time, treatment given with due care. Reflects usual experience from Orchid House.
31/01/2025 Not much

11/12/2024 Being able to make a direct appointment with a doctor, just being diagnosed with a serious illness, i was told by the appointment desk, they couldn?t arrange an appointment with my gp for at least 3 days??
11/12/2024 I would love to be able to see a GP on the same day without queueing at 8.30am. Not ideal when people are feeling unwell.
12/12/2024 Would change nothing  Always amazing The nurse I saw today and Dr Ballachandra are fantastic. Thank you.
12/12/2024 Difficult to improve excellence
12/12/2024 My visit to Orchid surgery was a very pleasant experience. I can?t think of any way it could be improved.
12/12/2024 Communication between the professionals would have saved me time. I had two appointments with just a very short time between them. I asked if I could be seen earlier and told no! However when I had my second appointment I was advised that I could.
13/12/2024 All good thanks
13/12/2024 Victoria was very helpful and explained things well.

16/12/2024 I couldn?t fault the professional and efficient service I received, it was excellent!
16/12/2024 Everything was very good.
16/12/2024 Why  don’t they get InTouch with patients when they can have some jabs and not the patient asking for it
16/12/2024 I would like to know the result of tests  such as the home heart monitor I had for 3 days last month
17/12/2024 Very friendly nurse who called me slightly before time. The whole procedure was conducted with precision.
17/12/2024 I sat in the wrong space, maybe a bit more infor about which area to sit in would be good. Overall happy with my visit.
17/12/2024 I would not change anything thank you!

19/12/2024 You do what is needed, very well.
19/12/2024 A pleasant experience
19/12/2024 Nothing. Josie was amazing. She is a real credit to the surgery.
19/12/2024 I?ve been lucky with my practice Orchid House and have been a patient for nearly 40 yrs. I get appointment with the Dr, .perscriptions, and treatment room appointments too all seemingly with no hassle even though it?s so busy.

20/12/2024 I would not change a thing with the pressure you are under lately and you are coping very well!!!!????
20/12/2024 No suggestions
20/12/2024 Blood test was on same day, very acceptable. Would have been easier to have appointment when I  came to surgery, rather than having to come back later.  But, still glad it was done same day.

24/12/2024 Absolutely fantastic surgery
24/12/2024 Every thing is excellent
27/12/2024 Shorter telephone experience
27/12/2024 I like the fact when ringing we can have a phone consultation, Then if needed to see a doctor, my experience today when having a blood sample was very professional and well experiences very good?
27/12/2024 Do not charge for a blood pressure machine.  You have every patients name address telephone number if it?s not returned within the stipulated time, go and get it or inform the police.

04/11/2024 Would be good to be able to book ahead. Ie you need another check in 3 months….so go to book it….but you can’t and then two weeks away from the test due date you ring and you have to wait 4 weeks as no appointments. Hope this makes sense.

13/11/2024 All good

18/11/2024 All nurses extreamly helpful?,
Couldnt do more for me.
18/11/2024 My preference would be for face to face consultation rather than by telephone.
The nurse who conducted the interview was thorough and very professional.
18/11/2024 Always efficient . No problems  in Ferndown Area
18/11/2024 Everything you do at the surgery seems to run very smooth.
18/11/2024 Use a ticket electronic system so people will see they are booked in and an idea when they will be called if the surgery is running late.
Will prevent people going to reception to enquire about their status.
18/11/2024 Satisfied with current treatment and consultations.
Excellent overall service provided.
18/11/2024 I was very satisfied by everything
18/11/2024 The service from Orchid  House surgery cannot be faulted, thank you.
As we?re attempting to move house, it wouldn?t be appropriate to rejoin the PPG. Sorry.
18/11/2024 No complaints. Victoria was extremely helpful and very pleasant and explained the results of the tests.
18/11/2024 Everything went like clockwork

19/11/2024 Nothing it?s fine ,
19/11/2024 Always the friendliest and best support! Thank you!
20/11/2024 There is not anything I would change
20/11/2024 Perhaps a reminder to track my blood pressure for a few days before attending would be helpful.
20/11/2024 Very helpful
Recommend a site Freshwell for healthy recipes.
I’m to to check my blood pressure on my own machine.
Thank you
20/11/2024 The appointment today was very good and on time. A very nice lady took my blood however initially I was booked in for a blood test 11th Dec which is a far too long wait when you have pain  have to work and can’t get it done anywhere else.
20/11/2024 Nothing to change keep doing what you do
20/11/2024 Appointment to be on time
20/11/2024 My appointment was perfect.
Super efficient, caring and informative.
Don?t change a thing!
21/11/2024 Great help thanks
21/11/2024 No thank you
21/11/2024 Just to be able to have face to face appointments more
21/11/2024 I am unable to help orchid surgery at present because I do full time carer. However if there is a leaflet drop or promotion for equipment I can spare the odd hour . Very happy with orchid surgery. People and doctors like family.
21/11/2024 It was excellent service thank you.
21/11/2024 The asthma nurse was great. I found her really helpful. The only improvement would be to start on time. I waited over 20mins after my appointment time to be seen
21/11/2024 As I have a 3 monthly cancer jab why can?t the date for that appointment which I already have be booked automatically as a confirmed appointment now
That saves me and the receptionist time and of course money
21/11/2024 hand sanitisers had run out. I was going to tell staff but they were busy. That’s it though every thing else was very good.
21/11/2024 My experience was excellent, no need to change anything
22/11/2024 You are doing a great job your staff are  the best  well done
22/11/2024 Excellent care right through from the reception staff , nurse Practioner  and the nurse taking my blood .
22/11/2024 Nothing needs changing. Very happy indeed with Victoria who was excellent.
22/11/2024 Nothing the service was brilliant
22/11/2024 Length of wait time for the appointment
22/11/2024 I ONLY HAD A BLOOD TEST
AND IT WAS VERY PUNCTUAL AND THE NURSE WAS EXCELLENT.
22/11/2024 Everything was great
25/11/2024 Nothing, it was a good experience
25/11/2024 No change  very  good.
25/11/2024 No problems, all went according to plan
25/11/2024 Very long waiting times
25/11/2024 None
25/11/2024 All good
25/11/2024 Victoria took her time to clean and dress the wound, she is an asset to Orchid House Surgery
25/11/2024 Excellent service
25/11/2024  None
25/11/2024 There was a delay in getting the appointment as I was not told that I should make the appointment at reception.
25/11/2024 My prostate injection today,.
the nurse appeared to take
the needle out a little too early. Some of the contents dropped down my arm, a bit disconcerting. I hope by not receiving the total amount of liquid this will not be to my detriment.
26/11/2024 The doctor suggested I start taking Furosemide water tablets to help with my oedema problem. Can I request this via the app please?
26/11/2024 All very good thank you
26/11/2024 Couldn’t fault  it.
No I do not wish to join thr PPG
26/11/2024 Fantastic service can?t fault the
Orchid House Surgery
26/11/2024 The login screen was broken so had to queue to see reception.
Otherwise all good
26/11/2024 I?m happy with everything at the moment
27/11/2024 All very good. The nurse who gave me the vaccinations was very thorough and professional. She had a welcoming manner.
27/11/2024 The service is excellent,  notifications, appointment on time, nurse very friendly and capable.
27/11/2024 All good as it was.
27/11/2024 Being seen on time not 20 minutes late.
27/11/2024 The appointment went very well I arrived 5 minutes early and was called on time cannot see how to improve on that. Unless of course they come to my home and I wouldn?t wish that on them
27/11/2024 To ensure a patient’s privacy when in a state of undress. Leaving cubicle doors wide open for any person passing by to see in is not ideal. An innocent oversight,
but sadly I have found myself ‘exposed’ in such situations on several occasions.
27/11/2024 Shorter wait for standard appts but I know that?s a  target all GP practices struggle with because of resource constraints in the NHS.
27/11/2024 Happy with everything.
No thank you to joining PPG.
27/11/2024 I would change nothing. The appt was everything one would have hoped for. I don?t know what PPG is but I?m now too old to join anything. Thank you.
27/11/2024 Do compliment your receptionist. Very helpful, patient and pleasant.
27/11/2024 Don’t Try to put me on Statins if I don’t need them
27/11/2024 Dr Yaw was very thorough with my examination and explained my problem with patience. The first time in a long time I have felt that someone actually cared about their patient.
28/11/2024 Yes all good thank you
28/11/2024 I wouldn’t change a thing.
28/11/2024 Nothing.
The nurse I saw today was extremely good.
Thank you.
29/11/2024 Nothing, it works fine as it is
29/11/2024 I have no wish to join your PPG. Today’s visit was a pleasant experience. I found the Dr to be very thorough and understanding. I cannot think of any way that you can improve based on today’s visit.
29/11/2024 Brilliant as all ways
29/11/2024 Nice lady.
29/11/2024 For a quick blood sample things went perfectly. I just want to empathise with you whenever possible

07/10/2024 I waited  nearly half an hour to been seen for my Shingles top up vaccination. An apology given but no reason. Unable to answer question regarding future Covid vacination.
07/10/2024 Surgery nurse wasn?t very helpful. I asked if she could check my blood pressure as the machine outside wasn?t working and she said no, I had to make another appointment even though my sleeve was rolled up and the machine was in the room.
07/10/2024 I’d like to be able to raise an Econsult 24/7. I appreciate that reply times in evenings and weekends will be significantly longer so please don’t turn them off when you’re closed or busy.  I just want to log something and save a phonecall ?

08/10/2024 Whilst waiting for appointment make the waiting areas more cheerful. Play some music. At the moment very bland and depressing.

23/10/2024 Nothing
23/10/2024  Nothing Thank You.
23/10/2024 I was seated on the chair right next to the door going into the nurse area of the surgery, but there is an obstruction on the wall (I think a hand sanitiser dispenser) that prevents you from sitting back against the wall.  Just a minor thing.
23/10/2024 Nothing you guys are amazing
23/10/2024 No change
24/10/2024 No. Based on my own experiences I am very happy with the service provided by Orchid House.

18/09/2024 If the GP had spent more than 2 mins to understand the extent of my symptoms, perhaps I would have avoided a 3 day hospital visit! His diagnosis was correct but his prescription mean that within 24 hours I was in hospital on morphine!

20/09/2024 Always an excellent service. But there is a real lack of patient privacy when talking to the receptionist at the front desk.
20/09/2024 I think the care I?ve recently received was excellent.
20/09/2024 I was 2 minutes late to my appointment and so could not log in on the PC.
I waited 5 minutes to speak to the receptionist while she dealt with 2 patients.
I was I told that I was now 8 minutes late and the appointment could not go ahead. Very poor!
23/09/2024 I’m happy, thank you.
23/09/2024 All went well and very professional.
24/09/2024 Since joining your practice i have found all members of your staff extremely helpful, knowledgable, very polite, well organised and extremely professional.  Honestly at present i would find it difficult in trying to suggest any improvenents..

AUGUST – 2024

Capture

 

01/08/2024 I waited over 22 minutes before having a smear which, by the time I had my appointment was really upsetting. The smear  was really uncomfortable and I bled afterwards which has never happened before. I felt like the nurse hadn’t done this before.
01/08/2024 Nothing
01/08/2024 Nothing, no need to change anything.

16/08/2024 Nurses were both amazing cannot fault how they treated me at all.
Waiting room in surgery could do with  TV or something to distract from sitting in silence getting anxious about appointment.  Even if TV has sound muted and subtitles

Nurse Sandy was great

JULY – 2024

 

Pie

01/07/2024 Better communication- I do bloods for various conditions (as do many  I’m sure), some at the hospital and some at the GP. It is not always clear who or what bloods are done where. Wasting my time and the NHS.
01/07/2024 Nothing could have improved the visit. Josie taking the blood was excellent as usual in taking the bloods as well as keeping to the appointment time. In fact she was early today which was really appreciated.
01/07/2024 None. Excellent service today
02/07/2024 Nothing. Pleased with my care and treatment
02/07/2024 Nothing
02/07/2024 Could not improve as it was perfect
02/07/2024 All good. A quicker appointment date but I appreciate the demands on the service
02/07/2024 Opening the door for 8.30am appointment although I realised people were waiting to book gp appointment not available until 8.30am . There were 10 people waiting in the corridor. Thanks
02/07/2024 Nothing, the nurse was excellent
02/07/2024 Longer appointment
02/07/2024 Nothing all good
02/07/2024 This was simply the taking of blood for a test. It was efficient and on time. No improvement on this is required.
03/07/2024 Everything was absolutely fine
03/07/2024 I can?t think of anything to change at this time
04/07/2024 All OK
04/07/2024 Nothing

05/07/2024 Nothing
05/07/2024 Excellent  service

05/07/2024 On today’s experience nothing.
05/07/2024 Nothing needs changing
08/07/2024 Nothing really. Everything worked very well. Thank you
08/07/2024 Nothing except availability of appointments – I waited 4 weeks for a blood test appointment

09/07/2024 Its working well as it is in my experience and thank you
10/07/2024 My wait time after arrival was longer than I would have liked for such an early appointment’ but there may have been a morning staff meeting taking place. Otherwise 10/10
10/07/2024 Nil
10/07/2024 You contacted me for an appointment which is good. Me trying to contact you not so good an experience
10/07/2024 I can?t honestly think of anything

11/07/2024 No improvement needed
Appointment on time
Ist class nurse
12/07/2024 If it ain’t broken don’t change it
12/07/2024 Less pain – last time the smear test was painless done by another nurse but this nurse who I have had before always causes me pain so she must be doing something different to causr me pain. She was very nice but I think she needs retraining.
12/07/2024 The current system seems to work well.
12/07/2024 To be On time? I understand about patient care appointments  and that to provide good care often takes longer? than expected but I
I work full time. Juggling routine health and meetings puts me under stress.
Excellent though when I got in?
12/07/2024 Nothing was in and out in minutes
15/07/2024 Make the surgery more welcoming, dark and unappealing, the reception desk is unapproachable and was pre COVID so not to blame. Understand the NHS restrictions on budget, but now feel a nuisance not a respected service receiver.
16/07/2024 Nothing
16/07/2024 Nothing to change, just keep on having the pretty nurse’s, it improves my eyesight tenfold!!!
16/07/2024 Nothing

25/07/2024 Personal appointment
25/07/2024 Nothing all good many thanks.
25/07/2024 To try and see the patients not phone calls because they can’t really diagnose the patient without seeing them face to face. They need to listen to patient when they are in pain
25/07/2024 Not necessary to change anything, I couldn?t fault the service received?first class!
25/07/2024 Which appointment was this?
26/07/2024 Nothing

APRIL – 2024

Pieapril

9.4.24 miss-informed by telephone yesterday that I could call at 8:30 this morning to book a face to face appointment for 6:30 this evening with Dr Every. They could not book last night as was not open to them yet, but when calling today they said there wasn’t an appointment free at that time and that they could book a call but couldn’t guarantee when that would be. it’s really unhelpful to have misleading and incorrect advice given to you. It’s not always possible or convenient to speak to the doctor during work hours and booking an appointment outside of 9-5 seems to depend on which receptionist we happen to speak to.
26.4.24 my son had an appointment booked for 15.55 on wes, we were 5 mins late due to traffic getting from work as my wife and I both work! The nurse refused to see him due to being 5 mins late, which meant more time off work, another appointment taken, this time by a Dr. Today we had an appointment with Dr at 16.15, it is now 16.30 and still not seen by Dr. Please review late process
26.4.24 we are indebted to all members of our wonderful Orchid House Surgery. We have nothing but praise for all doctors, nursing staff and receptionists who never let us down, thanks for everything
26.4.24 Always feel like I’m listened to and given help. All staff are very polite and helpful. Tracey (NP) is a lovely lady who always helps with any problem I have. Extremely thorough and understanding.
26.4.24 very prompt and efficient
