10/10
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

05/12/2023 Less arrogance

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.

14/12/2023 the two nurses that I saw were lovely and chatty made the whole experience lovely as I get very anxious when having blood taken, once again well done orchid house  merry Christmas
14/12/2023 Shame that blood test couldn?t of been carried out immediately instead of appointment in 2 weeks time

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

22/12/2023 Nothing

01/11/2023 Appointment was on time and the nurse extremely pleasant so all was good
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
01/11/2023 All very efficient

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 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!

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

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.

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

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.

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, 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.

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.

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 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

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

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 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.
22/09/2023 Stop the glare when laying down having your Blood pressure taken,it’s a

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 !

With the practice
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.
27/09/2023 would like to see and talk to a Doctor. to be able to ask questions
28/09/2023 No
28/09/2023 All good
28/09/2023 Nothing, it went very well and I was very happy with the service I received.
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 !
28/09/2023 Check in machine was not working
28/09/2023 I wouldn?t want to change anything!
It was on time, the nurse was brilliant to deal with.
Blood taken without my realising it,  and on my way home in 10 minutes totally satisfied.

10/08/2023 When i received a phone call about the appointment  I was not told to bring a urine specimen.  My wife will now have to make another trip.
10/08/2023 All fine. I can’t think of anything that would have made it better.
10/08/2023 More car parking would be nice.
10/08/2023 Every thing was good
10/08/2023 Very good experience no suggested improvements, you offer a quality service, thank you.
10/08/2023 No change  needed
11/08/2023 My only complaint was they were about 10 minutes late with the appointment otherwise the treatment was very good
11/08/2023 Was perfect
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.

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.

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?

28/06/2023 Nothing been very good
28/06/2023 No
29/06/2023 No change, all fine.
29/06/2023 Sometimes a phone call isn?t as good as seeing a doctor such as hearing problems. A doctor really needs to see the patient in order to know what treatment is required
30/06/2023 Everyone has a different approach to suit their own body needs
30/06/2023 Everything was good nurse was extremely kind and helpful. And as it was a Friday evening appointment the other people were very kind too as they had to wait around as it had gone 6.30
30/06/2023 Great service from staff and Doctor.
