"Great staff"

About: Hathaway Surgery

I have been happy with my experience at Hathaway Medical Centre. Although I can’t mention her by name, I have found one of the female doctors to be one of the most supportive and helpful that I have ever dealt with. I have recently needed treatment for another condition and this case one of reception staff, a younger person , was incredibly helpful and manged to arrange an ad hoc appointment with a Dr on the spot. Even though I was not his patient he also went out of his way to help me. This good care was followed up when I had a blood test, again the lady went out of her way to help in answering my questions. The only difficulties that I have had is using the online booking system which is not particularly user friendly and imagine causes a lot of problems, I imagine particularly for older patients. I think that it would be much better for both patients and staff if the surgery went back to making appointments via the reception desk. A someone who also work in the NHS, it is great to good patient care, and I feel this is the best surgery that I have used over the years.

Dear Mark, thanks so much for your positive feedback and I'm glad that the staff here at Hathaway have given you great care and support.

Thanks also for the feedback about the triage system, I appreciate this doesn't suit everyone, however we feel it's a great improvement on the previous phone call system, where the appointments were all gone after 8.15am and the phone lines were always jammed. This is also part of the NHS digital transformation strategy.

We are always looking at ways to try and improve our service and I will share your comments with the other partners too, to see if there's anything further we can do about accessibility.

Thanks again

Wendy Mant Practice Manager.
