Friar Gate Surgery

Wow. This place is the worst GP’s I’ve ever had but then I feel like I’d not get any better elsewhere. Problems?
— They share the 4 doctors with multiple practices.
This means that you can never see the doctor you want to see because they are always out of office. This isn’t a problem if you just need to see someone. If you are having a specialist send paperwork to a doctor to process to arrange a consultant to arrange to write to another specialist to ACTUALLY GET THINGS DONE then this is beyond worthless. Your doctor will be unavailable and unworkable at all times. Any time you want to see them they will be out of office or emergencies only.
It is actually worth it for a laugh though because you can go through the NHS standards agency and start making formal issues and complains of everything which means eventually you get better service than you would usually get but really their current system is slightly broken and needs looking at.
Also I’ve had a few of their sectaries be rude to me. They’ve also recently changed their local number to an 0845 number which isn’t counted as part of my ‘free local calls’ with my phone company!
