Whitwick Road Surgery Friends and Family response:

Thank you to our patients for all your feedback. These responses’ allows us to improve the care provided here at the surgery.

We have noticed a lot of comments this month regarding our Doctors running behind. We apologise for this but our Doctors do run behind which can be caused by:

  • Emergencies which are unavoidable.
  • Patients discussing multiple problems during an appointment.
  • Patients arriving late to their appointments.

We appreciate your obvious understanding in these situations.

We have also noted the delay in getting through in the morning. We have 3 phone lines and 4 members of staff answering these calls constantly. We appreciate how busy we are at 8am, please just bear with us and we will answer your call as soon as possible. 

A message for our patients

Due to the continuing high demand for appointments and following recent patient comments about the problems obtaining an appointment, the Doctors have employed an Advanced Nurse Practitioner on a Monday and Tuesday to try and increase the availability for everyone. To ensure that appointments are made for the appropriate person our clinical administrators will be asking you questions to ensure you are booked into the right clinician. Emma our Advanced Nurse Practitioner can see most queries including infections, rashes, injuries etc. The Doctors would be most grateful for your support in this new procedure to ensure maximum availability for appointments going forward. 

Please do not use the ring back option when calling the surgery - especially at 8 am. The quickest way to get through to reception is to keep trying.

Think Pharmacist first!

'Think pharmacist first. They can provide much more than just a prescription - you do not always need to see a doctor. An appointment used for a common cold prevents someone else who may need this appointment from accessing clinical support which may delay treatment.Click here to read the information leaflet!
