NHS Activity

**Consultation Statistics**

December 2023

We would like to share with patients the volume of consultations which are being carried out.  There is an inaccurate media perception that GPs are not seeing patients.

  During the month of December, the Clinicians in the Practice carried out 1,728 telephone consultations and saw 4,215 patients face to face. 

 In addition, there are multiple patient contacts throughout the day, both acute and routine, which our Clinicians are dealing with. The system of having a telephone consultation in the first instance, prior to being seen, is working well for the majority of our patients. 

 Throughout December our Reception Team answered 9,863 calls to the practice, 2,433 of which were to the prescription line and 7,430 to our main line.

Social Media

Station Road Medical Practice welcomes feedback from our patients, both positive and negative.

We would kindly request that if you have negative feedback or a complaint, please bring it to the Practice directly rather than making inappropriate posts or comments on social media.

Please help us to help you. 

Thank you.

Drs. McLaughlin, Currans, Brown, McAndrew, McGill & Hutchinson
