29% of our patients felt that they had to wait to long at their appointment:

We will endeavour to run surgeries not more than 10 minutes late. This involves a poster in the surgery reminding patients that we have 10 minutes for an appointment and if they have several problems they may need to book another appointment.

35% of our patients were not happy that other patients could overhear what was being said to the receptionist.

A notice has been put up at reception informing patients to let the receptionist know if they have something confidential they would like to discuss so the patient can be moved to a seperate area away from the reception area.
