 Feedback from patients.

Patients' are informing us that they are struggling to get through on the telephones. We have reviewed the different types of calls we are receiving.

A high number of calls are due to prescription requests. We have tried very hard to not follow other surgeries in not allowing telephone requests but we have now had to change due to the high demand and patients struggling to get through for appointments .

 You can order your medicatiom via the

online service by obtaining a username and password from Gildersome Health Centre .

Link your record to the NHS app and order via the app 

order through your nominated pharmacy .If one pharmacy is not suitable then try another one .

by dropping a request in writing to Gildersome Health Centre .We have some forms at the surgery .

We are in the process of recruiting extra Reception staff to answer the telephones . This is a long process to recruit and train new members and we hope it will make a positive difference to the call waiting time for patient's by February 2025.
