Results of the Bampton Medical Practice 2015 Patient Survey and Action Plan 

Outline

The 2015 Bampton Medical Practice patient survey took place on the 23 – 27 February 2015, questionnaires were done at both the Bampton site and the Carterton site.  During this period questionnaires were left out in the surgery, 110 questionnaires were received back.  All patient survey sheets are anonymous but the practice would like to thank all those patients who took the time to complete this patient survey.  Results from patient’s survey 2015 are recorded at Annex A.  Respondents also had the opportunity to free text comments about the practice, we received a 27% uptake on this and all comments are listed at Annex B.  This report and the results from the survey will be discussed with the Patient Participation Group (PPG) and an action plan will be created to address any issues.

Patient Survey

The 2015 patient survey asked patients seven questions, five questions were graded very satisfied, satisfied, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, dissatisfied and very dissatisfied.   The questions 1 and 2 were gender and age related, this was to display in the survey results that a fair age and gender range of our registered patients have been represented in this survey.  Action plan for this survey has been agreed by the PPG meeting held on the 19 March 2015 and is listed at Annex C.

Results

   Patients Comments

   Comments – Feel free to add any comments on back if sheet if required.

    

1. I am grateful to be a member of such a good practice.

2. I have always had excellent treatment from the surgery. I am able to speak    with my Doctor at a time which is much appreciated as I am a diabetic. 

3. Treatment sometimes very good other times incredibly bad. 

1. The way that appointments are now dealt with are frustrating. 

1. Some doctors are very good others not to not help in resolving the issues. 

1. Reception staff can be very rude when calling in but when you arrive they are very welcome. 

1. We are very lucky to have Bampton and Carterton Surgeries. 

1. Prefer to book appointments on line as some receptionists are scary. 

1. Don’t Mend it if it aint broke. 

1. Being called back by the Dr suits me fine allows opportunity to explain and leave choice of appointment or not , where it should be i.e. with the Dr. 

1. Saturday would be good (appointments). 

1. Difficult to book appointment for ill children when you have to wait for the Dr to phone back, but need to go to work/arrange child care. 

1. 5 Grammar and typing errors (refers to the survey sheet).

 So far I have been very fortunate and been given an appointment with my doctor. Being very elderly I am not happy at having to discuss much on the telephone as I am deaf but realise how busy the doctors are, we are very lucky with the surgery and pharmacy. 

1. One Receptionist is particularly unfriendly & the other is the opposite. When you are feeling unwell you really do not need someone to be unpleasant. The other receptionist is great though. 

1. It would be good for the practice to be open on a Saturday. 

1. It would be helpful if opening hours were slightly later in the evenings/ I think the triage system works well, usually with a fairly quick phone call back. 

1. Could be friendlier both face to face and on the phone (Reception) 

1. More Books. 

1. Waiting room is much less comfortable than when I first came to the practice. The radio is really annoying when the room is empty 

1. Just thank you Dr Grimwade. 

1. Should be open on a Saturday 10 am – 3pm, would spread out to see a doctor as bampton is a very busy surgery. 

1. Thanks 

1. We feel that people who miss appointments for no good reason should be charged. 

1. Been coming to the surgery for years, always courteous, friendly and helpful. 

1. But Surgery is very dirty toilet floor and area waiting room carpet. 

1. Vary Satisfied with Carterton – Bampton receptionist can be very rude at times. 

1. Bampton and Carterton surgery have been amazing. I Have health and anxiety and the receptionists at both surgeries are understanding and the doctors always take the time to see me and reassure me sometimes at really short notice. I have been a patient here for the past four years and it is 100% better than my last practice. I am so thankful for all that you do. 

1. Not happy with the telephone referral, very inconvenient for work. Please bring back old appointment system.
