Todmorden Group Practice

No GPs available for appointments. No blood test appointments available. Staff are lovely and apologetic and do their best, but ultimately the surgery really is not fit for purpose and should be taken over. The NHS must have a governing body who can send someone in the turn around a failing practice in the same way that offstead would do for a failing school surely?
With A&E wait times, no walk in blood tests since covid and other restrictions on the NHS, the lack of services at Todmorden Group Practice could result in a serious condition not being treated with terrible consequences.

When you try to get an appointment with the GP you can't get in, the phone is engaged all the time.
It is a good practice but there is only one doctor.

Been trying for 7 days to get appointment following recent major knee surgery but can't get through

After eventually getting through to the doctor the line is often cut of. Alternatively it's extremely challenging to get an appointment. Don't know why we still have to be let in the building as you can walk into a dentist or private physio.

I realise the National Health Centre is under of lot of pressure but I am sure you also understand the frustration I and many others are feeling at the inability to speak to a health professional.
On Saturday evening I was very ill, i vomited every 40 mins for well over 14 hours. i phoned 111 and they wanted me to go to hospital but could only send a taxi. I was too ill to contemplate this. There were no ambulances available so they sent an ambulance responder. he suggested that I speak to my GP on Monday. I phoned yesterday and was fortunate to receive a call back from a nurse practitioner. She said that If I had not improved then I would need a face to face appointment and that she would send a prescription for the sickness. i did not receive a prescription. I phoned today as I am still in pain. I was told there was no prescription for me and that a face to face was not requested on my notes. As always, I was told to ring again tomorrow.
What do you advise? I honestly do not know how to see a GP. This is not the first time I have had these symptoms, it is the third.

Unable to get any appointments especially for children, ignore emails, calls. Serious lack of duty of care.
Cannot comment on cleanliness, as the place is still unopen to public after 2 years.

Extremely time consuming to even get through to someone on the phone and if you do get through generally no appointments. The situation is getting worse and worse, always blamed on covid but other surgeries are functioning properly again, why isn’t this one?

Can never ever get through on phone the most awful music when on hold. No doctor ever available, what on earth is it even there for?

Can never get through as stuck in queue then cut off after 10 minutes. When you do get through no appointments. Never any drs available and no face to face. NHS app still doesn't work and don't answer emails

Never any appointments when you ring at given time and if you can get through. Took me 2 days recently and then only a telephone appointment. When you do finally get to attend, the nursing staff are lovely.
