I am furious that the practice cites Covid for all its problems now when I am sure the owners are still making a profit....In my experience there are one or two receptionists answering calls in the morning, it's not enough. And there are not enough medical staff employed by practice for the number of patients they have. I don't mind someone earning a profit when the service is good but to cream off profits by providing an appalling service is immoral and should be stopped by those in power. People are suffering.

I have been outraged by this practice as we, the excuse now is "Covid", which doesn't make sense.

I have been trying to get my 1 year old checked for weeks, only to be told that if I am worried i should go to A&E or the walk in clinic in King's.

Which is outrageous.

I have sent an email of complaint to NHS England.

Maybe more should do it to get them to change something!?

When I got ill after having my daughter and needed urgent course of antibiotics, I tried to call them for three hours and never went through. Had to send my husband who arrived to find the practice super quiet with two receptionists doing not very much. Never got to the bottom of what happened. I actually hate DMC.

Just repeating James Barbar's post as it cannot be said enough if we want to try and get change...


'If you have complaints about your GP practices please complain here - https://www.cqc.org.uk/contact-us/how-complain/complain-about-gp-dentist-or-eye-care


Please, do not suffer in silence. Many do which is why things so often stay rubbish.'

Needed to get a repeat prescription from the DMC. Was told to go on the patient access portal and order that way. I went onto my account on the patient portal, but I could not see the "New Request" button anywhere. Has anyone else had this issue and how did you resolve? Thanks, Annie
On the phone for 45 minutes this morning to re-arrange an appointment they'd cancelled in the first place. Heavens knows how long we'd have had to hang on for but coincidently another branch of the practice rang and were able to help after their query was answered

I rang this morning and was 19 in the queue. Rang this afternoon and got through after a few minutes.


Was offered a phone appointment for 9.30 Tuesday but I will be at the hospital for an eye procedure. Asked can you switch the last appointment or another late afternoon one with me at 9.30. Answer Cannot do that you will have to ring on Wednesday to see if any appointments available.


Do not understand why.


How many other appoints are like this this.

Following the posts from Lynn and Rupert James I will add my experience today.


I received a text asking me to make an appointment with a doctor regarding blood test results for diabetes.


Result, no appointments,no indication of what is available or could be available but ring tomorrow at 8.am to see what is available if anything.


When asked to be connected with whoever is in charge answer no one senior is in to give answers or look into the system.


Good luck if you have to make an appointment.

They cannot reasonably discuss results online or send via text, etc.; they have to know who you are or they could be divulging private health records to a stranger. Be reasonable. By speakign to a human they have done as much as they reasonably can to check it is the right person, by asking for full name and DOB, etc.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
