Just been looking at the above website which gives you an opportunity to write and read reviews about hospitals, GPs clinics etc. I thought it might be of interest to those of us who have been posting about concerns with our or a loved-one's care.

Couldn't find my GP or my dentist.

I hadn't heard about this Mishap so wouldn't have rated either my GP or my dentist.

DH's patients are unlikely to have the capacity to use a website or have access to the internet, so, like Aka's Gp and dentist, he wouldn't show up.

So, on a personal basis, it doesn't seem a really good representation.

Thanks for that. I have at long last been able to vent my anger concerning the reception staff who think they run the surgery. On reflection, they do.
I put off going there because of them. The staff at my last surgery were lovely, but they moved.

Thank you Mishap this may be quite useful.

I looked up my surgery and found one - glowing - review with which I largely concurred. Which reminds me: I have to go and have an injection in my shoulder tomorrow morning. hmm

Yes thank you mishap. It's nice to be able to have a way of saying a public thank you to my wonderful G.P and the whole surgery staff.

Has anyone figured out how to write a review if your GP or dentist isn't 'in' this scheme?

Slightly out of date. The care home in my village was closed four years ago. It's been pulled down now to make way for a new surgery, etc., but it's asking for reviews.
Anything on here can be put on NHS choices website, which hopefully will be taken more notice of.

Aka, at the bottom of each section it asks if your GP/ dentist is there?
If not, click here, and you can put the info in.
