I have to say on all other fronts they are pretty good, except that like everywhere else they now do that slightly intrusive triage thing when you call, and over the past year it's gone from "appointment? Sure, come down this afternoon" to "well, we're booking for three weeks away".
But once you're in their clutches they are really nice and responsive, everyone is smiley and cheerful, and they always take time to listen and deal with you properly. They are a real village asset as a rule.
I happened to be there last week, and in conversation they said they had ten thousand people on the books. Given there are only about four thousand in the village, the next two villages have their own separate surgeries and then it's Cambridge, I'm not sure why so many. But I do know they have four doctors and sixteen support staff, so ten thousand seems like a lot of people for them to deal with to me.
