Parking is at the bottom of a hill so it is a little walk - it is £1.70 for 4 hours, something I begrudge paying, as I feel it is a tax on the sick. There are the usual outpatients departments, accident and emergency and general surgery. I went inside to the enquiry desk and was welcomed by the assistant. She directed me to the blood test section, I took a ticket, waited my turn and was seen within 5 minutes. I went to the x-ray section (just across the hall) and again only had to wait around 15 minutes. The staff were very helpful and the hospital was very clean and well run. There were soap dispensers everywhere to protect against the spread of germs. All in all, a good experience.

The reception and admin staff are polite and courteous, making efforts to accommodate your appointment and work around your schedule, often calling you back if a more convenient slot becomes available. They are very professional and maintain patient confidentiality, and speak about patients respectfully when talking to each other (which I have seen reception staff fail to do in so many other practices). The waiting rooms are clean and comfortable, displaying useful information and calling you to the surgery rooms via a large screen. There is even an electronic check-in desk where you can sign in for your appointment when the reception desk is very busy. All of the doctors and practice nurses I have seen have been professional and caring, and I would recommend this surgery to anyone living in the catchment area.

But, I find, as doctor's practices go, this medical centre in Withington is really quite pleasant. It's not a nightmare to get an appointment, doctors are friendly, the clinic is really modern , and there's a handy pharmacy attached so you don't have to go on a treasure hunt through town to pick up your prescription. Well worth signing up to if you're new to the area, or unhappy with your current practice.

That said, it's primary concern is looking after patients in the area. There are two waiting rooms downstairs and one on the first floor where you will find the surgery nurses. It's usually fairly busy and at this time of year you're looking at a two day wait for an appointment (here come the winter ailments). The telephone number places you in a queue, but not a 'telephone' queue as you will find with the large utilities companies: you can expect no more than a 5 minute wait if it's really busy (usually at 8:30am). There is a pharmacy built within the centre so you don't have to trek into the main village for your treatments and medicines.

Withington Community Hospital isn't really in Withington. It's in West Didsbury. I was a bit…read moresuspicious when I was referred to this hospital as in my experience any establishment with the word 'community' in it has had zero sense of community and on the contrary has been pretty rough. However, this NHS hospital is large, modern and welcoming with nice artwork on the walls - or so my boyfriend tells me. The dermatology department, which I was referred to, is located in a little old portacabin just down the road. Every time I've been there I've had to wait for at least 20 minutes after my appointment time. The walls are covered in little posters warning patients not to abuse staff if they're running late, which made me think that my experiences were not uncommon. When I was finally seen the treatment I received was absolutely excellent, the nurse was always so friendly and didn't give the impression she was rushing through (probably the reason for the wait). On one visit I also saw a specialist Dr who was just as friendly and helpful. You can park free for 30 minutes (which would be enough to drop someone off but not for an appointment), there is a pay and display machine for longer visits and the 84 bus stops right outside the hospital. There isn't an A&E, so this is only really a hospital you would visit on referral from a GP, but there is also a walk-in centre in the main building.
