I went to see a physio for pain in my side. After an MRI and long waits, I was told there was…read morenothing wrong with my back, that I should do more exercise, and that I should stop being careful with my back. I already exercise and have a perfect BMI. I followed his advice and tried to move more, but I ended up unable to move because of severe back pain. He had told me there was nothing on my MRI and nothing wrong. I requested my records and the MRI scan so I could see for myself, because it was hard to believe--and I have now lost my job after following his advice and being unable to get to work. It turns out the MRI scan has still not been provided, but the notes he wrote completely contradict what he told me. They mention bulging discs and arthritis in my spine. I phoned up and was told to talk to PALS. I tried, but the voicemail box is full so you can't leave a message. I've made 63 unanswered phone calls now and there seems to be no other way to do anything. It feels like a great way to avoid complaints--just don't answer the phone.

The University Hospital, Darlington Memorial & Bishop Auckland General are grouped together in an…read moreNHS trust sharing services. Parking here is limited but have found a space when I have been recently, costing £2.50 for 2hrs going up to £4 for 12hrs, special parking is available if you have to park for longer, check with reception. As with most hospital outpatient appointments hurry up & wait is the norm. One thing I did find useful in this tech age is you can get digital copies of x-rays taken at any of the 3 hospitals, which are put on a CD with a password encryption. These have to be ordered & collected later. The charge to access medial records is £10 payable on collection. I found this service very useful as I don't remember how the x-rays looked during the appointment but was nice to examine them in my own time at home later & show them to my GP, remembering that it is confidential information. I found the nursing staff to be helpful & pleasant but the orthopaedic consultant a little brash as the first time I saw him was 9am on a Sunday morning. The 2nd visit he was a little more pleasant.

Dr Newbegin has treated me during this period and what an excellent doctor she is ,her knowledge, helpfulness and communication skills ( essential in a diverse community such as Fawdon ) are first class,she is a credit to the group. The nurses , also , are worthy of praise , they welcome you like a long lost friend and are very skilled with your treatment. The reception team have to bear the brunt of an entire nations problems (appointments ) and they do it with control and politeness . Overall, I am very happy with the service.

Able to offer appointments on the day for emergencies or in the evenings outside of work. The doctors never rush you neither if you want to flag up more than one issue! Your repeat prescriptions can be delivered to your local boots store or pharmacy if this is more convenient. I wax actually gutted to leave when I moved again outside of the catchment area. Highly recommend for anyone in the jesmond area!

I found the registration process for Mallard easy…read moreto deal with, and unlike my old GP in Birmingham, Mallard offer registration for an online service where you can order repeat prescriptions to be electronically sent to your preferred Pharmacy, view your existing medical records and book appointments without having to play the lottery of telephoning the surgery at the right time. The surgery itself is one of the smallest in the area, the benefit of which is that you don't feel rushed when seeing staff for an appointment. Nobody likes having to visit the Doctors, but this practice makes visits as easy an experience as possible.
