The walk-in service I nailed after a couple of visits. Also, the receptionist did tell me how long the wait was to be seen each time. Most of them are nice, just been unlucky one time when one of them was very upset about a challenging client. The nurse who has seen to me was very efficient. She advised me to go to A&E. Then another day, I had an appointment to see a doctor (whoop!!) and that was a very sour encounter. He was rude and obnoxious asking me what's wrong with me. All I wanted was a sicknote! I didn't even have a physical examination. He was half quick to whip out that sicknote though. I know a good doctor when I see one cos if the nature of my job. Then I find out that he's just a locum (yeah boi!) so next time I can ask the lovely receptionist can I not be seen by that old quack again.

I was initially impressed with this surgery, when I wasn't actually a registered patient here…read more Being able to walk in and see a Dr or nurse same day (even if you have to wait a while) is quite impressive these days, given the state of the NHS at the moment. After a while I registered with the surgery, and to be honest my experience so far hasn't been great. Having a long term health issue it's important for me to see the same doctor so they are familiar and understand what's going on. However I'm not sure the Drs at this surgery stay on for very long, because over the course of about 18 months I have seen a different Dr every single time I have had an appointment here. Some have been nicer than others, some have been plain rude and made me feel very uncomfortable. I am currently registering with another surgery elsewhere because I don't think the service provided here as a GP is good enough - also it never seems very clean and the building has deteriorated a lot since I started going here. Something always seems to be broken. As a drop in it's adequate.

Of course the doctors were well educated professionals with informative knowledge, well placed advice and a caring character-they don't just let anyone be a doctor you know.

Although a place of ill health by its very nature, the comradery and jovial spirit around was surprisingly easy to become a part of.

The speed of discharges has vastly improved within the last couple of years - if they tell you you can go home in the morning, then you are usually good to go, prescriptions and all within a couple of hours. Food leaves an awful lot to be desired, but then who ever really fancies eating when in hospital?! There is a cafe, staff restaraunt (which patients may use) and a shop, plus various vending machines. A&E is a bit hit and miss with waiting times - can appear empty yet you wait several hours, but also can appear absolutely packed and you'll be seen within the hour. On the whole the entire hospital does the job it's supposed to, and usually with a smile! One word of warning - take change for parking with you. If you don't you are likely to pay a far higher price with a ticket and there really is very limited, if any off site parking in the surrounding area.

I have found the team at BHWC to be fantastic - yes it can be a bit of a wait if you want to book an appointment in advance, however if you call at 8.30 in the morning you can be seen the same day.

Over the 3-4 years I've been in Brighton I have actually found myself there a fair bit, for routine appointments or more serious things, and I've had a range of experiences during my time there. The surgery itself is well laid out, comfortable and clean. The reception staff are helpful and generally pleasant, despite being very busy with the constantly ringing phones. There is an upstairs and downstairs waiting area, both of which are comfy enough. As you come into the surgery, you can check yourself in for your pre-booked appointment on the machine on the wall (under the stairs). This usually functions fine and is a smooth and easy way of letting the doctor or nurse know you're there. It also directs you to which seating area you should be waiting in, either upstairs or downstairs, so there's no confusion. The nurses I've seen here have all been wonderful. Very nice, very patient and not patronising at all. The doctors, on the other hand, are a bit of a mixed bag. I've seen a few that are a little abrupt and slightly condescending. I understand that they must have a lot of time wasters and hypochondriacs coming in (as with any doctors surgery) but it's never nice to be made to feel foolish for booking an appointment. That being said, I was once really rather ill here and I found myself getting a taxi straight from the surgery to A and E. On this visit, the staff (including the doctor) were all very attentive and not patronising in the slightest (perhaps because of my serious condition). They got me water and sent me with a handwritten letter explaining what was wrong - all very kind and professional. Since this incident I have always been treated very well in here, again perhaps because they can see from my files that I'm worth taking seriously. In terms of booking appointments, this is relatively straight-forward to do over the phone and there are usually slot available pretty quickly, especially if you express that it's an urgent thing. The appointments are also pretty on time which, as anyone who's ever been to a doctors surgery knows, can be a bit of a rarity! All in all, I like this practice. I might look at others closer to my new flat, yes, but for now, I am more than happy to stick with Albion Street Surgery. They may not be the most perfect doctors surgery in the world, but they're certainly not the worst and I'd say they were doing a pretty good job of things.
