Patient Feedback

A patient phoned to say that St Austell Healthcare is run fantastically well. He gave lots of praise for the staff and our approach during the pandemic. He said that moving to Cornwall last year was the best move he has made and that he feels very lucky to have such an excellent surgery looking after him.

I've been to the Healthcare Hub several times now and I feel very comfortable going to them, than other health hubs I've been to. The staff were very helpful, supportive in my personal reasons and really lovely so I gave them the clap they deserve! Many thanks again for their wonderful service!

My experience of the past 2 years.
In view of a spate of medical conditions over the past two years have to liaise with all departments of the practice from GP/Duty GP through to consultant referrals, blood tests, prescription management and telephone and on site reception. In all cases I have been met with courtesy, professionalism and expertise. The very brave amalgamation of all St Austell surgeries into one large practice (in 2014?) seems (after a few inevitable teething troubles) to have settled down and we now have a service all can be proud of. There will always be the occasional difficulty/mishap with a patient list of 30,000 plus, but from my own personal viewpoint I cannot praise the organisation enough. Keep up the good work and thank you very much for all your efforts.
