When I joined this practice, it was struggling with resources to meet the needs of the largest patient list in Cambridgeshire.  Apparently this was due to the difficulty in attracting GPs to our area and exacerbated (at that time) by a number of GPs leaving or retiring.The whole practice has worked very hard over the past few years, no doubt whilst under a lot of pressure, to improve the patient services. Without exception, my recent interactions with the surgery have been very efficient and well organised – hence the surgery now keeps reminding me of “a well oiled machine” as per my review title.   I probably wouldn’t have said that 5 or more years ago.My 91 yr. old Mum stayed with me for the initial 6 months of Covid lockdowns last year – as no-one knew then how the likely lockdowns would be implemented.  At the time China was totally quarantining and sealing off entire cities, towns, villages and roads.  So back in early 2020, it seemed possible that my brother and I might be prevented from visiting Mum 300 miles away if she needed help.  She was on the severely vulnerable list, but we where struggling to get any local assistance for her.   She also needed a lot of help with arranging online food ordering, prescriptions and quickly adapting to total virtual living etc.  Although she is a super-fit and active 91yr-old, she has acquired an impressive collection of conditions that require numerous prescriptions and regular blood-test reviews etc.   North Brink arranged absolutely everything including a home visit phlebotomist and a lot of persistence getting her records etc which were not on the same system as NHS England, without us even having to ask or call.  Again it was very efficient and well-organised, and most importantly – very safe for my Mum’s health – nothing was overlooked.   During her stay, she only needed treatment for one new issue.  North Brink dealt with this very promptly and effectively, so that what could have developed into a life-long annoying condition (if treatment was delayed) has now fully resolved itself and she has been able to stop the treatment.Needless to say that when I took Mum home (to a part of the UK that I had better not name), she has very enthusiastically telling her friends about all of the benefits and advancements of NHS England and North Brink in particular.Thank you very much for the obvious hard work that all the team in North Brink must have done over the past few years.  I hope that the improvements have also made it a little less stressful for the admin and clinical teams. Even when the GP workload must have been incredibly difficult a few years ago, my GP has been excellent and very conscientious throughout.P.S. if any ambitious GPs are accidently reading this review, I highly recommend North Brink Practice in Wisbech for your next career move – it’s run by a great forward-thinking team.   Also the beer and Yacht marina are a lot cheaper than the South.
