Review titled Sign of the times
Rated 3 stars out of 5
by Catherine Blyth - Posted on 08 May 2024
I have been a patient since N F and P ( not allowed to use names apparently) , so have experienced many receptionists over the years. Over 60 years, yesterday was the height of ignorance, the pharmacy rang me saying I had to get an emergency script immediately. I relayed the message politely to be told there’s no chance of that. Then I got the ins and outs of the politics of surgery. Seriously!!! then she said the line was bad and the phone went dead. The pharmacist rang again so I repeated the conversation her response was you can’t go without this medication for that length of time. Did you get her name, she didn’t give it , no surprise there with that attitude. As a care provider we get scrutinised on everything we do and reported. I have never felt the need to review my surgery before but the level of professionalism has dropped dramatically in my experience. The only statement I wanted to hear was we will try our best to sort this for you, not war and peace. I felt drained after that onslaught, not a good experience at all.

Dear Catherine, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly sorry that your call to the surgery did not meet your expectations and you went away feeling drained. That is certainly not what we want our patients to go away feeling and i will pass this on to the whole pharmacy team as constructive feedback. Feedback is invaluable to us and we take it seriously. If you do wish to discuss further please feel free to contact us via highfield.enquiries@nhs.net. Kind regards, Heather Practice Manager

Disappointed that the surgery couldn't help me with a simple request. Not a place that I can trust going forward. Everything seems to be a struggle for the practice.
