Review titled Frail elderly left in pain with no assessment or home visit
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 February 2023
After 3 phone calls for help, admin giving/relaying clinical information??? which is unacceptable as not qualified to do so, advising my relative is not priority as on antibiotic??. Patient frail and over 80 left in crying pain+++ as this GP practice just cannot be bothered, however still taking new patient's when they clearly cannot manage the patient's that they already have. Their processes are clearly not working and outdated, states surgery opens 8am try to get through and it informs you that they are closed?? that is if you are lucky enough not to be cut off. However this surgery need to understand that they have a duty of care to all their patient's registered and paid to look after their health and should stop taking the money if they cannot safely care for them. This surgery/staff and current processes need urgent review/inspection before somebody dies through their negligence.

Review titled Process unfit for purpose
Rated 3 stars out of 5

Most of the doctors are great, although I see them very rarely. Their operating process is a mess. my current issue has taken a total of five calls to get through the first triage due to their phone system. The Dr was excellent in his persistence however. An appointment 3 weeks ahead turned out to need a more urgent one so today I made four phone calls, listened to almost a one minute explanation, including an instruction to hang on for an appointment, at the end of each I was told my call couldn't be taken and try again later. After the fourth call I went to the surgery in person as I can drive there in a few minutes. Receptionist was not on the phone or otherwise busy, and when I explained I had called four times to try and get an appointment today, she just looked at me blankly as if to say "why should I care?". I explained my need, she said she'd arrange for the doctor to call me, so I repeated the fact I'd been triaged 2 weeks ago, and she said again she'd get the doctor to call. I confirmed I needed an appointment today and she kind of indicated yes. So I drove home again, angry at a process that clearly doesn't work and, in this case, a receptionist that was unhelpful and uncaring in her attitude - thankfully unlike others I have seen over the years who were lovely. I can only hope that I do get my appointment today...time will tell.
