Administrative chaos made scheduling appointments impossible
I relocated to this surgery a few months back. The clinical staff are excellent, however the back-office operations are problematic and this is making me seriously think about switching practices. My child is 4.5 months old. She had a vaccination appointment scheduled for the 3 month round with this surgery. However, due to a medical issue (she required antibiotics and we were advised to postpone her appointment) I requested an appointment the following week but the administrative staff informed me there were no slots available until the following month, which would coincide with her next vaccination round. I offered flexibility with timing if they could possibly fit me in as I was concerned about further delays. I had attended the previous appointment and am aware that vaccination appointments are brief, so it seemed unlikely they couldn't make space. I ended up arranging a private vaccination and paying out of pocket to prevent additional postponement. At our 2 month checkup, I was asked to attend my own appointment first with the child's vaccination scheduled for the afternoon due to lack of availability, though fortunately the clinical team managed to see us both during the morning visit. Then her 4 month appointment came around. This had been scheduled and booked several weeks prior. I was travelling and received notification that due to unforeseen circumstances, the appointment was rescheduled two weeks later. There was no explanation provided, and no one contacted me to confirm we could attend at the new time. I received a reminder the day before the appointment. When I arrived this morning, I was told the appointment had been cancelled and they were unaware I hadn't been notified, with no clinical staff available to administer the vaccination. So once again her appointment has been delayed by a month. The level of disorganisation has been genuinely frustrating. It's challenging to get a young child ready and to appointments, and it's really disappointing when you cannot depend on appointment times being honoured.
I arrived a few minutes late for my appointment and called ahead to notify the practice. However, I was kept waiting at reception for around 12 minutes. Once I checked in, I was asked to take a..
