Appointment system makes getting through nearly impossible
This has been the most frustrating surgery experience we have had, and we are currently in the process of trying to register with an alternative practice. The booking system appears unnecessarily complicated; I have frequently needed to make numerous calls just to get through, only to be told that all available appointments have been taken and that I should attempt calling at an earlier time. This advice is particularly unhelpful when calling has already begun at opening time. In an attempt to resolve this, I requested access to online booking. However, this requires attending in person to both collect and submit the application form. The reception team were unwilling to show flexibility and informed me that I could not submit my partner's form on his behalf; he would need to attend personally to do so. When I explained that he works away and suggested they could contact him using details from his records to verify the information, I was told this would result in job loss. Only after this did they reluctantly consult with management, who approved the arrangement as an exceptional measure. When appointments are eventually secured, there is a tendency to be directed to hospital for concerns rather than receiving support at the practice; I have been told on multiple occasions that certain matters fall outside the scope of what can be addressed, despite having attended previously with the same ongoing issue. I felt compelled to lodge a complaint after calling to discuss test results, as the receptionist took it upon herself to relay the results over the phone and characterise them as abnormal. This was inaccurate, and I subsequently had to go through the entire process again to obtain a proper consultation where the correct interpretation was provided. On another visit for a routine procedure, the staff member collecting me mentioned having felt unwell; when I expressed concern, they indicated they would do their best to maintain steadiness. The procedure was carried out without proper hygiene precautions, and it was evident they were not in an appropriate condition to be working. The overall experience with this practice has been considerably stressful; however, I did have one notably positive interaction with an experienced healthcare professional in 2021 who demonstrated genuine compassion and support.
It appears that phone calls go unanswered, which is incredibly frustrating. I visited in person and was uncertain whether the practice was operating, as there was no sign of activity. I attempted to..
