Bad
I have had two recent appointments that did not result in any action being taken. No blood tests were offered despite experiencing symptoms consistent with previous episodes of anaemia, which have previously required emergency treatment. I was experiencing the same symptoms as before, and although a specialist clinic had recommended regular blood monitoring, none was arranged. Instead, my blood pressure was checked. I also submitted a request for blood tests through the online system, but this was not actioned either. I am concerned that this situation may escalate to requiring emergency services intervention when my symptoms become more severe. I contacted 111 about my symptoms and was advised to call 999, which would place additional strain on emergency services. This is something I feel should be addressed at GP level before reaching that point. Additionally, I experienced a delay of two weeks in having a repeat prescription approved following a review, and I had to follow up myself after running out of medication. I want to note that I do not frequently visit my GP and do not consider myself to be an anxious patient, which is why I find this lack of action particularly concerning.
