Booking system acts as barrier to access
I only have 1 star because zero wasn't available. This medical facility is quite possibly the worst service in any industry or sector I have ever experienced. There is no customer service at all, the public are treated with such contempt it defies belief. The booking system serves only as a barrier to access rather than any form of assistance. Telephone lines open at 8 and from that time are instantly fully booked. The requirement to see a healthcare professional resulted in seeing a clinician who appeared to be writing out a prescription as I walked in, seemingly acting more as a pharmaceutical sales representative. I had previously told the receptionist about my health concern, as you are not even allowed to see anyone without divulging personal information to this administrative person. After no medical assessment or examination, merely a conversation where answers were repeatedly looked up online, I was 1) Prescribed medication and told it would be available at the nearest pharmacy to me - only to walk a considerable distance to them and be told the clinician should not have told me this as they don't carry that medication and would have to order it in, and it's now been over 2 weeks with no medication received, and 2) That I would be referred quickly for urgent treatment - again, no contact, not even a letter at some point in the future for urgent treatment... nothing! I would like to think this was a one-off, but no, this appalling service is repeated time and time again with every single person I have ever spoken to about this practice. They no longer offer over 100 treatments that are now deemed non-essential. In order to save costs, you can see where the savings are by the very expensive vehicles outside. This is no longer a medical facility to help people; it is a commercial operation to help their profits. Anyone even thinking of moving to the area should consider this if they were to ever need a doctor.

Why schedule an appointment for a flu vaccination if you still have to wait in the queue for 30 minutes? This was a disappointing experience.
