Couldn't reach manager during surgery merger period

I attempted repeatedly over several weeks to contact the practice management to discuss concerns about operational procedures that were impacting patients, but was unsuccessful. This was attributed to an ongoing merger process. My efforts to escalate these concerns were met with obstacles, and were further complicated by a missing consultation letter that had been sent electronically and subsequently lost within the practice system, with no explanation provided. Following a serious health incident at the local hospital's emergency department and acute assessment unit involving my partner, aftercare coordination was delayed due to issues with the practice's appointment system, which I felt was inadequate for purpose. I also contacted NHS 111 for guidance, though this was dismissed by the practice despite being logged on their records. Fortunately, the hospital requested my partner's return and the situation was resolved promptly with clinical support due to its urgent nature. Due to my direct and critical feedback at that time, I felt my concerns were disregarded without consideration for the stress we were experiencing following such a traumatic event. Without prior warning, I subsequently received correspondence suggesting I was responsible, and was removed from the patient list immediately following my honest assessment of these issues. I have since transferred to another practice, which I have found to be considerably more supportive and compassionate in its approach to patient care. Online reviews of the original practice suggest that my experience was not isolated, with other patients expressing similar frustrations regarding administrative processes, communication, and standards of care.
