Dangerously not fit for purpose PHONE 111 INSTEAD!

After suffering low blood pressure causing fainting episodes approx 6 wks following my AVR (open heart surgery) I telephone the Gowerton surgery for an appointment & am greeted with screening conversation from the non clinical management. I explained my medical history & current problem & following the advice given, that I should visit A&E department as the surgery was only available for urgent appointments. I asked the person if he was clinically trained for medical screening of this sort & the reply was that he wasn't. So I raised the fact that this screening was dangerous & wholly inappropriate by an untrained clinical member of staff. I also asked him to inform the on call GP of my displeasure. In desperation I went to Morriston A&E & spent 14 hours there trying to get some advice/treatment. After sitting in A&E for about 5 hours I received a follow up call from the GP to see how I was getting on. I told the that Ias at A&E waiting for attention. He assured me that he would look into my experience with the manager & he apologised. In my experience of the abismal past performance of this practice I wouldn't have held my breath on any action being taken to reel in these people who think they can bypass the necessary clinical qualifications & manipulate their own buisiness quality indicators by deflection of appointment traffic. Now looking to move to another area with a better GP outfit. In future my advice is to phone 111 & save your life.
