Declining quality of care at blackthorn medical practice

Overall Experience from GP survey: 2020: 91% 2021: 87% 2022: 71% 2023: 65% Source: https://gp-patient.co.uk/surveysandreports Blackthorn is currently positioned in the bottom third of national medical practices regarding patient experience. According to the rankings, they now stand at 4605 out of 6430 practices, or the 71st percentile. In 2020, they were at 1495 out of 6833, or the 22nd percentile. This represents a significant decline over just three years. The quality degradation has driven me to exclusively use private GPs through Bupa, which I now pay for out of pocket. I now obtain medications via online services because during my last interaction, Blackthorn failed to issue a prescription they had promised. Recently, the practice texted me about a Bupa letter they had received. I managed to secure a telephone consultation scheduled for several weeks from now. I consider myself fortunate to get an appointment - though I'm doubtful it will actually materialize as planned. The statistical data unequivocally tells the story, and my personal experience perfectly aligns with these numbers.
