Doctor wouldn't listen to repeated concerns about pain
I am planning to lodge a formal complaint with NHS England. I experienced severe throat discomfort lasting several days following a viral illness, and over-the-counter pain relief proved ineffective. During my appointment, the clinician appeared dismissive of my concerns, suggesting I simply continue with pain medication despite my repeated explanations that this approach was not providing relief. I was given a topical spray and asked to provide a swab sample, which was difficult given my difficulty swallowing. I was informed results would take approximately three days, meaning I would need to manage my symptoms during this waiting period. After contacting 111, I was advised that I had a secondary infection requiring antibiotic treatment, and that pain relief alone would not have been sufficient. I felt the appointment was rushed, lasting only a few minutes, and that my concerns were not properly addressed or taken seriously. I am concerned about the quality of care provided and the impact this has on wider NHS services. I intend to pursue this matter further and am considering registering with an alternative practice.
The reception team appears unmotivated and disengaged. Staff members frequently seem distracted and communicate in a manner that lacks courtesy. The overall service quality suggests this practice..

Experienced a lengthy wait for a telephone appointment that lasted several hours, which was frustrating. Will not be seeking further consultations through this method.

I had a disappointing experience recently when I was expecting a telephone consultation. Despite being told that contact would be made, I did not receive the call I was waiting for.
