Formal Complaint Lodged and Moving Surgery

I had been with this GP surgery since moving into the area and have found it a extremely disappointing experience. The reception staff are shocking and without doubt the cause of the majority of problems, often dismissive, rude and show very little empathy towards patients. Communication is extremely poor and obtaining an appointment can take up to four weeks, which is unacceptable when people are seeking medical help this appears to be the major issue reading other client reviews There appears to be little continuity of care, as I rarely see the same GP twice, though I must say the GP's have been very good however it difficult to build a relationship with a doctor who understands a patient's medical history. My biggest concern is patient safety. Delays in accessing appointments and the apparent lack of urgency shown to patients could result in serious medical conditions being missed or worsening before they are assessed. Due to my experiences, I am currently in the process of transferring to another GP surgery and have lodged a formal complaint with PALS regarding the standard of care and service I have received. I appreciate that NHS services are under pressure, but patients deserve respect, compassion and timely access to medical care. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise anyone new to the area to think carefully before registering with this practice
