Poor

Friendly staff but seriously terrible medical service

The staff are genuinely delightful, but the service is absolutely abysmal! Upon our transfer to Sutherland Lodge (feb 2025), they misplaced two of my child's application forms within a mere two weeks, with the third application proceeding smoothly. I received missed appointment notifications despite never having scheduled any appointments, which unfairly tarnishes one's NHS record. Me: I attempted to book my depo injection, but upon arrival, they claimed they "couldn't locate the injection" and suggested rebooking. When I called the following week, they informed me they didn't have the shots on-site and that I needed to obtain a prescription first. Inexplicably, they booked me two additional injection appointments without securing a prescription or notifying me, resulting in unwarranted no-show marks. These injections are critically time-sensitive, requiring precise 12-week intervals. Fortunately, I was on a treatment break, otherwise this could have caused serious medical complications. My child: After prolonged waiting for form uploads, she finally secured a medication review appointment. We were told the prescription merely needed signing and would be pharmacy-available the next day. However, it wasn't ready, and upon checking two days later, we discovered it hadn't been arranged at all, still awaiting a doctor's signature. Due to no available signing personnel for an entire day, we couldn't collect the prescription for another two days. The level of disorganization is utterly mind-blowing, especially concerning healthcare matters. We've ultimately transferred to another medical practice. Two months of persistent miscommunication and bureaucratic inefficiency finally pushed us over the edge.
