Long phone waits and delayed specialist referrals

I have been a patient at this surgery for approximately 12 years, and since the change in management, my experience has deteriorated significantly. I presented with a medical condition and was assessed by multiple clinicians, however I did not receive the anticipated referral to secondary care services. Instead, I was advised that my condition would remain unchanged, with little discussion about potential future health considerations. I have experienced lengthy waiting times when attempting to contact the practice by telephone, often waiting around an hour to speak with reception staff. A referral to a specialist service was arranged, but the necessary diagnostic imaging was not forwarded promptly, taking several weeks to be sent, which resulted in delays to my specialist appointment. I only became aware of this delay when I proactively contacted the specialist clinic myself to follow up. Overall, I have found the service to lack responsiveness and attentiveness to patient needs. I would encourage prospective patients to carefully consider their choice of practice, as I have not felt adequately supported in managing my healthcare.
