Medication requests repeatedly missed or incomplete
I have been incredibly frustrated with my experience. I have been a patient at this practice for many years and have encountered persistent difficulties with medication requests over the past four years. When I request items, I am sometimes told they are not due, but when I check, I find that I am actually correct and they were needed. When I become distressed about missing pain relief, it significantly impacts my ability to work my demanding front-line role with long shifts. My medication is essential for managing my condition and allowing me to function at work. I have experienced considerable job loss this year due to inadequate pain management. All I am asking for is that my medication requests are processed accurately. After several days, I would reasonably expect my prescriptions to be ready. I have found that errors occur frequently with my orders. When I have called to raise concerns, the same issues have recurred. On one recent occasion, I explained that I had ordered multiple items but two were missing. When I visited in person to address this, I discovered that the items had not been requested at all. I am extremely dissatisfied with the service I have received and would welcome hearing if others have experienced similar difficulties.
Excellent medical staff, courteous front desk team, well-maintained facilities and amenities throughout the practice.

Excellent service, as always dealing with the typical resource constraints faced by NHS facilities. Would recommend. P.S. It's best to avoid bringing minor matters to their attention.

Supportive and aligned with what one would anticipate from a contemporary group medical practice.

Unable to secure an appointment with a doctor. The reception staff provide one explanation, but then you find yourself waiting throughout the day for a callback that never materialises.
