Nhs surgery struggles with terrible management issues

I've been a patient at this surgery for 4 years. Initially, scheduling appointments and blood tests was effortless. However, the past 2 years have seen a dramatic decline. The system change appears to have been a critical error, causing me to lose all access to my medical records on the NHS app, despite repeatedly requesting resolution. I've encountered several unprofessional healthcare providers who were dismissive, rude, and judgmental, ultimately compelling me to file a formal complaint - something I'd never previously considered. One particular receptionist fills me with dread due to her complete incompetence and confrontational attitude. Recent appointment cancellations have left me unable to reschedule, and communication is nearly impossible. As a chronically ill patient seeking support, I feel thoroughly let down. The sole bright spots are the exceptional staff members. Dr. Oakley and Dr. Shaw have been remarkable, and the long-standing male receptionist, along with several other staff, consistently demonstrate kindness and helpfulness. While I recognize the inherent challenges within the NHS and understand staffing variations, it seems management has fundamentally mismanaged this surgery, likely due to insufficient funding. This is deeply disappointing for our local community, who have no alternative healthcare options.
