Online system caused three week appointment delays
If I could give minus stars, I would. The standard of care and service from this practice has been extremely poor. Since the introduction of the online consultation system, patients were told it would improve access to appointments and reduce waiting times, as well as ease the difficulty of getting through by phone each morning. Unfortunately, this has not reflected my own experience. I submitted an online consultation form and was only informed that my request had been reviewed and that an appointment would be scheduled when one became available. When I eventually received an appointment date — three weeks after submitting my initial consultation — I received multiple reminder messages, only to arrive at the surgery and learn the appointment had been cancelled. This level of delay and lack of organisation is unacceptable, particularly given my symptoms and the fact that I have been expressing these concerns for over two years. Throughout this period, I have been given various medications, including antidepressants, without a confirmed diagnosis or any thorough investigation into what might be causing my condition. This approach has left me feeling overlooked and let down. I have now requested to transfer to another GP practice as the care I have received has fallen significantly short of what I would expect. However, I believe it is important that this feedback is shared so the practice can review its processes, particularly around how consultations are assessed, how information is communicated, and how ongoing health concerns are managed. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering this practice explore other options.
