Operations team resolved my shared care issue efficiently

I relocated from my previous practice because they were unable to assist with a matter involving coordinated care from another healthcare provider. When I requested an appointment, they were reluctant to arrange one and instead suggested I consider changing practices. I subsequently made the switch to my current surgery. I began working with the operations lead at my new practice, and found her to be exceptionally helpful. She provided valuable guidance and facilitated appointments that led to the outcomes I was seeking. Interestingly, I later discovered that my previous practice actually had the same policy regarding this issue. I have attended multiple appointments, including a respiratory health review that was unrelated to my original concern. I was particularly impressed by the clinical nurse and the quality of information she provided. Over the past year, I have had approximately 8-10 of these reviews annually, and I noticed that my respiratory symptoms have significantly improved. I am now considering whether I need to continue my current medication. The nurse has suggested an additional assessment to confirm this would be safe, and I have another appointment scheduled for this purpose. I was able to resolve my initial concern through communication with the practice team and appropriate testing, without needing to see a doctor. Given my background working in healthcare and supporting people through rehabilitation and claims processes, I have insight into how healthcare services operate and are structured. I believe this approach demonstrates how the NHS can function more effectively. Medical professionals do not have all the answers, and the support I have received from this team has given me considerable confidence that this is the right practice for me and my family. I plan to register my family members here as well.
