Phone booking removed, receptionist unhelpful
I have been a patient at this practice for over 30 years and have always found it straightforward to arrange appointments until now. I contacted the surgery today regarding a respiratory infection and hoped to have a brief consultation to obtain medication. I was informed that telephone appointments are no longer available and that I must complete an online form for the doctor to assess whether an appointment is appropriate and when it might be scheduled. Additionally, the receptionist's manner came across as dismissive, suggesting I should have been aware of this change, which has apparently been in place for approximately eighteen months. I regret that I am not frequently unwell enough to have kept up with procedural updates. This practice was once somewhere I felt confident recommending, and I had built a long-standing relationship with my healthcare provider. However, the service has deteriorated noticeably over recent times, and I have decided that I will be seeking care elsewhere. It is concerning that when accessing routine GP appointments has become this difficult, it is little wonder that emergency departments face such extended waiting times.
Completely unhelpful and not a worthwhile experience.
