Phone booking system makes medication refills difficult

The standard of care appears to be declining progressively. Telephone appointment booking is not available. The online prescription renewal system is structured in a way that makes it easy to deplete medication supplies before the next batch arrives. I have personally experienced running out of essential medications on two separate recent occasions. My ongoing health management requires regular medication, and these gaps in supply have negatively impacted my wellbeing each time a prescription renewal has been delayed. I have been a patient at this practice for many years, including before its current location and branding, but I am considering transferring my care elsewhere to find a service that treats patients as valued rather than burdensome. The practice is keen to implement new initiatives, yet the formal complaints process requires written submissions only. The current satisfaction rating stands at 2.2. Those in leadership positions might be expected to view this seriously, yet there appears to be little sense of urgency. The trajectory suggests further decline is likely. The standard response of directing patients to complete an assessment form with vague timescales for review is inappropriate for a general practice setting.
