Phone lines difficult, appointments hard to access

Very poor experience at this surgery. This practice was previously considered excellent but appears to have declined significantly. Contacting the surgery by telephone proves challenging, and securing an appointment is even more problematic, especially with a preferred clinician. The surgery operates primarily through telephone consultations, with the clinician determining whether an in-person visit is necessary. Despite this system, the waiting area rarely contains more than a handful of patients. There seems to be little motivation to resolve the difficulties this creates for patients, as the current arrangements appear convenient for staff, particularly those working remotely. Communication is often indirect, with clinicians preferring to contact receptionists rather than patients directly, and receptionists then contacting patients. When follow-up questions arise, receptionists must email the clinician for clarification. Repeat prescriptions frequently contain errors that require correction by both the pharmacy and patients. Overall, this has become a deeply unsatisfactory practice.
