Phone lines down, referrals delayed, left without support
This has been the most disappointing GP surgery experience I have had, and I intend to lodge a formal complaint. Since relocating to the area in August, I have required ongoing management of a long-term health condition that demands regular monitoring. Despite receiving comprehensive previous records from my former practice and hospital, it took several months before I was referred to a specialist in the area. I am currently taking a specialist medication that very few patients locally are prescribed, yet I have felt unsupported throughout. The surgery has been difficult to reach by phone, and they declined to backdate a sick note for a few days despite my circumstances—I had made multiple hospital visits and was unable to attend the surgery in person due to mobility difficulties and adverse weather conditions. During a recent visit for an ear issue that had persisted for over a week, I felt the clinical approach lacked consideration for my situation. I was subsequently admitted to hospital for several hours where multiple specialists assessed me and ultimately resolved the problem. Each of these specialists indicated that I should have been referred on the day of my initial surgery visit. I attempted to contact the surgery multiple times and was later informed that there had been a telephone system issue. This experience has been deeply frustrating.
Excellent healthcare professionals.

This practice has not met my expectations. I found the staff unhelpful and felt that they were unwilling to provide adequate assistance when I needed support.

Would rate lower if possible regarding the appointment scheduling process. The lack of accessible timely guidance means many patients feel compelled to seek emergency department care instead.
