Last year I experienced an issue with my vision and was informed that a referral had been sent to the eye hospital. However, when I followed up with the hospital directly, they indicated they had no record of receiving it. More recently, I was expecting a medication delivery through my pharmacy service but it failed to arrive. When I contacted the surgery to enquire about the delay, I was told that I had placed the order prematurely, though I had not been made aware of any such restriction. This left me without my prescribed medication for my back condition. I visited the surgery in person yesterday and was told they would process the request while I was there. I subsequently contacted the pharmacy and learned they still had not received anything. My attempts to call the surgery afterwards were unsuccessful as the line was unavailable. Overall, I found the level of service and communication to be quite disappointing.
I have been attending this practice for five decades and whilst there have been numerous changes over the years, one constant has been the willingness of the team to go the extra mile to assist..
