Phone lines impossible to get through on
I am extremely dissatisfied with this practice. I had hoped that the consolidation with multiple other practices would result in improvements, but unfortunately this has not been the case. Attempting to contact the surgery by telephone is incredibly frustrating, often requiring numerous calls over extended periods, only to be informed that no appointments are available. For those of us with online booking capabilities, the appointment system presents significant difficulties. The online portal closes at certain times and directs users to try again during different hours, creating a confusing cycle where access is repeatedly denied depending on the time of day. Staff members, once you manage to reach them, continue to direct patients toward the online system despite acknowledging its limitations. During a recent visit with my child, I requested copies of the consultation notes to provide to their school as documentation for an absence. Rather than supplying these notes, I was informed that a formal letter would need to be requested at a cost of £30, with a potential waiting period of up to 40 days. This seems unreasonable given that the documentation is needed for educational purposes, not for leisure.
