Practice has become dismissive about repeat prescriptions

I feel the practice has become uncaring and, in my view, has declined significantly since there have been changes in staffing. Many people I know have expressed similar concerns and are switching to other practices, so this appears to be a widespread issue rather than an isolated experience. The practice was exceptionally good for over 20 years, but the standard of care has deteriorated markedly in recent times. It seems the focus has shifted primarily towards certain preventative services, with little regard for other patient needs. I contacted the practice to request a repeat prescription for a long-term condition. Rather than issuing a prescription directly, they directed me to alternative services and an online platform. This is something I have not encountered before, and it was particularly frustrating as I had been unable to reach either of those alternative services during the preceding week. Like others in my situation, I am considering transferring to a different practice. It is disappointing, as the practice was previously excellent and provided outstanding care over more than two decades. The recent changes in staffing and management appear to have had a negative impact on the quality of service provided.
