Practice ignores phone calls and dismisses concerns

I have had a very negative experience with this practice. I felt treated poorly and heard comments that were hurtful and disrespectful. The staff have been rude on multiple occasions and made me feel like I cause problems. There are ongoing issues with prescription timing - the stated timeframe means my carers need to arrange collection several working days in advance to ensure my medications arrive when needed, but there have been problems with acceptance that have resulted in additional costs. When I have raised concerns about this, I have been told that if I am unhappy I should go elsewhere. I also had a concerning experience when I contacted the practice after potential exposure to illness and asked whether I should cancel my appointment. I received a message stating that I had cancelled, and was warned that further cancellations would affect my medication access, which left me uncertain about whether I should have contacted them at all. There also seems to be confusion among some staff about how appointment scheduling and timeframes work. I have experienced serious health events including fainting and seizures, yet feel that if I call for emergency support I would face consequences. That said, not all staff members have treated me this way - I have had positive interactions with some clinical staff and reception staff. However, I would advise anyone experiencing mental health difficulties to consider changing practices if possible, as I have concerns about confidentiality and how patient information is handled outside of appointments.
