Practice left me without medication support

I am a patient at this practice, but I am not satisfied with my experience. I feel that the care provided has been inadequate and unhelpful. I have multiple health conditions, but I have largely had to manage these myself as I have felt unsupported by the practice. I made a complaint through the appropriate channels, which I believed would be independent, but I found that the outcome favoured the practice's perspective and my concerns were not given proper consideration. I paid for my own diagnostic imaging for hip pain after initial investigations suggested a straightforward diagnosis. However, the imaging revealed additional findings that I felt warranted further discussion. When I received these results, I was not contacted to discuss them, and I felt my concerns about the severity of my symptoms were not taken seriously at the time. I have had to pursue my own follow-up care. Regarding my medication, I arranged with my pharmacy for them to request my prescriptions monthly on my behalf, which I thought would be helpful. This arrangement was agreed to in early autumn, and I received my medication that month. However, when I visited the pharmacy recently, I was informed that the practice had only authorised one month of requests rather than the ongoing arrangement I had requested. As a result, I am now without my medication. I am also due for a routine medication review around this time, but I have not been contacted about this or offered an appointment, despite requesting that the practice contact me before my medication supply runs out. This happened previously, and I had raised this concern before. I feel that this practice is not providing safe or appropriate care. I have been asked to leave a review on several occasions, and I am providing this honest account of my experience with how this practice operates.
