Practice lost its way with communication and listening

I have been attending this practice for approximately two decades, and I have noticed a significant decline in the quality of care provided. The clinical staff previously demonstrated thoroughness and invested time in understanding patients' concerns comprehensively. While I recognise that resource constraints have inevitably affected service delivery, my recent experience has been particularly disappointing. I have required frequent visits to the surgery at the request of the practice, yet there appears to be confusion regarding the purpose of these appointments. Administrative issues have arisen with test findings, including instances where results appear to have been mislaid, not received, or not followed up appropriately. Communication during consultations feels rushed, making it difficult to adequately convey health concerns. Securing an appointment within a reasonable timeframe has proven extremely challenging, and the overall approach lacks the empathy and understanding one might reasonably expect. However, there is one member of staff who stands out positively for their attentiveness, patience, diligence, and respectful manner. This individual demonstrates the qualities that should be characteristic of the entire team. The positive rating in this review reflects this staff member's contribution alone; without their efforts, the experience would have warranted no commendation whatsoever.
