Practice manager's dismissive attitude made things worse

Update: Following my initial review, I received a letter in the post with a somewhat defensive tone, stating that all my calls had been recorded and reviewed. I have not attended to hear this myself but have requested copies of those recordings. However, I do not believe this addresses the in-person interactions that took place, and I am concerned about calls I received advising that certain tests would not be completed prior to commencing medication. Had these interactions been properly reviewed, I would expect them to have raised concerns. This practice falls significantly short of acceptable standards. They offered to assist me in finding alternative care, as though this was a helpful gesture when I was already planning to do so, despite limited options in the local area. If you have the ability to travel elsewhere, I would strongly advise considering other practices. I am exploring what further steps might be available to me and intend to pursue this matter if possible. ….. This practice does not merit a positive rating. The practice manager displayed what I found to be exceptionally rude and unhelpful behaviour throughout my interactions. This was particularly striking given my previous experience working within the NHS. The individual seemed fundamentally unsuited to a role requiring patient care and support. The practice referred me for private assessment, but subsequently refused to provide the necessary tests required for treatment of my condition, despite requests from the assessing medical team. I found this response deeply frustrating. I have neurodevelopmental differences that make in-person appointments challenging. However, the practice refuses to address even minor concerns through remote consultation, instead insisting on attendance at walk-in clinics with extended waiting times, which I cannot feasibly access due to school commitments. If you are considering registering here, I would strongly advise against it. You would likely receive better support and understanding from alternative sources. This practice has not met my expectations for patient care.
