Promised mental health support but received no contact
To be frank, there is minimal care and consideration shown to patients. I have been registered with this practice since childhood, and when significant mental health difficulties recently emerged, including serious self-harm concerns, I was promised support and assistance. However, weeks have passed with absolutely no contact whatsoever. Despite phoning on multiple occasions to follow up, I was repeatedly assured that calls would be made on specific dates, yet nothing materialised. This situation has prompted me to make a decision that I hope will benefit my wellbeing, as I cannot continue waiting for support that does not appear to be forthcoming. I will be pursuing help through private means to support my own recovery and progress. Whilst the practice claims to have a mental health service, my experience suggests otherwise. The situation is quite clear to me now: the clinical staff appear to function primarily as medication dispensers rather than healthcare providers. I am deeply disappointed with the service received throughout my time with the NHS, particularly at this practice level. I do not make these comments lightly. This represents years of requesting help only to be let down repeatedly. I would strongly advise anyone considering joining this practice who has mental health concerns to explore alternative options elsewhere. It is surprising that the practice continues to operate. The broader NHS system has been a significant disappointment. The approach of waiting until individuals reach crisis point before offering support is fundamentally flawed. I recently received notification of an 87-day waiting period for therapy, during which I have experienced multiple serious incidents. The wait has been considerably longer than this, with consistent lack of provision. The practice does not merit continued operation, as the care provided consistently worsens situations through sheer lack of attention and consideration. I have been advised by other NHS professionals to lodge a formal complaint regarding the standard of care and duty of practice. This feedback alone indicates serious failings. I intend to follow this guidance and submit a formal report. My primary concern is preventing others from experiencing the same circumstances, as the situation is fundamentally unjust.
This practice has deteriorated significantly. I have been attending for a considerable time but am now considering transferring elsewhere. Although I'm uncertain whether other surgeries offer..

The role of administrative staff in making clinical decisions rather than qualified medical professionals is something I find frustrating and inappropriate.
