Reception closed check-in before appointment time
I had an extremely negative experience at the surgery today. Although it is normally only a short drive from our home, unexpected road works caused delays to our journey. We arrived at approximately 9:23 am for a 9:20 am appointment, having left home around 9:05 am. Despite our efforts to be punctual, we were unable to find parking quickly enough to check in on time. Upon arrival at reception, we were informed that check-in had closed and our appointment had been cancelled. We were advised to rebook for the following week. I was deeply upset by this situation. This appointment had taken a month to obtain, and my young toddler was unwell at the time, having only recently been discharged from hospital. I had made the journey with a recovering child, and felt the surgery showed a lack of understanding regarding our circumstances. The cancellation was particularly distressing given that my child had been hospitalised for five days, and I believed an earlier appointment might have prevented this. I was already stressed from the previous week, and this experience left me very upset. I would like to understand the process for raising concerns when patients experience delays in the waiting area after checking in. The surgery had provided a discharge letter indicating they were aware of our situation, yet the appointment was still cancelled. While the surgery claims to be busy, I question whether this is genuinely the case. I am concerned about the value of general practice services when patients frequently require hospital care instead, and I question whether resources might be better allocated elsewhere.
I have been waiting more than three weeks for a manager to contact me regarding concerns about the service my child has received. Commitments were made about timescales that were not met, with..

This practice fell significantly short of expectations, with unhelpful front desk staff and limited doctor availability when appointments were needed. I would not recommend using this service.

Attempting to contact the surgery has been quite challenging. The automated system presents numerous options that do not appear to address my needs. This has been frustrating.

It can be quite challenging to get through to see a clinician, as the reception team often acts as a barrier to accessing appointments.
