Reception dismissed urgent baby health concern over phone

My husband contacted the practice regarding concerns about our newborn's umbilical area, which was not healing as expected. During the night, we noticed discharge and bleeding from the site. When we called to report this, the healthcare professional indicated this was outside their scope and declined to examine our child. We felt this response was inappropriate and concerning, particularly given the potential risks involved. It seems inconsistent that parents are often held responsible for complications when medical professionals are unwilling to assess symptoms that may require clinical attention.

Dear Catalina, I am at a loss as to your negative comments above given that you baby was seen and treated on the same day that you called. I note you also failed to attend a follow up appointment. We will endeverour to better meet your expectations next time but we also need to be mindful of the impact a negative review can have on our hardworking staff and the immense pressure general practice and the NHS is under at the moment. May I also remind you that we have a zero tolerance to verbal abuse such as shouting, we will not accept patients who demonstrate these behaviours. Lawson Road Surgery
