Reception failed to notify about cancelled appointment
How can anyone have confidence in this practice? There appear to be significant concerns regarding administrative processes and overall management, with the reception staff seeming poorly informed. This represented another disappointing visit. I arrived several minutes ahead of my scheduled appointment, registered using the digital system, and waited in the reception area. Fifteen minutes past my appointment time, and mindful of previous occasions when appointments had been missed, I approached a receptionist who reassured me that I would be seen and encouraged me to wait. After sitting for a further fifteen minutes, someone called my name only to inform me that the clinician I was scheduled to see had a planned hospital appointment and would be unavailable. The practice stated they had attempted to contact me but were unsuccessful. I had received no notification of the cancellation—no call, no text message, and no information upon arrival, nor was any offered when I inquired after the initial fifteen-minute wait. They proposed rescheduling, but given the circumstances, I felt uncertain whether the same situation might recur. The apologies provided seemed insufficient, and there was no attempt to verify which contact details they held, investigate what had gone wrong, or discuss how similar situations could be prevented in future. As this has occurred on multiple occasions for both myself and my family members, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the practice is experiencing significant organisational difficulties.
I have regretted switching to this practice. While I am currently expecting, I have found that there appears to be a lack of coordination between the maternity team and the surgery, despite them..

Insufficient resources do not justify the lack of efficiency and discourteous treatment experienced at this practice. Deeply disappointing.

The practice has not been particularly helpful with my concerns. I have found that searching online for information has been more useful than the support provided during my visits.
