Reception gave passive aggressive messages about referrals
If I could give this place 0 stars I would. First of all, some clinicians are actually rude. One particular clinician has been seen over these last couple months for help towards a diagnosis, due to unfortunately having all the symptoms relevant to the condition being investigated. I wasn't given the diagnosis even though the NHS website states only 2 out of 3 symptoms are needed to meet diagnostic criteria. I asked for a referral which was confirmed I'd receive, then I asked for an update to be told I wouldn't get it. The clinician denied saying I would even though calls are recorded, which is now a complaint. After receiving such disappointing news I was then told by this clinician that I already have children. I don't. Not living children anyway, so this is poor on their part. I then got told I was going to get a different referral. After that news I moved practices and got a passive aggressive text saying they're cancelling the referral because I moved. Now I have to go through the process of appointments again. Where they should have put the referral through at the time and it would be transferred to my new GP. Wouldn't waste your time or mental health on this place.
I would give them the lowest possible rating if I could.

The practice appears reluctant to engage with patients who are unwell.

Absolutely disappointing, there seems little point in the practice being open when appointments are virtually impossible to obtain. No wonder the NHS is under such strain.
