Reception lost prescription and showed no concern

I had a disappointing experience at my local surgery. I attended to request a medication adjustment for a family member and was advised to return the following day after 2 p.m. to collect the updated prescription. Upon arrival at the requested time, the team were unaware of the request and asked me to return at 5 p.m. instead. When I returned at 5 p.m., I was informed that the prescription had not been prepared and appeared to have been mislaid. This level of disorganisation regarding medication is concerning, given how vital such matters are to patient care. Additionally, I found the manner of the staff throughout this experience to be unhelpful and dismissive. There appeared to be little acknowledgement of the inconvenience or worry this caused, and I felt that patient needs were not prioritised. The overall lack of coordination, clarity in communication, and professionalism from the team was disappointing. Patients depend on healthcare services to deliver both competence and attentiveness, and in this instance, the surgery fell short in these areas. Improvements are needed in staff conduct and in the systems used to manage patient prescriptions.
