Reception refused to pass on urgent message to doctor
I'm giving the reception staff at this surgery 1 star. I contacted the surgery after receiving concerning results from a recent test. The receptionist declined to pass on a message to a clinician requesting a callback, despite me being visibly upset. They were unhelpful and responded with comments like "I'm not sure what you want me to do?" and "no one will be calling you to discuss any results" as there were no available appointments. I explained that the results were concerning and that I needed to speak with someone to help ease my worries. The receptionist was already aware of the nature of my concern, having previously asked me to clarify the issue when I first rang—which seemed unnecessary given they later stated no appointments were available anyway. As I became increasingly distressed, I was simply told to complete a form and that someone would contact me following the bank holiday period. The receptionist then sent me a text message containing a helpline number, which felt inappropriate given the context of our conversation. Clear improvements in staff training would be beneficial.
I experienced repeated disconnections when attempting to reach the practice by telephone, with calls being terminated before I could speak with anyone. This occurred multiple times during my..
