Reception staff attitude made things worse

The reception team could benefit from additional training in customer service and communication approaches. Due to pandemic restrictions, in-person visits were not available, so contact had to be made by telephone. The initial consultation process involved multiple phone calls over several weeks, with advice to wait and call back if symptoms persisted. After a follow-up call some time later, the situation had not improved. A further attempt to reach the practice resulted in a recommendation to contact the out-of-hours service, who then liaised with the surgery and suggested an urgent appointment was needed. This led to another telephone consultation being arranged for a few days later, during which the clinician advised that blood tests and other investigations were necessary. These tests were felt to be overdue based on the timeline of the illness. When expressing dissatisfaction with the service, the reception staff suggested transferring to a different practice, which was taken as a suggestion to do so. This interaction marked the end of the patient relationship with this surgery.
