Reception staff dismissive when registering as new patients

We visited this surgery to complete registration paperwork as prospective new patients. The person at reception came across as dismissive and abrupt, which made the experience feel unwelcoming. The overall atmosphere of the facility did not feel inviting either. When asked to provide identification, we had no issue with this requirement until being informed that every family member would need to present their own ID. My son has additional needs and has been shielding for an extended period. The receptionist did not appear sympathetic to this situation. This particular request is not a standard clinical requirement. This approach does not seem conducive to attracting new patients, and it is worth remembering that patient numbers directly impact the practice's sustainability. Due to this experience, we have decided to register elsewhere. This was a significant misstep. I found this approach disappointing, particularly given the local connection. I would not recommend this practice.

Thank you for your comment, Im sorry that you did not get a good first impression of the practice. It is however a requirement that we see ID from all members of a family with them present so we can verify their details, we should be mindful though that if a patient is shielding this may not be possible. We are currently undergoing major structural work to enhance the current practice so it is very much a building site and perhaps not particularly welcoming. We are looking forward to a more modern, enhanced facility in the not too distant future.
