Reception staff gave dangerously incorrect medical advice

This surgery has presented numerous difficulties. I will outline the most significant concerns. My medical records from a private scan went missing on two separate occasions, which resulted in delays to my care pathway. Additionally, I was placed on a waiting list for physiotherapy several months ago and have received no further communication regarding my appointment. When I contacted the practice during a period of serious illness, I was advised to maintain my current approach and attend hospital if my condition deteriorated. However, I was also told that hospital admission might not be possible given my circumstances. I felt uncomfortable with a receptionist making assessments about whether I required medical intervention. Subsequently, I received different guidance from NHS 111, who advised immediate hospital attendance and confirmed that admission would not be refused based on my status. I regret following the initial advice, as this delayed me accessing the treatment I required. I also required documentation from my hospital test for travel purposes. I was provided with a document and assured it would serve as the necessary evidence. Unfortunately, this proved incorrect, as it was not an official NHS document. There have been multiple other instances that reflect concerns about the standard of service provided.
