Reception staff lack empathy and communication skills

The reception staff at this practice fell significantly short of expectations. Their manner of speaking came across as dismissive and unhelpful. When contacting the practice during times of distress, callers were directed to ring back the following morning at 8am, though subsequent attempts to reach the practice at that time went unanswered. The interactions lacked warmth and understanding. Communication proved to be a consistent issue throughout my experience. Following a telephone consultation, I was advised to call back and leave a message for the clinician. Upon doing so, the receptionist declined to take the message, stating that the clinician had already spoken with me that day and was busy. When questioned about whether the message would be passed on, this was not clearly addressed. The overall standard of customer service and communication skills demonstrated was disappointing, with staff appearing uncertain and disorganised in their approach to handling patient enquiries.
