Reception staff showed respect when others didn't
I delayed scheduling appointments for quite some time following previous negative encounters. The receptionist I spoke with most recently demonstrated professionalism, helpfulness, empathy and expressed regret regarding the lengthy waiting period for an appointment slot. I recognise the significant pressures and resource constraints facing the NHS, and I only seek appointments when truly essential. That said, I do anticipate receiving basic respect and thoughtful attention during consultations and interactions. Unfortunately, I have had appointments with two clinicians who have not met this expectation. I have encountered some genuinely pleasant healthcare professionals in the past, though I cannot recall their specific names. It is deeply distressing to feel apprehensive about consulting with a particular clinician, and to seek assistance only to experience what felt like dismissive treatment. These two clinicians in particular appeared to prioritise arguing and making me feel judged rather than listening as I calmly and respectfully outlined my concerns. I found it difficult to express myself without being interrupted or met with visible irritation. I contacted the surgery to explain that I believed my previous assessment may have been inaccurate, and I simply wanted a fresh evaluation to ensure correct diagnosis and suitable care. I cannot convey how profoundly disheartened I felt following this recent appointment. Beyond an absence of empathy, there was a noticeable lack of courtesy and professional conduct. It is unfortunate that a small number of negative interactions have somewhat diminished my overall impression of the practice, when many other staff members provide good service.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the nursing team and staff at the practice. Their professionalism and friendly approach were greatly valued. I was seen promptly upon..

The management team could be more responsive to patient needs. It is unfortunate, as the reception staff are generally very pleasant and helpful.
