Reception staff unhelpful when requesting urgent medication review
I rang the surgery this morning because I had run out of one of my regular medications and needed to arrange a refill. I was told that a review would be required before I could obtain more. I explained to the staff member that I was completely out and required the medication urgently. They said they would pass the message along to the pharmacy. After waiting an hour, I called back to check on the progress of my request, only to be told that it had only been an hour since my initial call. I also mentioned that I was at a supermarket waiting for the tablets so I wouldn't have to make another trip out later. The staff member indicated there was nothing further they could do at that moment. I became increasingly frustrated and ended the call. However, I received a callback just five minutes later to inform me the medication was ready. When I checked my NHS account afterwards, I noticed I had been described as rude by the staff member. The entire process began at 9 in the morning and I didn't arrive home until 11.30. It felt like a considerable waste of my time.
A capable practice with pleasant and knowledgeable staff, though accessing appointments has become increasingly challenging. The telephone booking system involves lengthy waiting times in queues,..

Difficult to get in touch with, and the team was not particularly helpful when attempting to reach out. There also seem to be ongoing issues with keeping patient information up to date.

Extremely difficult to get in touch with, and when contact is made, the assistance provided falls short of expectations.
