Reception staff unhelpful with appointment availability

The clinical staff member is excellent when available and I have no complaints about their care, however the practice itself requires significant improvement. The reception team appears to overstep their remit and lack the necessary knowledge. I was informed that updating my medical records would take longer than expected, with no clear timeframe provided, despite this being a straightforward administrative task. There were also instances where the wrong medication was administered and staff had to search for information about my visit, which was concerning. The reception staff are particularly problematic—they frequently tell patients there are no available slots despite the practice appearing quiet, and seem more focused on personal matters than patient care. The practice continues to operate using outdated systems from several years ago. Patient confidentiality is not maintained, as medication information is discussed openly within earshot of other patients in the waiting area. The overall experience has been disappointing, and I would recommend seeking alternative healthcare providers if possible. The clinical staff should consider reviewing and replacing reception personnel with individuals better suited to the role, as the current standard of patient interaction is unacceptable both over the phone and in person. This has been among the poorest experiences I have had with a medical practice.
