Reception staff were dismissive and unhelpful with requests
I requested a medical certificate for documentation purposes and was informed this could not be provided. I then asked for my medical records summary, and was told I could collect this in person. Upon visiting the practice, where I have been a patient for many years, I found the reception area busy with staff conversation. However, I had a negative interaction with one of the receptionists regarding a straightforward request. The staff member appeared frustrated at having to assist me with what should have been a quick task, and displayed what I felt was a lack of courtesy. I found this experience disappointing given that these staff members are part of the NHS service. In a follow-up visit, my experience was mixed. One receptionist was particularly helpful and supportive, taking time to review my records and advising me appropriately about next steps following a pharmacy visit. However, another receptionist was less helpful when I enquired about my medication, responding that this was outside their area of knowledge. I feel that the quality of reception staff interactions significantly impacts the patient experience and the reputation of the practice. The inconsistency in service and the attitude of some staff members has left me concerned about the standard of support available to patients at this practice.

This practice has been very disappointing. The reception staff seem to overstep their role. I've struggled to book appointments for my family members. The telephone system is particularly frustrating.
