Reception staff were kind but felt unheard clinically

The reception team are friendly and welcoming, however I had a disappointing experience with one of the clinicians. As someone with mental health concerns, I felt unsupported during my consultations. During a recent appointment, the clinician suggested my symptoms didn't align with what they expected, despite being aware of my personal circumstances. When I raised a formal concern about this interaction, I was informed by management that they saw no issue with how the matter was handled. I questioned whether a proper assessment of mental health can be made during a phone consultation. Additionally, I was refused a medication renewal that I was dependent on, and subsequently received notice of removal from the practice list. I am relieved to have moved to a different surgery where I feel my mental health needs are better understood and supported. I believe this clinician would benefit from further training in mental health awareness and patient support.
