Receptionist dismissive when reporting emergency symptoms
I attended my local GP practice on a recent date with concerns about potential cardiac symptoms. The receptionist indicated they were unable to provide a diagnosis and suggested I contact the practice for a callback from a clinician. Subsequently, a clinician did call back approximately half an hour later and advised me to attend the emergency department immediately due to the seriousness of my symptoms. I made multiple visits to the practice that same day to collect sick leave documentation, only to find the paperwork was not available on each occasion. I was informed the clinician would contact me once the documents were prepared. Following several phone calls, I was eventually offered an appointment at 5:50. Due to the delays in obtaining these documents, I was unable to submit them to my employer by the required deadline, which has resulted in me not receiving sick pay for the month. I found the receptionist's manner to be dismissive and unhelpful throughout this process. The attitude displayed fell short of what I would expect in a professional healthcare setting, and I believe most workplaces would not accept such conduct from their staff. Overall, I was very dissatisfied with my experience and would not recommend this practice to others. The situation caused me considerable frustration and concern.

It was confusing having two surgeries located on the same street, each with a pharmacy attached.

Receptionists lack even the most basic of social and interpersonal skills, are rude and unwelcoming, the admin staff cannot carry out the simplest of tasks, the practice nurses are incompetent.
