Receptionist rushed me through my concern

I had a disappointing interaction with the reception staff. I felt they were dismissive and hurried during our conversation, which made me uncomfortable as a patient seeking care. I had concerns about a medication that was prescribed and believed there may have been an error, but when I raised this, I was directed to complete an online consultation rather than having my query escalated directly to the clinical team. I felt this was an inappropriate response given the nature of my concern, as this involved a prescription medication for treating an infection rather than a minor over-the-counter remedy, and I believe the reception team should have prioritised getting my question to the doctor immediately.

Dear Patient, Thank you for taking the time to note down your experience at Knoll Medical Practice. It’s important that patients feel empowered to feedback to their Practice as it allows us the opportunity to review our working policies to ensure that we are providing the best possible care for our patients. I am sorry to read through your experience with our reception team and can only apologise if you found them to be rude and rushing you. Our reception team work very hard, often in difficult circumstances to provide great care for all of our patients. They have to carefully balance the time they spend with each patient as there is always another patient waiting for them to become free. We generally receive positive feedback regarding our reception team. Please see some examples from our Friends and Family survey. “Friendly and helpful receptionist” “"The ladies on reception and nurse were amazing as I was running late" "Receptionist was really pleasant” Knoll Medical Practice is a total triage Practice and therefore every request for medical intervention must first go through to a GP. In our case we ask that patients complete an online triage form, or reception can complete this with patients without access to digital pathways. The reception team are carrying out their work as per instructions from the senior team, including Clinical Partners, who believe that the current model provides the best, safest and most effective care. I apologise again that you were left feeling unhappy following your experience with Knoll Medical Practice. If you wish to discuss this, or any other matter in more detail, please contact me directly via the patient feedback form on our website. Yours sincerely, Callum McQue Practice Manager
