Repeated booking errors and lost prescriptions left unresolved

I found my experience with this practice to be deeply unsatisfactory. There appeared to be a lack of empathy towards patients and significant organisational difficulties. My first appointment was supposed to be conducted in person, though I had previously flagged concerns about poor phone signal in my area, yet this wasn't communicated clearly. A second appointment was subsequently cancelled without explanation or prior warning, and both had been arranged with the wrong clinician due to incorrect information provided. Return calls were not forthcoming. Prescriptions went missing and were not processed. When issues were raised, the management response seemed to focus on deflecting responsibility rather than taking ownership. Even when problems appeared to be resolved, they recurred shortly after—for instance, after a missing prescription was supposedly addressed, a relative's prescription still wasn't ready despite four days' notice being given. The pharmacy's three-day turnaround also seemed unnecessarily lengthy compared to other services. While an apology was eventually offered for the accumulated difficulties over several weeks, it felt somewhat hollow given the consistent pattern of blame directed elsewhere rather than genuine accountability. I would prefer to have other options available to me.
