Repeated test results ignored despite hospital concerns
I'm 39 weeks pregnant and had a negative experience with this medical practice. My test results repeatedly indicated a urinary tract infection, and I was advised that antibiotics were necessary. Although samples were sent for analysis, each time the clinician at the practice documented my sample as requiring no further action. On my online records, my samples are marked as "abnormal, no further action required," which I feel is an inadequate way to manage care for someone in late pregnancy. My hospital consultant also indicated that antibiotics were needed and sent a sample for testing, yet the practice here recorded it as not requiring treatment. This pattern continued over several weeks, and the infection progressed to my kidneys. I attended the labour ward at hospital two days ago after spending the night in severe pain, and the ward staff expressed concern that I shouldn't be experiencing such constant discomfort. When they tested my urine, they were alarmed at the level of abnormality present. I experienced chills despite being in a warm environment and had significant pain in my right kidney. I was immediately started on antibiotics, and another sample was sent for analysis by my GP practice, which again was marked as abnormal but no action required. This has occurred repeatedly over weeks. Had I received appropriate support earlier, I believe this serious infection would not have been allowed to develop into a kidney infection. I'm scheduled for induction next Wednesday and I'm feeling quite unwell. I'm disappointed with how my care was handled and concerned about whether there may be lasting damage to my kidney.

The practice does not seem to prioritise patient care, and the reception team comes across as dismissive and unapproachable.
