Staff refused to listen about prescription needs

This surgery has been a deeply frustrating experience and I would strongly recommend others to consider alternative options. The staff do not appear to engage with patient requests and are unhelpful in their approach. There are no online prescription ordering facilities available, requiring patients to telephone instead. Prescriptions are issued for varying lengths of time without clear communication, and patients are directed to ask their pharmacy about duration rather than receiving this information directly from the surgery. This inconsistency prevents the NHS app from functioning properly for prescription orders. I have repeatedly explained that the unpredictability of when prescriptions need reordering creates significant difficulties for me due to my neurodevelopmental condition. The surgery refuses to provide consistent monthly prescriptions and shows little understanding or empathy when these challenges are raised. I am concerned about how this system must affect other vulnerable patients, such as those who are older or experiencing memory difficulties from various causes. The consistent response is that prescription duration is entirely the prescriber's decision, leaving patients with no control over their own care arrangements. I submitted a formal written complaint but have received no acknowledgement or response.
