Surgery failed to call for scheduled appointment

I would rate this practice far below acceptable standards. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated by my experience at this surgery. The practice has made my medication conditional on completing a review appointment. I scheduled a telephone consultation and waited with my phone ready, but no call came through. When I followed up, I was informed that I had missed previous review appointments, despite never being notified that these appointments had been arranged. This has left me in a difficult position, as I have already needed to obtain an emergency supply of my regular medication over a recent weekend. The practice has advised me to ring in the morning to book an appointment at a time that suits me, which I find unacceptable given that this is medication I require on a daily basis. I waited by my phone for an extended period without receiving any contact. It appears the practice is willing to allow patients to go without essential medication, and there is a discrepancy regarding whether these appointments were actually scheduled, as I received no call or notification. This is the poorest service I have experienced from any medical practice. I intend to lodge a formal complaint about this matter, as I believe it raises concerns about patient care and safety more broadly.
