Terrible medical service left me without vital medication

I've been a patient at this surgery for over a decade, and Coral & Trevor, along with the doctors and nurses, have always been excellent. However, after moving house, I was informed about a potential six-week transitional period. Being unwell and away, I hadn't yet registered with the new practice. On the ninth day of this period, I discovered I couldn't access my patient portal to obtain crucial prescriptions for my Bipolar medication and Asthma inhaler - medications I absolutely cannot be without. When I called, the receptionist coldly informed me that Victoria Road was no longer my GP and essentially dismissed my concerns, showing no willingness to help. I spent the afternoon trying to reach my psychiatrist's secretary, who was equally shocked that I'd been left without a way to obtain my medication. I've had to call 101 to arrange an emergency asthma inhaler prescription, as I won't be able to register in time to get a standard one. It's utterly unacceptable to leave a patient without access to vital medications. Additionally, I strongly advise against having staff interact with patients they know personally, as it creates an awkward and unprofessional environment for everyone involved. What a disappointing way to end our long-standing relationship.
