Terrible pharmacy service that drives patients away

Service is absolutely dire nowadays! While they were excellent at Beeches Green, their move to the new town location has seen a steady decline! I cannot count the numerous occasions over the past two years where I've visited Tesco pharmacy only to find my prescription hasn't been sent through!!! I personally spoke with a receptionist and a doctor during my annual review about setting up my bi-monthly prescription like previous years, and they both assured me it would be sorted. Yet when I went to collect today, nothing was there!!! As always, they attempted to shift blame onto Tesco. Last year's annual review was conducted via phone, which was particularly frustrating considering I had suffered from Dengue fever earlier that year! Previously, I would be scheduled for an appointment with blood tests and everything. Their new online booking system is equally atrocious! Rather than a straightforward appointment booking button, you're forced to navigate through multiple clicks, with only a Follow Up appointment option visible. For individuals not comfortable with technology, it's completely unworkable. They claim to want patients using the website, yet their internal communication remains abysmal. I genuinely believe they're intentionally discouraging patients! Today, I was 10th in the phone queue and waited half an hour just to be answered! Once again, I'll need to make a special 3-mile trip to collect my medications! I've reached my limit and will definitely be changing surgeries!
