Terrible surgery with rude staff and poor service

I'm only awarding 1 star because there's no option for zero, which is what this place truly deserves. This medical practice used to be excellent, in my opinion, approximately 40+ years ago. However, over time, all the competent GPs and staff have departed, leaving behind employees who are utterly incompetent. The receptionists are shockingly discourteous beyond belief. I attempted to contact the surgery about my child's repeat prescription, which I've been waiting on for over two weeks. After navigating the automated system and waiting nearly an hour, the receptionist answered by asking if this was an emergency. Why would I call my GP's office during an actual emergency? I would undoubtedly dial 999 instead. As I tried explaining my situation - such as my child's urgent psoriasis/eczema condition and having run out of medication - she continuously interrupted and ultimately hung up on me. Her behavior was unprofessional and infantilizing, treating me like a misbehaving child rather than a concerned parent. I haven't visited this surgery for medical consultations in ages, and based on this experience, I'm terrified to imagine how I'd be treated if I required actual medical attention. Without question, this is the most abysmal medical practice in the HP11/12 area. Potential patients should steer clear at all costs!
