Wasn't told who'd be seeing me at appointments

I don't usually submit reviews, but I felt compelled to do so on this occasion. The practice has recently brought on a clinical practitioner who is conducting telephone assessments and treating patients with various presenting complaints. I was not made aware of this clinician's role and qualifications prior to at least one consultation. Clinical practitioners typically complete shorter training programmes compared to fully qualified medical doctors, and their regulatory status differs from that of doctors registered with statutory bodies. When patients contact the surgery expecting to see a fully qualified doctor and are not informed about the clinician's background and qualifications, this raises concerns about transparency in patient care. Due to these concerns, I decided to register with a different practice. Additionally, when I transferred my care, an important appointment with a healthcare professional was cancelled without prior notification to me.
