Review

 

My family have recently been treated awfully by this practice, this is due to an unhelpful and frankly unprofessional reception team. The receptionists "lost" my fathers prescription for 3 days before realising that they had not sent it to the pharmacy in the 1st place! 3days without medication, 3 days of going back and forth to various chemists which the reception team insisted it had been sent to and no apology whatsoever . If this was bad enough my father called the surgery to book a telephone consultation with the Dr and the receptionist booked him in for the next day ( a Friday ) from 9am. My father waited in all day and no call came. He called the surgery at 5pm and the receptionist said there was no record of the booking, me and my father could hear the reception team arguing with each other as to who was responsible, no one took responsibility and once again no apology for their incompetence. A booking was then made for the following Monday week, a wait of 10 days. Since then my father has been rushed to the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery for an major surgery on a blood clot on the brain!

Suggested improvements
  • I feel that my father's condition was not taken seriously enough by the reception team, that their incompetence and unprofessional behaviour contributed to the stress caused to my father, that my fathers condition could have been diagnosed much earlier if the reception team had booked the initial consultation with the Doctor. In all this time over a month my father still has not spoken to his GP. The reception team kept asking what his symptoms were and seemed to pass it off as migraine and advised him to "keep taking the painkillers". The reception team are not medical professionals, they aren't even providing a decent service as receptionists. If I could change my Doctors I would but I cant even do that. I feel that the reception team needs to be re trained in compassion, politeness, ability to accept responsibility for their mistakes, in how to take patients queries seriously and general humility.
