Iridium Medical Practice

Mum in heartland care home. Numerous calls to gps stating my mum was stressed in care home after my dad passing in June. We couldn’t visit. They’d been married 57 years. The queen is lost without her prince, her family can be there for her. Why couldn’t l be there for my mum. For her then to go downhill so stressed diabetes reading sky high. Clearly had an infection, but dr altering her diabetes meds. Reviewing her this went on for weeks. Mum was getting worse. She was on long term antibiotics for water infections. Was bleeding. I wasn’t fully informed until l noticed deterioration in mum care home and gp told me very little, only me noticing her decline. To calling gp numerous times. Then 12 October mum couldn’t breathe, ambulance took here to heartland A&E. The hospital called us in she was end of life. Sepsis. Readings of the scale. My point is gp & care home didn’t act quick enough. I could see my mum was rotting.

Asked for a Doctors appointment was sent to pyhsio without telling me and had to call again for a doctors appointment I missed a call and was threatened that if I miss my call again I would not get an appointment! I got really anxious about it and forgot I went to the toilet forgot my phone and missed my appointment, what are we supposed to do, I can't wait by my phone all day, i may get a call, the network may not respond.

The reception who are not medics are asking personal question and acting as a barrier ,what has happened to doctor patient confidentially ?

I'm trying again in the Q wish me luck?

Once the nhs covid remodeling identified me as on extremely clinically vulnerable the GP quickly scheduled my appointment and have scheduled my second appointment

They have continued to provide excellent diabetic and obesity support.

All good

Excellent service

It was a friendly service and I was treated well, the nurse was very friendly and gentle and informed me of possible side effects

Poor. It is very difficult to get an appointment, even harder to get a diagnostic referral when the Dr's dont know what to do next. Also the staff who answer the phone lines can come across as extremaly short and rude. Getting a repeat prescription is done by email but you get no confirmation or notice from the GP to acknowledge the prescription is signed and sent to my local pharmacy. Thankfully my local pharmacy texts me when they receive the prescription now thankfully they are more reliable.

I have suffered with osteoarthritis for many years and was left to just get on with it. This practice has gone out of its way to improve my quality of life can thank them enough

Vetted by the reception team. Then a GP Telephone consultation with a prescription put through to my local chemist.
