Unprofessional & Poor Communication
To begin with, unless you call at 8am you will not get an appointment. They frequently have only one doctor working which I consider to be a form of fraud given they are required to make a minimum number of appointments available relative to the number of patients registered. Today they announce that when you call for an appointment you will be send a link to fill in an online form detailing why you want an appointment. Then, a minimum wage numpty will pass judgement as to your right to see a doctor that day. When I’m unwell the last thing I want to do is to jump through pointless hoops, form filling, answering questions especially when the sole purpose of this is to further reduce demand for appointments for the benefit of a doctors surgery whose only motivation is making a profit. The administration and management of High Street surgery is woefully inadequate and incompetent to point that it may well kill you. I’ve been given prescription medication intended for other patients, I’ve had vital diabetes medication intended for me withheld without contact, explanation or reason. For some reason they close on a Thursday afternoon and think that in this day and age that’s acceptable because “that’s what we’ve always done” oh and they don’t answer phones at all on Wednesday afternoons. Absolute joke of a doctors surgery and has been every since it became part of MMP
