"The worst practice ever "

About: Priory Gate Practice

This is the worst practice I have ever been to. I'm pregnant and I was prescribed medication because I was extremely sick and vomiting up constantly. My medication was about to run out when I tried to order a new prescription in patient access but this practice doesn’t t work with this app. Then few days I tried to contact them through the "prescription" menu but I get an automated reply that they are too busy to try again later. I called to the reception to ask how the hell I was supposed to get my meds. They told me I have to go there in person just to fill out some stupid form that no one knows when it will be seen and wait for a response from them. I had to go there and wait on the queue among all the sick people all around me. I filled out a form and an unfriendly and rude woman at the reception told me that they would contact me in 48 hours and that I should have gone earlier since my medication ran out. Nowhere on their stupid website does it say that you have to go there and fill out a form, but there is a number to call which number doesn’t work. In 2022, forcing people to personally go to a practice to fill out some stupid sheet is madness and very very stupid.

You also have to pay for parking just to fill out the stupid form!

Now 4 days later I still haven't received any response or my prescription. I also tried to leave a review on their Google page but it is not possible… They are absolutely primitive people not doctors!

Dear Natalie

I am sorry to read that you have had some difficulty with Priory Gate Practice. Medication can be ordered in one of three ways - by contacting the POD service on telephone 02476 246072, by ordering through your NHS App or other on-line means or by completing a request from at the practice. We are happy to help updating your on-line method of ordering if this has caused you some difficulty. The POD service is usually extremely busy on Monday mornings so it might be worth avoiding these times if possible.

We recommend patients should order their medication at least 48 hours before it is due to run out.

We have been unable to identify you from your first name however please contact me on either 02475 261333 or sent me an email to priory.gate@nhs.net to enable me to investigate your concerns.

Regards

Glenn Walker

Practice Manager
