"About as useless as useless gets."

About: Budshead Medical Practice

Prior to Covid saw my doctor regularly, probably something to do with having a Stroke and receiving standard care. Since Covid 2019 I have only been to the clinic for a yearly blood test.

I have had to resort to using the chemist for the flue jab as will quite easily go without if rely on this surgery.

Recently was refused a perscription of Iron tablets due to a surgery mistake when their system was down and a new system was being setup. I received an unsheduled perscription of iron tablets. Due to taking longer to use them a repeat was refused, requiring a blood test to prove. By which time my iron levels were getting critical (dizziness, fatigue the usual culprits of low blood levels or low iron) found could buy them online. After the test the clinic panicked and resumed the perscription.

I was this year given an email address to use for repeats, have just now found that address is now no longer functioning. No email to confirm this, no new email adress forwarded. No information about what I should do next. Quite honestly if I curled up and died only then do I think they would be happy. Am 61 working hard in a min wage job, I dont have time to doss around pop to the clinic as and when the time suits me. Due to my Stroke I often forget about everything and with a doctor as poor as this one it does me no favours.
