"Really not ok"

About: James Wigg Practice

This no longer feels like a family practice it has grown way too big. I called up 5 times to try get appt for my partner with mental health deteriorating in bad way

and its untrained receptionists making decisions on if allowed any appt with a dr unable to recognise whats going on because they are not drs. All through this medication needing urgent review [ think about what happens when this dont happen) but cant happen without a dr actually seeing

Urgent appt asked for told list full

Econsult - severe mental health not allowed. Emailed and ofc nobody gets back

Ended up sectioned. Could have been avoided..

Our new triage system now allows better access and efficient care for our patients. Please do contact us directly if you are still facing such issues.

Kind regards,
