"Very unhelpful "

About: Studholme Medical Centre

I found it extremely difficult to book an appointment. I was given an appointment four weeks later for a telephone appointment, which isn’t acceptable as I needed a face-to-face appointment with a GP but the receptionist said they don’t offer face-to-face appointments. I needed to be examined and was then told it would take another 2 weeks for a face-to-face appointment. During that time I became unwell with sepsis and kidney failure and was admitted to hospital for emergency treatment.

I am disappointed at Studholme - they should be offering patients timely face-to-face appointments and they don’t, which is causing harm to patients. The manager is very unhelpful and seems to take no responsibility and he has absolutely no insight into how serious Studholme’s failings are.

Thank you for your review.

We have received and replied to your complaint letter and we are aware that you have had problems in getting the hospital to see you and to support your health care despite our teams best efforts in referring you and chasing such referrals above and beyond their role as GP's
