"Early Pregnancy Unit (Woodlands) disgraceful..."

About: Lister Hospital / Gynaecology

Referred from gp to woodlands clinic on 24/01/2018. Greeted by the rudest,most unprofessional receptionist I have ever come across. She had a complete lack of consideration as to why people where there. Data protection/ confidentiality was non existent as my matter was loudly spread across the waiting room whilst speaking to another colleague rather than reading the letter/notes passed to her. Treated me as if I had just turned up out of the blue even though my gp had phoned first and they advised me to come down there and then. Another lady came in shortly after with the same circumstances and had been referred by gp. Receptionist managed to reduce her to tears by continuously asking irrelevant questions whilst telling her she knew nothing about her and asking why she was there, In a sensitive department like this and front face of a company as big as the NHS I don’t believe she is right for the role or may need extra training on people skills. I feel very sad to have experienced such apauling treatment and hope that others don’t have to go through the same.

Thank you for your review. We're very sorry to hear about your experience with one of our receptionists at the Woodlands clinic. We would like to find out more information from yourself, including a rough date and time of when you visited the clinic - so that our women's services team can look into this further. If you're happy to provide that information, would you mind emailing us at generalenquiries.enh-tr@nhs.net? We will of course share your feedback with senior members of the team.
