"No support for infant"

About: Lordswood House Group Medical Practice

In my 40 years on this earth, I have never had such bad support as I've had at this GP practice. All of my children have food allergies, so when the newborn displayed symptoms I took him to the GP immediately.

I was told there "aren't enough symptoms" & that I should continue to feed him the food that was making him ill.

Of course I wasn't going to do this, so we have have had to spend hundreds of pounds to see Drs privately to confirm the issues - the GP still ignores the diagnosis from a private paediatrician & ignores my request for the correct formula for my infant (unfortunately I am unable to breastfeed due to surgery).

Disgusting to deny a baby the right food!!

In addition, when my son present with eczema, I was told to give him antibiotics for it & the GP ignored the actual reason for his eczema - food allergy!

I am not an idiot & have two other children with food allergies so it's clearly in our genes.

The GP's I've seen ignored NICE guidelines & didn't even refer to a specialist or a dietician.

We, as a family, have been hugely let down.

Our usual Dr is amazing but she's been on extended leave.

The reception staff are not very friendly either.
