"Poor service to elderly patients"

About: Addington Road Surgery

My 92 year old mother is a patient here. There’s no proactive care - they don’t even send her a flu jab reminder. She’s been seriously ill abroad, specially flown back on oxygen, but does her GP follow up? No. Neither have they followed up on hospital admissions for broken hip, fractured pelvis, or breast cancer. And do they send her prescriptions to the chemist when requested? No. They need constant chivvying, which causes my mum huge stress, and the fear of being left without medication. I suspect the problem is more with the administration than the doctors who seem nice if she manages to see them. One recently followed up a concern diligently. But the standard of practice falls so far below my own GP practice in Thornton Heath.

We are sorry to hear of your mother's experience with the surgery. We will appreciate if you could make yourself known to the practice manager so that we can discuss this further and make it is resolved.

Kind regards
