I moved into the village and decided to sign up to the local surgery. Firstly, it is not practical for anyone working mon-fri as the doctors and the attached pharmacy shut early and are shut on Saturday.
Secondly, they made a medical judgment on stopping a repeat prescription without having my notes or being aware of my medical history and they did not even know I was under a consultant. It’s been an uphill battle with the CCG since with a decision made by the nhs purely to save them money.
I found certain members of staff lacked compassion, were rude and one even had the audacity to snigger when she suggested I buy the item online at £120 a month.
If you move I advise you to think very very carefully before joining the Buckinghamshire area CCG. Do your research and if you have a clinical condition make sure you can still get your medications on prescription.
