"Requesting a visitors appointment for emergency..."

About: Portland Medical Practice

Extremely disappointed by the mis-information provided by the reception staff who seemed to have no understanding of procedures and, in the event, after a round trip to the local hospital to waste further NHS time, based on this mis-information, ended up next door at the pharmacy, which provided the solution..

It was very frustrating to discover later that when advised they were following procedure, it was a falsehood and it was simply they were short staffed and not willing to help.

I would take the staff to task about the way I was treated except I am they would claim I was disrespecting them and point me at the abusive sign.

They offer no way to talk to them about an issue. And I could cope with this situation as I am not suffering with any lack of confidence - how do people cope if they have mental health issues to deal with on top of this?

Thank you for taking the time to leave the practice a comment.

I'm sorry your experience was unsatisfactory. I will liaise with the reception team to understand the circumstances.
