"A disgrace "

About: Dr Jude's Practice - Riverside

I called the surgery this morning 08:00 I got through to the Practice only to be disconnected 4 times, I kept calling back and now engaged, I've rang that awful surgery now 68 times, still engaged.. Previous comments show, your phone system is a disgrace but you've done nothing about it get more staff answering your morning calls, I've worked in different surgeries for over 10 years but never, have I ever come across a surgery so poorly managed and that goes for referrals too, my referrals for different clinics have all been poorly managed, not only do I have to check weeks later if my referral has been done to find it hadn't, 3 in all, ECG, Physiotherapy and Brain scan I found when they had been done 2 of them ECG and physiotherapy had gone to the wrong clinic, thus making my clinic appointments months ahead. Absolutely appalling Practice, get more staff or shut I down

Thank you for your comments and feedback regarding the phone system and our referral management.

It was good to speak to you today and for you to explain the issues and concerns that you have - it's really important that we use constructive feedback to analyse how well the practice is performing to ensure we can meet the needs of our patients. Following your feedback, we will be reviewing the phone system and our referral policy with a view to improving both of these systems for our patients. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these issues.

Kind regards

Victoria Clarke, Supervisor
