I have searched for an email but none so I will leave this here.
Wife messaged to present for vaccines.
Pregnant wife was told she will have Meningitis & MMR.
I knew it was probably a mistake which does happen and decided to follow her.
Got there- lovely receptionist.
However, when we got to the Nurse- Immediately she said you(me) out. I explained that I am the husband and was concerned with the vaccine they want to give her.
She almost did let me talk saying I should go out.
I insisted and told her she was pregnant- The nurse apparently was not aware of my wife's pregnancy.
She checked again and said oh okay she is 10 weeks.
I said no- that is wrong, she is 31 weeks.
She said okay then we will not give her that but flu jab and ''whooping'' vaccine.
Absolutely no apologies.
Very poor interpersonal relationship.
I mean, my wife was not sick, just pregnant.
We were never rude all through.
That was a near miss and poor patient and relative experience..
I know the Drs and some other staff there are fantastic.
I know the nurse could have had a bad morning, but this is human health and absolute caution should be taken.
I will try to contact the GP Partner personally on this as it is unacceptable.
