About: The Glebe Family Practice

I switched GP start of 2020 because for the past two years at Christmas my old GP played silly games refusing to give me my blood pressure, diabetes and other medication leading to the need to use the walk in doctor services.

Joined this practice in February and everything was well, then came Christmas and it's the same thing, a third Christmas without my tablets.

I phoned them and was told we don't accept over the phone requests for medication, and to put in a request in writing. I live in the me7 postal area and the royal mail are currently having problems maintaining the postal service due to sickness, you would think they would know this Covid19 being in the news morning, noon and night.

They set up the EPS when I registered with this practice, so there you have it, two doctors over three years having fun at Christmas making me run around trying to get blood pressure, diabetes, and antidepressants medication. Well I've got news for them I'm not going to run around begging for medication. As for the government asking people to stay away from doctors surgery, well done I've finally got the message into my thick skull.

Footnote this post does not break any of the nhs rules on reviews.

Merry Christmas and a carry on Covid19 new year.
