"Terrible service so far"

About: Harbour View Healthcare

I had to register with this practice and they did not have my notes yet from my previous practice when I needed new inhalers prescribed. I had to wait over week for a telephone consultation with a nurse and went through my usual medications with her. These were then prescribed incorrectly. I called taking an hour to get through to correct this and explained the situation they prescribed the wrong thing again, exactly the same wrong prescription. Why would I need more of the wrong inhalers .....

I have spent over an hour trying to call today to sort this and 4 times i the phone has been picked up as I heard the back ground noise and put down, so essentially hanging up on patients !

I have currently been left with no medication for my asthma even after explaining that the last time this happened I ended up in hospital.

I know everyone’s busy right now but no one should be hanging up on patients. I should know as I am a registered nurse !

I am sorry that you have had this experience. I have picked up your email and I will be calling you to see if we can get this corrected for you. Regarding the phones I am sorry that this happened I will check with receptionist, sometime when the phones are so busy it will cut off as there are not enough lines. We are working to resolve this and will be getting a new phone system in the next couple of months. Practice Manager
