"Double Standards"

About: Dr NW Osborne's Practice

New telephone system with an extremely long message detailing, amongst other things, respect towards the staff. This doesn't seem to be the practice when staff are speaking to patients....well one particular member of reception staff who is very rude, abrupt and always seems to sound like the patient calling is an inconvenience in her day. This is an opinion shared with many patients some who have been in tears after a phone call through sheer frustration. It is appreciated that Covid has brought many changed working conditions and new stresses but there are still may worried patients that surely deserve the same levels of respect that the practice staff demand?

Dear Patient

I am sorry to learn of your experience. I would like to investigate this matter further as all our telephone calls are now recorded, so would be grateful if you could contact me directly at the surgery.

Practice Manager
