The blood test team are super lovely and gave me a painless experience. However the walk in centre staff are quite rude. I tried to go for a simple prescription and alothough there was still an hour and a half left, they told me I had to wait and go to long George’s, that’s after waiting half an hour there. I didn’t want that as I knew that would be a longer wait and asked if I could just be seen quickly as I am a frontline worker and had terrible pain. I pleaded and they refused and said they were busy- an hour and a half until closing and there was one patient left. They said that the gp was from somewhere else and needed to go back but he called people in and I was the penultimate person- I had arrived about 8. Anyway I was sent away and left with the pain and this upsetting experience. When pleasing the other receptionist shut me down and they gave me no other options. Quite rude and should bare in mind people have other things to do than just be sent from one place to another . Do not recommend and left disappointed, upset and in pain. You have to be dying for them to see you...
