"Poor receptionist service "

About: Streatham Park Surgery

Appointment was cancelled by surgery, as the computers were not working. Receptionist advising said they will call and give me a new one. I had to chase and make new appointment after holding for 30mins. Difficult and long periods spent on phone to get through. One receptionist said results waiting for Doctor to see them before sharing on Patient Access. After seven days called again and the different receptionist said results not yet in. When confronted that the colleague had confirmed earlier, was told Doctor will check and they will advise. Blood test was done by a good nurse. Results came in good time but over two weeks the results not checked by GP or posted on Patient Access for one to evaluate.

Thank you for your feedback. We take all feedback seriously. We have been experiencing a doubling in the volume of phone calls and a problem with staffing to answer calls. I apologise for the difficulty you are experiencing with contacting the surgery. We are looking at measures to try and improve the service. Please bear with us whilst we make the changes as it will take time and depends on staff numbers.

I have looked into the matter and would be happy to discuss the findings with you. Please contact me at the surgery.
