A bit too much going over old ground at Yeadon

"A bit too much going over old ground at Yeadon"

About: Yeadon Health Centre / Primary care mental health

(as the patient),

The best bits about Yeadon Health Centre are the clean building and facilities. The staff are attentive (though perhaps particularly so as this patient survey was taking place).

I have been here on previous occasions and have been ignored by reception staff. The worst bits are the appointments start 15 minutes late.

The health practitioner had not taken time to read my notes and familiarise herself with my history so 10 minutes of a 30 minute session was spent going over old ground. After waiting more than six months for this appointment I found this lack of preparation and care annoying.

I think the health practitioners should be prepared for patient appointments. This is what should change.
