"Lack of mental health support is ridiculous"

About: Everton Road Surgery and Merseyview Walk In Centre

My husband booked a go appointment with who thought was a gp. When he got called in it was with a nurse. He explained how he was feeling and how he has been struggling again. He asked for a note to support him in work not a unfit for work note. He was told only the gp can do this (which is who he thought he was going to see) he asked to speak to gp. He was then informed he would not have appointments left, through sheer frustration he got upset and said forget it. On the way out visibly upset he asked the receptionist if he could see a gp and was told no and to call back in morning at 8am if he wanted an appointment.

This surgery is a joke, I have been trying to contact them from 16.35pm to 16.50pm and it is constantly engaged. My husband is now in such a bad place with no support and he doesnt know where to go next.

A sheer lack of unprofessionalism and lack of care for patients is clearly evident.

Dear Patient

I am very sorry to learn that you've had difficulty trying to book an appointment and have been left less than satisfied with your recent experience. Our main priority is delivering a patient-focused service and it appears that we have failed you on this occasion.

As your comment has been left anonymously I cannot confirm if you have been able to book an appointment however, if you are still having trouble trying to secure an appointment please feel free to contact me at the practice and I will do my best to rectify the situation.

Lysa Hasler

Operations Manager
