Bad attitude from receptionist

Posted By bubba123

"Bad attitude from receptionist"

About: General practices in Greater Glasgow & Clyde

(as a carer),

Telephoned Medical Practice to get my mother's test results as I always have done, and was met with "hole picking" receptionist, asking if my mother was there, all "data protection". What part of "I am my mother's full-time carer/power of attorney" don't they get? I had to shout to my mother are you okay with me getting your results - just as well my mother isn't unable to speak. I have never had any problems calling in for my mother's results before this.

Dear bubba123


Firstly, thank you for taking the time to post feedback in relation to your recent experience. I am sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced in obtaining your mother's test results and have been left feeling annoyed.

As GP's are independent contractors, I would suggest that you contact the Practice Manager who can respond to the issues you have raised. If you don’t feel comfortable contacting the Practice Manager directly, I can forward your post on your behalf. If you would like me to do so, I would be grateful if you could email me with the name of your GP surgery. My email address is julie.craik@nhs.net

Kind regards

Julie
