I also had a bad experience with them 2 years ago. I saw a doctor a few times for my eczema but it didn't help at all. When I asked for a referral to a dermatologist, this doctor referred me to another GP who has a special interest in dermatology in a very far village. I have never felt any "patient-centric" care from this surgery!
Maybe the practice should look at what they are doing wrong as service providers instead of automatically blaming their customers for missed telephone appointments? Understaffing or excessive volume of work (which they contribute towards with their own actions) are not a valid justification not to, as this is to do with culture and mindset. Culture and mindset need to change if NHS is to stay relevant.
I have found it more difficult to get an appointment than before, you do have to wait and that is frustrating if you are working. But if you have a real emergency, they will do their best to accommodate you and get you seen at short notice.
After reading a couple of reviews here, I think people seem to believe the pandemic is all over and things should return to normal. They do not realise that there is no short swift readjustment to how things were.
