I get that the practice is busy but to filter through all I should need to do is share the general purpose for my need of medical attention, not have a receptionist talk down to me and gatekeep basic medical care until they have decided I am 'worthy'. They are very patronising. I do not see why I need to explain why I need to talk to a contraceptive health nurse.
I've even had them offer unsolicited advice on what I can or can't have prescription wise, after they've spent ages refusing to just book me an appointment with a nurse. It's incredibly disgusting and shaming. I share that I don't want to say more, multiple times when I have called, and they just refuse to book me an appointment as a result. So much for medical privacy.
Maybe the practice wouldn't have such long hold times on the phone if the receptionists weren't trying to pry so deeply into patients medical needs and offering advice they aren't qualified to give.
I will be looking into a way to take my complaints further about the way the receptionists here talk to people and how health care is being withheld by them until patients share far far more than they feel comfortable sharing.
Oh, and they have actual TERF stuff in the toilet. As if health care isn't already difficult enough to get with the receptionists throwing their weight around, they also want marginalised groups to feel even more unwanted and have even less access to the healthcare they require. I presume it's not the nurses I see who put that up in there given the conversations I've had with them, I would hope it's not the doctors either, both these groups provide care for patients regardless of minority status.
I have been on hold for over two hours on several occasions. I have taken hand written evidence from external practitioners to the practice myself to then be told they have no received anything. I have got so much fear for my health at the moment and I have not been able to get though to a GP in 5 months. It’s truly atrocious.
