Share review of Beversbrook Medical Centre
On several occasions when I have arrived for my appointments I have been told that the appointment is at a different surgery to the one I was advised when I booked the appointment. The first few times I thought it was my mistake, but since this continued to happen I take careful note of where the appointment is located.
At the time of booking, I double checked with the receptionist on the phone, wrote the location in my notebook and diary immediately. Once again on this occasion - at least the third time since I started being careful - I arrived and the receptionist told me a different surgery to when I booked.
I cannot be the only patient experiencing this, arriving to the appointment as instructed only to be told the computer has the appointment at a different location.
I insisted to the receptionist that I had been told the appointment was a beversbrook. She was helpful and a nurse managed to squeeze us in.
On a previous occasion I was told that if I didn't make it across town with twin toddlers in time for the original appointment it would be marked on my record as none attendance.
This continuing mistake by the surgery is stressful and inconvenient. I resent being blamed for the surgery's mistake.
I agree with other reviews that the organisation of Beversbrook has deteriorated since it joined the Platform house partnership.
