Share review of Avisford Medical Group
The help you received was inconsistent depending on who was on the phone.
If seeking a resolution about something it is impossible without booking an appointment with a GP despite it being unnecessary and taking up valuable appointment times. For example, being prescribed medication by a hospital specialist but needing to see a nurse and a GP in order for this to be done and then it not being added to my repeat and then having to physically see a GP for it to be added.
Another example is that a hospital specialist advised that as a type 1 diabetic, weight loss injections would be a far more effective and less dangerous route than Bariatric surgery and that the GP will prescribe these under the local CCG guidelines (as I am diabetic) and the receptionist made it quite difficult to book an appointment as they said the surgery will not prescribe them.
Just feels there is a lack of consistency across all care and it is a waste of time and resources.
