Melbourne Grove Medical Practice prescriptions


Borderlands

Recommended Posts

My opinion of Melbourne Grove Practice has never been high but it is now at an all time low, if this practice and Concordia represent the future of medicine in this area then God help us! The reception staff, with the occasional exception, are moronic and they DON"T LISTEN to what is being said to them. All I needed was a repeat prescription renewing but ended up with an appointment to see someone I had never heard of two days AFTER the renewal date of the prescription in question, nothing I said seemed to change their view that this was the solution to my situation. And the communication between the front-of-house staff and the doctor was conducted by tweets!

What I would love to know is who can this appalling standard of service be reported to? It appears any complaints have to go through an internal 'Customer Services' manager, this is plainly hopeless.

You can always contact Pals (patient advice liaison service) or if you can find the number to the PCT but having worked in a surgery for many years I came to relies nothing you say will matter as you as patients are bringing in the money every time someone walks in they see ??? signs. Sorry to be so glum but just the truth.

    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
    • I can’t remember where I read that figure but this article in the Grauniad from 2023 discusses Ocado results from 2022. The average shopping cart fell to £118 from £129 the previous year. But Ocado lost £500m that year on approximately 20 million orders (circa 400k orders per week). So, averaging out to £25 lost per order. Ocado pauses building new warehouses as annual losses balloon to £500m | Ocado | The Guardian  Obviously, the £500m loss includes various factors. But Ocado has existed for 25 years and only made a small profit in a couple of those years. The rest have been huge losses. Yet it continues to raise funds and speculation sends the share price up and down. In that respect,  it’s like the UK version of Tesla. Meanwhile, the main growth in the supermarket sector has been for Aldi and Lidl, who do not deliver.
