"I can honestly say that I feel failed as a patient"

About: Modality Lewisham PCN

(as the patient),

Ever since Modality changed the working practice at my GP practice, I can honestly say that I feel failed as a patient.

The form that we are asked to fill in for our surgery (before we are triaged) is bonkers. A lot of the time it doesn't even cover the part of the body affected e.g. the GP surgery asked me to book an appointment through the form to discuss blood tests results, and there was no obvious way to do it. So what do you do?

Secondly the form is only available from 8am-12pm & 2-4pm - So during everyone else's working hours. Then today, when I went to complete the form at just before 3pm...unavailable again until tomorrow morning. Why? Who knows?

I spoke with someone at the surgery yesterday. They failed to answer my concerns about the stupidity of the form (I have been in my GP surgery and heard 2 other people complaining about the form as well). On top of that, I was not impressed with how I was dealt with.

It was hard enough to get a GP appointment, now they are making it even harder. It's no wonder that patients just turn up at A&E.
