I was a patient for eighteen years, with chronic illnesses that the GP partners failed to diagnose until I had developed severe complications. I thought I had found a decent GP in 2012, and placed my trust in her. However, I developed severe side effects from a drug I take for pain relief, and as she refused to refer me to appropriate specialists who could help with my underlying pathology, I ended up in 2018 with her prescribing a generic medication with which I had previously had severe problems and interactions. She said she would support me, but having seen her twice with the new meds, I found I could not get an appointment for three months, and as I developed problamatic side-effects, the only support the receptionists offered was eConsult. Subsequently, I became seriously Ill, was housebound, put on five stones in weight, developed problems with walking and breathing, and have suffered from dangerous social-interaction problems. I now have a new GP, and am withdrawing from the meds, which is why I am able to go on FB to ease my isolation. But my health has seriously deteriorated and I am now in a worse physical and mental situation than in 2012.
Since Homewell merged with Curlew, there are now too many patients for the part-time GPs to cover, particularly regarding the long-term chronic care needed in the catchment area.
The last time I saw my former GP, she was in a consulting room set up like a child's nursery, wearing red-and-white polka dot nail polish, and she treated me, an adult older than she, as though I was an ignorant and recalcitrant child, only listening to what she wanted to hear, and telling me the same, wrongful things her colleague had told me in 2000-5.
If you suffer from chronic disease, do not register at this practice, although, to be fair, the GPs' acute care is excellent and the practice has a good nursing team. But Homewell's poor chronic illness support makes it a danger to those who need treatment for complex, life-long, but expensive and incurable diseases, and they only want such patients to access services on eConsult, which is often inappropriate.
