Review titled Concerning
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 May 2023
They have No midwife allocation and have no interest in new pregnancy. This is my first pregnancy and I am highly concerned for my well-being (unlike the practice) I have no midwife and no antenatal care. All I received was a mobile number for a midwife who states she won’t reply to any voicemail for several days. There is absolutely no compassion or patient care. I have no idea what I will now do as I am extremely unwell with this pregnancy and no pharmacy will give me any medication without GP or midwife prescription but the receptionist said I can only see the GP for pregnancy termination options. I don’t expect my pregnancy to last unfortunately. I strongly suggest a CQC visit to this practice.

Dear patient, Thank you for your feedback. I regret I cannot answer in any detail as you have not given your details. I will therefore give a generic answer. It is correct that we do not have midwives in attendance. The local NHS protocols and pathways are that we give the details to the patient for them to contact the midwife who will then contact the patient directly. Any patient will receive the appropriate care throughout their pregnancy including antenatal care. This is arranged via the midwifery service not the practice. The midwifery service should be used to discuss any general concerns and questions about the pregnancy. If you are unwell, whether pregnancy related or not, then it would be appropriate for you to see a clinician. But unfortunately it is unclear from your comments what your issue may be, and I am unable to investigate further without your details. Should you wish me to help further you will need to contact me please clive.sillitoe@nhs.net Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. Best wishes. Clive Sillitoe Practice Manager

Dear Mr Leftwich, Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate medication shortages are frustrating but the shortages or the pharmacy are not something within the control of Bridge Road. I do not wish to discuss personal matters in detail on a public forum, that is not appropriate for confidentiality reasons. However, it appears to me that we had responded to the pharmacy after your initial query, but I cannot answer why you had further problems from them. I have been assured by the practice pharmacy technicians that your issue is now sorted. I apologise for the delay in replying as I have been on annual leave, but if you feel it has not been resolved you can email me directly on clive.sillitoe@nhs.net and I will investigate further. Best wishes. Clive Sillitoe, Practice Manager
