Review titled Brusque and unprofessional
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Susan Martin - Posted on 18 May 2024
I had an appointment for a blood test at fareham community hospital on 15 May. I arrived early but had forgotten my form so was sent away. The attitude of the health professional I saw was very brusque, she seemed angry that I was there at all and told me that the fareham community hospital clinic is not for gp referrals. It was entirely my fault that I had forgotten my form, and I re-booked an appointment for Friday 17 May. I saw the same health professional and his time I was greeted with an accusation that I had failed to attend my appointment on 15 May and, once again, that gp referrals were not wanted at the clinic. If this is the case why was I advised to arrange my blood test at the clinic? My surgery was unable to do it until June and the test was urgent. The health professional (whose name I don't know), also told me what a tight schedule she was on and how she had to answer to someone above her. Her attitude throughout both appointments was unfriendly and unwelcoming, she seemed resentful that she had to be there at all. I was really surprised to come across such an unprofessional attitude and found the whole experience upsetting. The patients who attend the clinic are often poorly and going through difficult health challenges and they last thing we need is to be met with such this kind of attitude. A friendly smile costs nothing and takes less time than a tirade of moans and complaints.
