Have I just been thrown out of GP Practice?

Long story short. Transferred ( no choice) to new GP Practice when my previous Practice closed. I had been very happy there.
The new Practice was very disappointing in several ways which led me to make several written complaints about GPs, Nurses, etc. The Practice did respond in writing to these complaints.

However, my latest complaint led to me now being advised that the Practice can arrange for me to move to a different Practice. This move would not otherwise be possible due to local GP pressures.

Is this the same as being kicked out? Should I agree to move elsewhere ? Worried it might be worse!
Do you think I am being unreasonable...complaining / expecting too much?
😕

What are you complaining about?

LeroyJenkinssss · 13/05/2025 16:22

youve not been kicked out but they are happy to facilitate transfer. Why do you mind - you obviously have multiple issues with them.

You said you have made several written complaints about various practitioners which indicates you are unhappy with the level of care across the practice. If that is true then why would it be unreasonable to suggest you move to another practice? Seems reasonable to me.

If you've made that many complaints, and it's not possible to currently move but they're able to help with that, override that local policy if you like, why would you not want them to do that? Seems like it would resolve things for both parties.

I do wonder if you're in the same town as me. The locals practice are taking a hard line now on people bad mouthing them on social media etc. too

It doesn’t sound the same as being removed as usually you’d either get a letter giving you 30 days to find a new GP or an immediate removal in cases of violence
it isn’t possible to say if you’re being unreasonable as no examples but you are free to complain if you don’t feel that you have been treated correctly
It may be that they are not the right practice to meet your needs or they feel that the doctor patient relationship is beyond repair . In some small practices there may not be other clinical staff to see .

It really does depend what you’re complaining about.

Mareleine · 13/05/2025 16:17

Obviously you don't like the practice, they're now fed up of your persistent complaints, so take the move and make a note to stop complaining so much about everything at the new place. Complaints about so many different practitioners at the same practice suggest this is a you problem.

If your that unhappy with the current place to the point that have had to make several complaints why would you want to stay there ? They obviously realise that they can’t give you the service you require so it’s surely the obvious solution ?

DoNoTakeNo · 13/05/2025 16:16

Well it depends on the reasons for your complaints & how you treated the surgery staff.

legsekeven · 13/05/2025 16:16

Sounds Like it. If you have had to make so many complaints it’s probably going to be better for you

WomenInSTEM · 13/05/2025 16:16

It sounds like you'll be happier elsewhere.

craigth162 · 13/05/2025 16:16

Did the practice agree your complaints were justified?

Honestly I'd move...you obviously don't rate them

BurnTheWholeThingDown · 13/05/2025 16:16

Well that very much depends on what you are complaining about, surely?
