Have I just been thrown out of GP Practice?

Perhaps you could train as a GP given you believe you know enough about it to make multiple complaints. People like you are the reason the good GPs are moving to the other side of the planet.

IMO the difficulty is that not all practices are like that. Mine was brilliant up to COVID but more recently the service has declined terribly. I have never thought of complaining before but beginning to realise I do need to stand up for myself when given rubbish care,
I seem to be the only one on here with sympathy for OP.

They can. What they cannot do is complain endlessly.

Such a nightmare responding to complaints in the NHS . Takes forever to complete the process .
Fair enough is the issue is major .

It is like everything you get great places and not so great. The staff at my old dental surgery were really rude but at my doctors they are really nice. They are very intolerant now though if you complain. They just chuck you out

You sound very ungrateful. Nurses and doctors are angels to me, and i’m eternally grateful and thankful for the care the nhs have given to me whether it be for antibiotics or when i had my daughter and she was in special care.

Bye then

Yes, effectively you have. A friend was in a similar position. She complained about the rudeness of her GP, and shortly received a letter saying that it would be in her best interest not to be served by that surgery because 'they can't guarantee she won't have to be allocated to that GP'. They don't investigate complaints, they just chuck people out.

I was banned from my dentist last year. I had private work done not cosmetic I needed a bridge mine was hanging out and they would not do. Lots of prep work before hand so my teeth were fine. Didn’t know that if you didn’t have a check up in a year they would not see you so I said ive got tooth ache what I am a meant to do I was a bit arsey as in pain. She said ok you are banned if your daughter need to come her dad will need bring her. Bit extreme luckily I have a dentist friend she was only doing private then but nhs now so she sees me.

"The complaint culture everywhere is mushrooming." Hmmmm ... and yet..

Surely this can’t be real ? Why would anyone want to continue attending a service that they “cannot stop complaining” about

Yes that's not what happened at my old GP. Receptionists were basically reading out patients private medical notes (including gynaecological issues) in a public/busy reception room and then bossily telling patients how to manage their conditions. I actually heard them giving incorrect medical advice - also giving wrong advice to parents of tiny babies, which shocked me the most. And the wait to see a GP was five days, even for babies and young toddlers, who are meant to be prioritised and seen same day.

I was honestly so pleased to change practice. The Google reviews had countless stories of malpractice leading to heart attacks and even deaths in some cases.

If this is true (and I have serious doubts), you’ve made several vexatious complaints against a number of staff and they’ve had enough. I suspect the staff in question have refused to have any further dealings with you.

But what are you complaining about? Is it reasonable or then you just start getting ridiculous?

Do you know how much time is wasted dealing with malicious complaints? If something is actually wrong then by all means raise it, but “I just can’t stop complaining” is not a valid reason and it’s awful behaviour. Move to a different practice, don’t complain without valid reasons, and make sure you also write an apology to the previous practice.

Have you sought help from the doctors for your Compulsive Complaining Disorder?

My GP surgery has a phone message every time you ring, and part of it advises that the reception team are trained and tasked with asking the nature of your complaint and then referring you to the most appropriate HCP. They are trained what to do in most scenarios. If no appointments are available by the time you get through they will signpost you to the next most appropriate service. This is not receptionists giving out medical advice, this is them triaging you to the most appropriate care. Which is part of their job.

Please can you give us a couple of examples ?

please I would love to hear what you have been complain about

What are you complaining about?

OP it would be helpful to know what you were complaining about, how forcefully whether you used insulting language and whether it was something the practice could take on board and fix. From their response it sounds like the practice were fed up with trivial complaints and suggested you move on somewhere else. Only you can say if tat’s true.

When you call the office, people fight over who will have to talk to you. Please take a long, hard look at if those "several" complaints were worth complaining about or you will find yourself banned from most offices. Believe me, word gets around.

Do you have serious conditions which they are not managing? Have the failed to act, forgotten important referrals? Im just really struggling to understand how one person can have submitted several written complaints about their GP. What’s going so wrong for you?

You need a fresh start probably, but you need to figure out if you were right to complain or if you were behaving badly. So, what did you complain about?

Depends on the complaint.

I almost made a formal complaint about my new practice after they made a catalogue of errors - including using receptionists to give out medical advice!!! Which was outright dangerous.

In the end, I wrote out my complaints to the practice manager and then called up and changed GPs to another practice nearby. To be honest I was desperate to get to another practice asap - the old one felt unsafe. Surely it's a great thing if the practice are crap and you're given the option to switch?
