Massive issues with the administration team

The medical staff are lovely and I have no complaint about them.

I had an appointment booked for an Oesophageal Manometry on Thursday 13th August 2026 at 2pm. I realised on the morning of the appointment that it was going to be 38Degrees centigrade, and I was concerned for my safety going out in that heat.
• I rang the “urgent” telephone number at 9.10 and discovered it was a Welsh call centre. I requested that my appointment should be rescheduled from today because of the heat but was told I could not be transferred to the clinic, and an urgent message would be sent through for the clinic to call me
• No one had called by 10.20 and I rang again and was again told that the clinic would call me.
• I rang again at 11.30. I asked if there was at least someone in the building with whom I could speak. Again I was told there was not, and the operative snapped at me saying “I will tell them that you are cancelling on the grounds of safety. Thank you and goodbye” and hung up.
• Fearing that the appointment would simply be cancelled and having paid for it, I rang again. I spoke to a very nice operative called Donna who apologised and said she would make sure it was simply rescheduled not cancelled and she was sure the clinic would contact me before the appointment time
• There was no contact and I was forced to go into the Centre of London in 38Degrees of heat in case the appointment had simply been cancelled totally. The medical team were totally unaware of all this.
No one has ever contacted me.

I appreciated that the team is very busy, but surely the answer is to employ more staff. I also note that there is not outside body (other than the QCC) to whom one can feedback

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry for the frustration you experienced when trying to contact the clinic. We completely understand how concerning this must have been, particularly given the circumstances on the day.

Feedback like this has been really important to us. We have recently moved our telephone service in-house so that patients can contact our own team directly, rather than going through an external call-handling service.

We’re very pleased that your experience with our medical team was positive, and we appreciate you taking the time to highlight where the wider service needed to improve.

Professional and knowledgeable

The healthcare professional was very nice and seems to be be knowledgeable about her job. The only thing that made me feel uncomfortable was the hygiene. I was a little taken aback when I was asked to lie on the bed but with no throw away liner. In fact no cover at all. So I was quite uncomfortable not knowing whether the bed had been disinfected after the previous patient. Overall it’s was an ok experience

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for your kind comments about our healthcare professional. We’re sorry that you were left feeling uncertain about the cleanliness of the treatment couch. For reassurance, our treatment couches are cleaned and disinfected between every patient. We appreciate that this may not have been clear during your visit, however, and completely understand why this caused you concern. Thank you for highlighting it to us.

A good place once past the booking stage

It took too long to book the appointment as there seems to be a messaging system between the person on the phone line & the person who actually books the appointment. Had to chase & only got a call back once appt was marked urgent.
Apart from problems booking the rest of the service was great

Thank you for your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that you had a great experience with us once your appointment was booked, but we’re sorry that the booking process was frustrating and that you had to chase for a response.

Feedback like this has helped us recognise where we needed to improve. We have since brought our telephone service in-house, allowing patients to contact our team directly and helping us provide a more joined-up experience from the first point of contact.

Review of advice

The review excellent - however medication was recommended and we were told this would available over the counter but this was not is was prescription medication only. Without notification to the GP we can’t h get this mediation as advised. We are unclear how to proceed m. The therapist needs to ensure advice is actionable

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re really pleased to hear that you found the review excellent. We’re sorry, however, that there was some uncertainty afterwards about how to access the recommended medication.

Our GI physiologists are not prescribers, so patients would need to speak with their GP or gastroenterologist to discuss this further. We appreciate that the next steps need to be absolutely clear and are grateful to you for highlighting this.
