Safety + Confidentiality When In Gps Surgery

[Bathsheba]

Does anyone else object to the fact that when in the GPs waiting room, often a vast area now in a health centre, one's name is either flashed up on a screen for all to see, and a computer generated voice calls it out, or as in the case at my surgery, because the screens are often out of order, the GP him (or her ;) ) self strolls down the corridor and shouts your name out?

Then, as if that isn't enough to give potential burglars the nod,....later on in the pharmacy, the meds are not handed over until either the pharmacist or the customer has shouted out their address! ......... ....just me musing on a Friday afternoon......

I'd never even thought about that, either in Doctors or Chemists.

we have an open room as patients and receptionists are in the same room - when you go into get your prescription - maybe she can't find it for the moment - and she says "Oh what would it be about - says I maybe Chylamadia" would that help-. No we don't have confidentiality between receptionists and patients. I do object to this big time.
