'How utterly demoralising when we’ve worked so hard'

As a long time resident of Alderley Edge( 72 yrs) I have always found the staff Doctors nurses and office staff very very helpful kind and considerate.To receive a note like this (unsigned I believe is disgusting.These are very difficult times for all where is the "milk of hunam kindness?"

I entirely agree with Graham McLelland. We are extremely fortunate to have such a dedicated caring medical practice in the village, who have worked so hard during the pandemic to keep the service going. It must be devastating to receive such unwarranted abuse. All the staff deserve our unreserved gratitude.

Jean Wearne. Absolutely spot on. This is unwarranted abuse and should be reported to the police.

On behalf of the Parish Council, I am shocked and appalled that someone should write something like this, and then post it without any signature. ‘Step up to the plate’ if you want to be taken seriously but to hide like a ‘keyboard warrior’ is shameful.

I know I speak for the majority of Alderley Edge residents when I say that we receive a truly wonderful support from our Medical Centre and all of the Staff there who make things happen. Reaction time and communication is quick and efficient and we should all count ourselves as fortunate to be cared for as we are here in Alderley Edge.

If things go wrong, which of course they do in any busy environment, it seems that social media is now the first port of call. This allows criticism to be levelled without the criticiser having to take any responsibility for their actions. It is a behaviour trait that will destroy communities and breed an alternative culture which I find abhorrent. But it is fast becoming the ‘norm’.

Show your support here for our Medical Centre staff please, who must be puzzled by this attack - and who must be hurting. They deserve to know that they have your support and appreciation. Please don’t let this mindless nonsense prevail.

I wholeheartedly agree with all the above comments. I, like Graham, have lived here all my life and feel I have been very fortunate in having such a wonderful medical practice.

There's something decidedly "whiffy" about a person slipping that note anonymously into the prescription box.

The team at the Medical Centre have provided excellent service in very difficult circumstances and they deserve much better than this.

I too agree wholeheartedly with Mike D.J.
During my 36years residency in A/E I have always appreciated and enjoyed the excellent care given to me by this most pleasant and professional team and I hope that the staff will not allow this shameful coward to cause any further distress

I support all the above comments regarding our Medical Centre. We have always found all the staff most helpful and sympathetic and cannot understand why someone would post this note in the prescription box. The doctors and staff have been on the front line during the pandemic and deserve better than this!

I don't understand. This is not a " note". It's not handwritten, it's not from anyone or addressed to anyone. It doesn't deserve any of this attention. I don't know what it is. Rip it up and just ignore it.

Hopefully all the staff at the Medical Centre realise that most of us really appreciate how they’ve been there for us through this Covid period. Obviously routines have had to change, but our family can honestly say that any health issues we’ve had through the pandemic, have been dealt with swiftly.
There’ll always be a small minority of people who are never satisfied sadly.

Who ever sent the note doesn’t need a GP but a Psychiatrist An absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for comment.I have nothing but praise and admiration for all the staff at Alderley edge medical practice. Well done to all of you

I worked for the doctors at Alderley Edge surgery for over 10 years as a HCA. I saw first hand how they went above and beyond their duty to provide an excellent service to patients. Always very approachable for us staff too. Putting a note like this through the door is disgraceful behaviour and shouldn’t be aimed at the Doctors.

Yes these guys have done there best i even had a home visit from a very charming young new doctor !

Yes whoever posted this note went about venting there views in the wrong way but they do actually have a point.
When will GPs be back to normal?

#Chris Jones.

I can only assume that will be when the pandemic is over. When will that be? I don't know nor does anybody else.
