Another rash, another wild goose chase

I contacted the surgery regarding another round of penicillin capsules as advised by my James Cook doctor if the rash hadn't completely cleared. The practice nurse at 5pm confirmed all details were on the computer system, and the medication was working, but another course was needed as recommended. I've had numerous appointments, not just in hospitals, and felt this was wasting both my time and the surgery's resources since the information was readily available. They suggested a telephone appointment and asked me to send a rash photo through a link, which I did, only to be told a face-to-face meeting was necessary. I find this practice nurse unhelpful and didn't want to visit the surgery on a potentially pointless trip. I don't feel I receive adequate care here, with doctors being rare and practice nurses being the norm. Since merging with another surgery, the whole experience seems inefficient, and the other location is inconveniently distant. If all information is on the computer screen and I've already sent a rash photo, why complicate the process of getting a repeat prescription? I've requested the photo be deleted from my medical notes and hope reception will be more careful before asking patients to do such things in future.
