Appointment gatekeeping makes access difficult

I've been finding it increasingly difficult with this practice. When I phone to arrange an appointment with a GP, I'm frequently informed that my concern doesn't meet the threshold for urgency and that the triage system is reserved for urgent cases only. It seems to me that patients with genuinely urgent needs should be directed towards emergency services or hospital accident and emergency departments instead. I'm uncertain about how the reception staff are able to make judgements about what constitutes urgency, as something that feels pressing to me clearly doesn't register as such to them. If you're thinking about registering with this practice, I would advise against it. I would rate it lower if the system allowed.
