Appointment shortage left me without essential medication

I'm confident the team are stretched thin and I've had positive interactions overall given the circumstances. They're doing their best and I'm grateful for the NHS and this practice. However, I was issued a month's supply of medication with instructions to return in three weeks, and despite calling ahead with two weeks' notice, there were no available slots. Since this medication requires daily use to be effective, the lack of continuity has been problematic. It would have been preferable to receive a repeat prescription upfront if capacity was limited, as I've now experienced side effects for four weeks and face the prospect of going through this again. This isn't meant as criticism of the practice itself, but rather frustration that this situation could have been prevented. The reception team understandably have considerable demands on their time, but I found it difficult when they couldn't answer my questions about the repeat prescription process, which left me uncertain about how to proceed. The NHS clearly needs greater investment from government to address these systemic issues.
