Appointments vanish in seconds, impossible to access

Attempting to secure an appointment at this surgery feels frustrating to say the least. I have been a patient here for many years and have rarely made demands, yet when I do request assistance, I find the practice unhelpful. Calling at opening time results in all available slots being taken within moments. The online consultation system experiences the same issue, becoming fully booked almost immediately. Even advance bookings are consistently full. I attended a walk-in centre where a clinician suggested my GP arrange a blood test, but the practice refused to proceed without an in-person appointment despite my having recently seen a GP there. When I enquired whether my GP had reviewed the report from the walk-in centre, I was told staff cannot communicate directly with the GP or pass on messages and documentation. This entire situation felt obstructive and unhelpful over what should have been a straightforward request for a blood test. Obtaining an appointment here appears nearly impossible. Based on my experience, I feel the practice falls short in providing adequate support to patients.
