Booking and phone lines make appointments difficult

While the clinical staff are pleasant and competent, the experience of actually getting an appointment is quite frustrating. The reception team appears to lack efficiency and motivation. When visiting in person, it's noticeable that staff spend considerable time socialising in back areas while patients wait. Telephone access is problematic, and the online booking system is unreliable, frequently malfunctioning and refreshing unexpectedly. Recently, I missed a vaccination appointment and attempted to reschedule through the website, but the system indicated I had already booked. After spending over thirty minutes on hold—which is relatively quick given that only one receptionist typically manages phone lines—I was told to contact a different number for vaccination bookings, despite my appointment confirmation email suggesting I should reschedule by calling the practice directly. The receptionist then advised me that booking wasn't necessary and I could simply attend without one, which contradicted the original email instructions. When I attended, I was seen by a third-party vaccine provider who were professional and efficient, completing the appointment within five minutes. This contrasted sharply with my experience contacting the main practice, which felt disorganised and unhelpful.
