Calls get terminated after endless phone queues

I found this to be an extremely disappointing experience with the practice. The telephone system is frustrating—when calls do connect, there seems to be an unnecessarily long wait before the line is disconnected. I attended with a serious medical issue that was causing me considerable distress and required urgent attention. I had been advised by NHS services to visit my GP, and whilst I was fortunate to secure an appointment relatively quickly, I felt let down by the response I received. The clinician indicated they were unable to provide the procedure I needed and directed me to the hospital instead. I felt this could have been handled differently, as I believed the intervention was straightforward enough for the practice to manage. The wait for transport to hospital was particularly difficult given my condition, and I spent the time in considerable discomfort moving around the waiting area. I did appreciate that assistance was offered in arranging my transport, which was a positive aspect of the visit, but overall the experience fell short of what I would have expected from a medical practice.
