Couldn't get doctor appointment when unwell on Friday

Had a respiratory infection following a recent illness and developed a chest condition that required medical attention. Needed to see a doctor on Wednesday but the practice was closed for staff training. A friend assisted me to get to another local practice for testing, where I was prescribed medication. By Friday, my symptoms had worsened and I attempted to contact the practice for advice or an appointment. I was informed this wasn't possible despite calling well before closing time. I explained my situation as best I could given my voice difficulties, but felt my concerns weren't taken seriously. I was advised to call the out-of-hours service later that evening. I found this experience very frustrating, as I felt unable to access medical support when I genuinely needed it. I was told I could make a complaint but felt discouraged from doing so. Overall, I was disappointed with the service and have decided to register with an alternative practice.
