Endless wait for daughter's urine infection help

I struggled to get medical help for my 5-year-old with a suspected urine infection. Day 1, I spent 56 minutes on hold without success, and a second attempt lasted 45 minutes. The next day, both my husband and I tried calling at 8:00 AM, with me waiting 52 minutes without reaching anyone. Frustrated, my husband visited the surgery and was told to go home and wait for a doctor's call. The doctor then directed us to a walk-in centre, which was completely unhelpful. After a week of persistent symptoms, I called again at 8:00 AM with no response. Another visit to the surgery resulted in an appointment, and a urine sample was requested. Despite repeated attempts to follow up at various times, I received no communication. Now I must return to the surgery again. Giving one star feels generous. The surgery is utterly incompetent. I'm actively seeking to change providers because these doctors seem completely ineffective. It appears they've obtained their qualifications from a questionable source. I sympathize with the staff, who are likely constrained by poor management that has overloaded their patient capacity. Potential patients should read these reviews carefully. How can so many people complain about the same issues with no improvements? This surgery should probably be shut down. While everyone talks about NHS pressures, other local surgeries seem to manage appointments and communication far more effectively. They might as well just ask patients to come in person and save everyone the frustration of endless phone waiting.
