Frustrating access to oversubscribed GP surgery

Accessing this GP practice is an absolute nightmare. The eConsult system is a complete waste of time, as they simply instruct you to call back. When you do, you're trapped in an endless queue. Once you finally reach reception, they inform you that no appointments are available and can't even promise you'll get one in the future. They refuse to schedule callbacks, forcing you to engage in a daily 8 AM phone battle, which is utterly impractical for working individuals. This isn't a one-off issue; it's a recurring problem that highlights how severely oversubscribed the surgery is. They're clearly struggling to manage patient demand, and the quality of service has hit rock bottom. It's been deteriorating for years with no signs of improvement. The thought of trying to maintain regular appointments with them is truly daunting. This practice has become a textbook example of everything wrong with primary care access.
