Frustrating registration with impossible timing

Oh goodness. After discovering I wasn't in my preferred healthcare provider's postcode area, I reluctantly decided to register with Park Lane since it was the closest option. The mediocre two-star rating made me hesitant, but I figured, how bad could it be...? I carefully completed the registration paperwork, prepared my identification, and felt prepared. I arrived just after work at 5:45pm, shortly before their 6pm closing time. To my frustration, the patients' entrance was locked. I called the reception from mere steps away and was informed that patients are recommended to arrive before 5pm, with some unspecified "processes to complete". But I had already filled out all the necessary forms - surely this was just a simple administrative handover? My work schedule makes it impossible to arrive before 5pm, despite them being technically open until 6pm. What a completely pointless experience. I'll probably just wait until I'm seriously ill and go straight to the hospital. I shudder to think about the challenges faced by patients already registered with this practice.
