Frustrating same-day only appointment booking system

I recently relocated to the Birtley area and registered with BMG. Since October, I have been experiencing persistent respiratory symptoms including coughing and recurrent chest infections. I have attempted to arrange appointments on two separate occasions without success. On both attempts, I was informed that I would need to call on the morning of the desired appointment to secure a same-day slot. This approach differs significantly from other practices I have used previously, which offered greater flexibility with appointment scheduling and telephone consultation options. Given my work commitments, I find it challenging to arrange time off at such short notice. As a result, I have decided to transfer my care to an alternative practice. The current surgery has been the least accommodating of all the medical providers I have experienced. My symptoms remain unresolved, and despite submitting two electronic consultation requests, both responses directed me to call at 7am the following day to book an appointment. I continue to feel unsupported in managing my ongoing health concerns.
