Getting appointment and results felt unnecessarily difficult

Absolutely Shocking!! One star is far too generous!! I try to give the staff some understanding and recognise they are usually very busy, but almost every time I've interacted with this practice I've felt incredibly frustrated and annoyed by the service I've received. Getting an appointment with a clinician is an absolute nightmare, and the online consultation system feels ineffective (it seems necessary to adjust your answers in order to get a clinician to actually call you back). A few days ago we submitted a sample for testing and were instructed to call back the next day for the results. After experiencing significant discomfort for 24 hours we called back only to be told the test results hadn't come through yet and we were advised to call again the following day. Another 24 hours of discomfort followed. I called for the results as directed only to discover the practice was closed for staff training!! Surely this closure must have been scheduled in advance, so why instruct patients to call back knowing the practice would be unavailable!! The experience has left me feeling the practice is unreliable and I would recommend looking elsewhere!!
