Getting test results through phone queues was frustrating

Obtaining test results has proven to be quite challenging. I received a missed call and a message asking me to contact the surgery regarding my results. When I called at approximately 3pm the previous day, I experienced a lengthy wait in the queue before being informed that a clinician would contact me shortly. The callback came at 8:20pm for reasons unclear to me, which happened to be during a busy time with my family. By around 6:00pm I had stopped anticipating their call, so the late contact was unexpected. I called back the following day and waited through the queue again, only to have the line disconnected. On my next attempt, I managed to get through the queue but the phone rang continuously for several minutes without answer before I discontinued the call. The service experience has been quite poor. When a clinician needs to discuss test results with a patient, it typically suggests there may be concerning findings. It is understandably stressful to be left uncertain, particularly after receiving voicemail messages indicating they wished to discuss the results as they could relate to my symptoms, and requesting I contact the surgery urgently, only to find the line unanswered. I would have preferred to access the results directly through the NHS app, however they have not been made available there either. I am also disappointed by the limitations of the review platform in expressing my level of dissatisfaction.
