Getting through the phone queue takes far too long

Securing actual appointments with a GP has become increasingly challenging. The practice will be losing a significant member of their clinical team in the coming weeks, which raises concerns that availability may deteriorate further. The reception and clinical support staff are courteous and professional, as are the clinicians when consultations do take place, but the underlying issues appear to stem from insufficient funding, inadequate staffing levels, and considerable operational pressure. I share the concerns raised by other patients regarding the online appointment system, which has recently experienced technical difficulties, leading to a return to telephone-based booking. I experienced a lengthy wait in the call queue lasting 42 minutes with several callers ahead of me before successfully connecting, after which I was offered a telephone consultation scheduled for the following week. While the staff themselves are not responsible for these difficulties, the practice would benefit from addressing these systemic challenges to deliver the standard of care it aspires to provide.
