Had to push hard for specialist referral myself

I experienced hearing difficulties and headaches during the previous year following multiple courses of antibiotics. I felt I had to persistently request a referral to an ear, nose and throat specialist, and once I eventually received this appointment, the issue was resolved. I also dealt with a prolonged cough lasting several weeks. After contacting the practice, I was prescribed antibiotics, but the cough persisted following completion of the course. I was subsequently prescribed an inhaler, though the cough has continued to the present day. Due to these experiences, I have decided to transfer to a different GP practice. I feel the approach here focuses too heavily on medication rather than investigating underlying causes or arranging appropriate investigations or specialist consultations. Additionally, I experienced a significant wait of approximately an hour for an appointment on one occasion. I was not forewarned of this delay and was left unattended in the waiting area after the surgery's standard closing time, which I found unacceptable.
