Hard to reach and reluctant to book appointments

Getting through is an absolute nightmare, and once you do manage it, it feels like the reception team is actively working against you being able to book an appointment. For instance, I've submitted an online enquiry before to avoid the hassle of calling. A clinician then texted to arrange an appointment as I needed to be seen urgently. When I called to book, I was told there were no available slots. This was the case for every other day of the week and the following week as well. Apparently, you have to ring at 8am on the day itself to secure an appointment. It doesn't make sense to be told appointments aren't available when a doctor has specifically asked you to call in. Similarly, today involved dealing with an unhelpful attitude from the call handler. After going back and forth and feeling like we were getting nowhere, I was eventually given an appointment. The customer service approach really needs to improve. If the staff handling calls aren't content with their day-to-day role of booking appointments and are choosing to be unwelcoming as a result, perhaps they should consider a different position.
