Hard to reach reception and often see nurses instead

Getting through to the practice can be challenging, and once you do, you need to explain your situation to reception staff who are described as trained. However, appointments often result in seeing a nurse practitioner rather than a doctor, and I found it difficult to get a clear understanding of what was causing my symptoms. I experienced muscle pain related to my fibromyalgia, which I deal with regularly, but when I attended A&E, I spent a considerable amount of time there before being informed about a kidney stone. I was advised to get in touch if the situation changed, though it was reassuring that the hospital could investigate further. My granddaughter had a similar experience where she was seen by multiple clinicians with no clear findings, but when she attended hospital, it became apparent she required urgent attention due to a serious health concern. She was found to have an infection, which was frightening for her family, though she is now recovering well.
