Impossible to book appointments through overwhelming phone queues

Getting an appointment at this practice is extremely challenging. When calling at opening time, there are typically many people already in the queue ahead. Even if you manage to connect, you are often informed that all available slots for that day have been filled and advised to try again the following day. Should you be considered for an appointment, it is usually offered as a telephone consultation with an approximate time, but only after the reception staff have inquired about the reason for your visit. When the consultation eventually takes place, the experience feels dismissive and leaves you feeling as though you are imposing on the clinician's time. Despite pandemic-related restrictions no longer being in place, the practitioners at this surgery appear reluctant to conduct in-person appointments and predominantly work remotely. This approach raises concerns about the quality of care, as remote consultations may limit the ability to provide thorough assessments and appropriate clinical recommendations.
