Impossible to book appointments through the phone queue
I found this practice to be quite frustrating. When I called seeking an appointment, I was informed that none were available and was asked to ring back several days later. When I did call again, I received the same response and was advised to contact them at 8am. The appointment booking system appears to operate on a same-day call basis only, with no option to schedule visits in advance. The phone lines seem to be consistently busy, requiring multiple attempts to get through, which can be time-consuming. Even after managing to reach someone, there is no certainty of securing an appointment if other callers are successful first. I felt the administrative processes at this practice could be significantly improved. The current system creates unnecessary barriers to accessing care, which I believe contributes to the challenges patients face when trying to engage with GP services.

This practice has been very disappointing. The reception staff seem to overstep their role. I've struggled to book appointments for my family members. The telephone system is particularly frustrating.
