Impossible to book appointments with same-day system
Unfortunately, I have recently had to switch to a different practice because I was consistently unable to secure appointments. The booking system only permits same-day reservations, requiring callers to phone at 8:00am on the morning they wish to attend. By the time you successfully navigate through the queue or overcome repeated engaged signals, the available slots for that day have already been taken. For someone working extended hours, obtaining an appointment is extremely challenging unless it is a genuine emergency, and even in those circumstances, attending an urgent care centre sometimes seems like the more practical option. The clinical staff are excellent (assuming you manage to get an appointment), but the limitations of the current appointment system mean I am no longer able to continue with this practice. I believe it is unreasonable to expect working individuals to call at 8am to book a slot and then have to notify their employer that same morning about a potential late arrival. If advance booking were possible even just one or two days ahead, the practice would be significantly improved.
The receptionist appeared unwilling to provide assistance.

Disappointing experience, though it's possible they may not be aware of the phone lines ringing. Not a satisfactory visit overall.
