Impossible to get a simple appointment

Total time squandering experience. Impossible to secure a consultation without navigating through Ask my GP. Explicitly denied an appointment despite being directly on the phone with them. The Ask My GP website instructs that for genuinely urgent matters, one should call the surgery. Yet the receptionist never inquired about the urgency or nature of my request. My work schedule prevents me from accessing emails during the ridiculously narrow timeframe of 0830-0930, if you're fortunate. Not everyone has the luxury of sitting in front of a computer all day. I rarely seek medical attention, sometimes going years between visits, and when I genuinely need assistance, they go out of their way to discourage me. I've heard complaints about appointment difficulties, and now I understand completely. It's no surprise Accident and Emergency departments are overwhelmed - they're essentially performing the tasks you're failing to do. You must take great pride in this approach; I would be mortified to be associated with such a service.
