Impossible to get appointments through their system

I relocated to a different GP practice and have been much more satisfied since leaving. During my time at this surgery, I felt that my ongoing healthcare needs were not adequately monitored, as I rarely received invitations for routine reviews. The appointments I did attend were predominantly conducted by telephone, which I found limiting for certain types of assessments. The appointment booking system appeared inefficient and difficult to navigate. I noticed the waiting room was frequently quiet, which suggested to me that appointment slots were not being fully utilised. My family member experienced significant health concerns and, after navigating multiple online assessment forms and telephone consultations, ultimately needed to contact alternative NHS services for support. I believe that when patients cannot access timely appointments at their local surgery, they are forced to seek help elsewhere, which places additional strain on emergency services and contributes to wider pressures within the NHS. In my view, this practice has operated in a similar manner for an extended period without meaningful improvements. I found the overall experience frustrating and felt that the service fell short of what patients deserve.
