Impossible to get appointments when you need them

This practice has been disappointing in our experience. We only attend when absolutely necessary. My partner has been experiencing significant discomfort for several weeks while attempting to secure an appointment. The swelling and mobility issues have been distressing, and we have sought private healthcare support as well as emergency care, with all providers recommending GP involvement. However, the practice currently appears to only accommodate emergency cases when booking appointments. The referral system creates a frustrating situation where specialist care requires GP authorization, yet obtaining GP appointments proves extremely difficult. The staff interactions have felt unhelpful, and the overall service quality has been concerning. We have serious reservations about the standard of care provided. The service issues persisted during a recent contact attempt. Update: The underlying condition ultimately required hospital treatment and multiple surgical interventions at different facilities to address a serious infection that had not been identified earlier. We have since transferred to another practice due to our dissatisfaction with the care received. We hope others do not experience similar difficulties with service provision.
