Inflexible appointment system doesn't work for shift workers

This practice has been declining and I'm seriously considering switching to another surgery. I called requesting to see a clinician and was informed a nurse would call me back. When I asked if I could attend before 10am, I was told this wouldn't be possible as the nurse doesn't start until 2.30pm, which doesn't work for my schedule. I then enquired about coming in at 8.30am straight after finishing a night shift, and was told I would receive a telephone consultation followed by being given an appointment time. This would mean finishing a night shift, travelling forty minutes by bus to attend, only to be sent home and then receive a call to arrange an appointment. I'm struggling to understand when I would have time to sleep before my next night shift. The appointment system needs significant improvement.
