Long phone queues and unavailable appointments frustrate

The service at this branch is deeply disappointing. I am fortunate to use a different surgery and therefore have a basis for comparison. I need to contact this medical centre when arranging appointments for my parents. Today I waited on hold for over an hour before speaking to someone, only to be told I would receive a callback that never came. The previous day I spent 40 minutes on hold, and when I finally got through, I was informed there were no available appointments. Every time I have called, I have experienced hold times of at least 40 minutes. The automated message suggests that online booking is available, but this does not match my experience - there are consistently no online appointments to book. The operational systems at this surgery appear to be under strain, with very tight appointment scheduling and what seems to be a stressed receptionist team. While I recognise that receptionists work in a challenging role, the staff at this location have not been particularly courteous or accommodating during my interactions. I struggle to see how someone who is unwell and in distress would manage to navigate this experience. I would urge the surgery to review and improve these systems. I believe this would benefit everyone involved, including the staff members themselves.
