Long phone waits and chaotic walk-in queues

I had a very disappointing experience at the surgery yesterday. When I called to request an appointment, I was kept on hold for an extended period and received no reply through the online booking system. The receptionist informed me there was a significant waiting period for appointments, so I decided to attend as a walk-in patient instead. However, the surgery was extremely busy and I waited considerably longer than expected before being seen by a clinician. After my consultation, I was given a code to collect my prescription from any pharmacy. I visited the nearest available pharmacy, only to be told the prescription had been directed to a different location that was closed at the time. When my partner attempted to collect it the following day, that pharmacy indicated the medication was not currently in stock and would require an additional wait. This was particularly frustrating given that the clinician had mentioned they would not typically send prescriptions to that particular pharmacy due to stock availability issues. Due to these difficulties, I have decided to register with a different practice and would encourage others to carefully consider their options when choosing a surgery, as the appointment delays and prescription handling processes caused me considerable concern about continuity of care.
