Long wait followed by rushed appointment

I had difficulty obtaining an appointment for my young infant despite persistent attempts and a referral from 111 that appeared to be overlooked. Once seen, the consultation lasted approximately one minute following a considerable wait. My baby presented with a fever, which according to NHS guidance warrants urgent assessment in infants of this age, and symptoms suggested a respiratory viral infection. The clinician appeared rushed and keen to conclude the appointment quickly, offering minimal discussion before ushering us out with a brief comment that babies commonly become unwell. No guidance was provided regarding further medical attention. Several hours later, my infant was admitted to hospital where we remained for a week due to their age and the severity of the respiratory condition. I feel the initial presentation may have been preventable had specific preventative measures been offered during pregnancy in line with current NHS recommendations. This experience has left me disappointed with the care received and I would encourage others to seek alternative medical providers.
