Long waits to book appointments on the phone

Securing an appointment involves lengthy telephone waiting periods starting at 8am, with frequent outcomes of being informed that all slots are unavailable. Advance booking options are not available. The alternative approach involves attending the surgery in person at 8am to attempt obtaining an appointment. The current appointment system represents a decline from previous years when telephone advance booking was an option. It seems counterintuitive that individuals who are unwell need to wait outside the surgery to pursue an appointment. Similarly, it is unclear why scheduling appointments in advance for non-urgent concerns is not permitted. It raises questions about whether this approach is standard across other practices.
