Persistent phone queues made continuity impossible

Over the past couple of years, I have attended numerous medical appointments but have not had continuity of care with the same clinician. During one instance, I made multiple attempts to reach the practice by telephone in the morning before successfully getting through. Once connected, I requested an appointment, outlined my health concerns, and asked to see one of a few clinicians familiar with my situation to maintain consistency in my care. I was informed that none of these clinicians had availability. I indicated my willingness to wait until the following day for an appointment. The response suggested that if I could wait, the matter was not urgent and I should call back the next morning. Following this experience, I made the decision to transfer to a different practice. This was particularly frustrating as I had already taken annual leave to attend three pre-booked appointments, and the matter was health-related. All of these appointments were subsequently cancelled without any prior notification to me. While some of the clinical staff at the original practice are excellent, the reception team and the telephone system have significantly undermined the quality of service provided.
