Phone lines impossible to get through on

Disappointing experience with accessibility, struggling to reach the practice by phone and finding online booking options unavailable. When contact is eventually made with reception staff, there appears to be an expectation to call during their operating hours rather than times that suit patients' schedules. After persisting for an hour to get through, the response received was that the matter couldn't be escalated to clinical staff as it wasn't deemed an emergency. There seems to be confusion about the role of general practice versus emergency services. Frustrated by repeated deflections and the sense that the practice is reluctant to facilitate appointments with clinical staff. Questioning how reception staff are positioned to make clinical judgements about urgency and priority. Overall, the service feels inadequate for its intended purpose.
