Phone lines impossible to reach during working hours

I spent half an hour over two days attempting to reach someone by phone. Subsequently, I was instructed to submit an online referral and given the impression that I needed to understate my symptoms to receive attention. If you happen to miss a call from the practice, you must begin the entire process from scratch without being given advance notice of when they will ring. This creates significant difficulties for anyone in employment who cannot always be available to take calls. Following this, I was offered a telephone appointment scheduled for several weeks ahead. Prior to the pandemic, response times were already lengthy. As someone who works in healthcare and interacts with patients regularly, I believe the practice needs to substantially improve their systems. I am planning to register with a different practice at the earliest opportunity.
