Phone queue fills up within minutes of opening
Attempted to call the surgery this morning and joined the phone queue at 8.30am with over 30 people ahead. Within two minutes, a recorded message indicated that all routine appointments had been allocated and only emergency slots remained, suggesting very limited availability was being offered. This situation is concerning. I have also attempted to book appointments online as advertised, understanding that slots are released at 8.30am. However, no appointments have been available online despite trying at 8.20am, 8.30am on multiple days. I submitted an online request for a repeat prescription which was rejected because I had not requested it recently. This is one of several matters I am attempting to address. A cervical screening test is due, but I understand there is currently limited staffing for this service, with availability only on certain days and bookings extending well into the future. The practice does not appear to offer pre-bookable appointments, meaning the only way to secure an appointment is to call at 8.30am and hope to reach someone before slots fill. This raises questions about whether staffing levels may be contributing to these difficulties. I am also seeking a face-to-face appointment with a particular clinician, which seems unlikely to happen in the near future. The NHS and this practice need to take action to restore the service to its former standard. I hope that improvements will be made going forward.
The service fell short of expectations and was quite disappointing. It seemed as though one had to be in a very serious condition to receive adequate attention.
