Phone queue led to unhelpful nurse practitioner callback

Called at 8am seeking a GP appointment. Was informed that no slots were currently available, and was offered the option to see a nurse practitioner instead, despite having already consulted one at another facility a week prior for the same issue, with advice to return to a GP if symptoms persisted. Was also given the possibility of receiving a GP callback. Three hours later, a nurse practitioner called back. She was unable to provide assistance due to lack of available appointments but offered an appointment with her the following day at 10am. This was inconvenient given work commitments outside the local area. Contacted 111 for guidance, who provided an excellent service and indicated that a GP consultation was needed within 2 hours, and arranged a callback. However, no appointment became available until the following evening. The service received from the practice was deeply disappointing. During the call, the nurse practitioner appeared not to be fully engaged with the concerns being raised and demonstrated minimal enthusiasm in addressing the situation.
