Phone queue wait followed by abrupt call disconnection
I have generally had acceptable experiences at this practice, but I encountered a frustrating situation yesterday. After submitting an online consultation, I was contacted by phone to arrange an appointment, but the only available slot was at a time I couldn't attend. The receptionist advised me to call back the following morning to reschedule. Following this guidance today, I spent over thirty minutes waiting in the telephone queue. When I finally reached someone and explained my circumstances, I was advised to visit a pharmacy and the call was then ended before I had the opportunity to respond. This was disappointing as it wasted my morning waiting for a call that wasn't properly concluded, and I felt my time could have been better spent visiting the pharmacy the previous day rather than waiting for what I believed would be a rescheduled appointment. Additionally, on previous occasions when I have been directed to the pharmacy first, I have been told I need to see my doctor instead, which has felt like a further waste of time. While I recognise that mornings are busy periods for telephone calls, I would expect to at least have a conversation completed rather than having the phone disconnected mid-discussion.
