Phone queues and website referrals frustrate patients

1 star… Switched from my previous GP due to dissatisfaction, but have encountered significant difficulties securing an appointment at the new practice. Since registering, there has been no contact from the surgery, and phone lines are consistently difficult to reach. Booking appointments requires logging in at 8.30am online, yet after a day has elapsed, there has been no communication regarding appointment availability or expected timeframes. The overall service feels inadequate. Like many practices currently, the focus appears to be on automated systems rather than direct patient communication, with automated responses, waiting music, lengthy queues, and constant redirection to online portals. I am considering switching practices once more. My only requirement is a routine prescription, yet I remain uncertain who my assigned clinician is or whether I will manage to speak with anyone at all. 3 stars… Updated review June 2023: I attended the surgery in person and found the reception staff to be welcoming and attentive. The clinical staff demonstrated genuine care and professionalism. The location is challenging to navigate, but given the positive experience with the personnel, I am willing to continue with the practice and see how things progress.
