Phone queues disconnect and appointments unavailable

The pandemic appears to have significantly changed how this practice operates, and not for the better. The main concerns are that in-person consultations are no longer available. Advance appointment booking is no longer possible. Patients are instructed to call at 8am for same-day appointments, but the phone lines are consistently busy during morning hours with automated messages asking callers to try again later. When patients do manage to join the phone queue, they often wait for extended periods, sometimes an hour or more, only to experience dropped calls. On the rare occasions when contact is successfully made, appointment slots are typically unavailable. This cycle repeats regularly. Additionally, some reception staff interactions have been perceived as dismissive, unhelpful, and discourteous. This experience appears to be widespread among the patient population at this surgery rather than an isolated incident. Prior to the pandemic, the practice did not present these difficulties.
