Phone receptionist unhelpful when seeking urgent help

I contacted the practice this morning seeking guidance regarding my young child who was unwell, experiencing a high temperature, vomiting on several occasions, and appearing lethargic. The receptionist I spoke with was unhelpful. She indicated that the schedule was fully booked that day, which I understand happens regularly, and mentioned that a clinician would ring me back to assess the situation, though she was unable to provide a specific timeframe. Given how poorly my child appeared, I found it frustrating to encounter difficulties in accessing support through the NHS, particularly when young patients require prompt attention and are unable to communicate their symptoms clearly. I believe the practice should consider expanding its medical staffing to ensure all patients, especially unwell children, can receive timely care.
