Phone system makes booking appointments nearly impossible

The current phone system presents significant challenges in terms of accessibility, making it exceptionally difficult to reach reception staff at the most basic level. Continuity of care has proven problematic, with patients frequently seeing different practitioners rather than establishing an ongoing relationship with a consistent clinician. Many concerns raised during consultations appear to be overlooked or not adequately addressed. A more functional phone system would likely represent a meaningful improvement, as the existing approach does not appear to fairly serve all patients' fundamental needs on an equal basis. For instance, attempting to reach reception has required spending between 20-45 minutes twice daily over more than a week without success. Additionally, available appointments were fully booked within 15 minutes on a recent morning. The phone line has frequently disconnected during hold periods, necessitating repeated attempts to reconnect and restart the process. The current appointment booking system appears inadequate and has not been sufficiently adjusted to accommodate the volume of registered patients seeking care at this practice.
