Practice won't process repeat prescriptions remotely

I found the management of my care to be inadequate. My regular prescription medication was discontinued without my prior notification. When I attempted to arrange a remote consultation to address this, I was informed this option was unavailable. I tried to request my medication through the online system, but the items were not displaying as available to order, which I had already mentioned in my remote consultation request. After contacting reception, I was told I would need to visit in person to place an order. I explained that I work during opening hours and have been attempting to obtain this medication for over a week. As I have an upcoming trip and will deplete my supply while away, I requested the medication in advance. I was advised to submit an email, which I did, but when I followed up the next day, I was informed nothing had been processed because an in-person visit was required. Despite explaining that I had been told email submission was possible and that I am unable to attend in person, I was told there was nothing that could be done without someone visiting the practice, and even then there was no certainty the medication would be available before my departure. This means I will face a significant gap in my long-term medication supply.
