Reception dismissed concerns without checking availability

I attended my GP surgery in the afternoon as I was concerned I might have a urinary tract infection, particularly given my recent medical situation. I approached the reception desk and asked whether it would be possible to see a nurse for a test to help confirm my suspicion. I was told that the practice was closed for training that afternoon and that no clinical staff were available. This response was given without the receptionist appearing to check the appointment system. I decided to leave and visited a nearby pharmacy instead. They assisted me in contacting the out-of-hours service, and I was assessed at the local hospital within a couple of hours, where my concerns were confirmed. I felt disappointed that I was not offered an appointment or alternative support at the surgery, and instead was simply turned away without further assistance.
