Reception refused to offer same-day appointment

My daughter requested a prescription for antibiotics as she was unwell. No telephone appointment was made available, and she was directed to visit the adjacent pharmacy for assessment. However, given her weakened state due to existing health conditions, the surgery advised her to contact the out-of-hours service after 6.30pm. When she did so, she was instructed to attend the hospital, which she felt unable to do due to the distance and her condition. She then made the effort to attend the surgery reception in person, where she was informed that emergency appointments were not available at the practice. No same-day appointment or alternative appointment on another day was offered to her. Following this, she attended the adjacent pharmacy, where she was advised that only one antibiotic option was available. This was not suitable for her needs, leaving her uncertain about how to proceed. We feel the situation was not handled appropriately, and we intend to pursue this matter further.
