Reception staff dismissed concerns without listening

The reception team displayed an unwelcoming demeanor. There seemed to be a dismissive attitude when patients raised concerns, with comments suggesting that other matters were being prioritized over listening to complaints. The frequent references to pandemic-related procedures became frustrating. It appears that clinical staff are making decisions about which patients receive appointments and which do not. The practice of conducting initial assessments by telephone means that in-person visits are only offered at the discretion of the practice. This situation feels increasingly like pandemic protocols are being used as a reason to reduce patient consultations. There is a perception that staff are maintaining the same compensation while seeing fewer patients overall. This may explain why emergency departments are becoming overwhelmed, as waiting there sometimes feels quicker than attempting to access primary care appointments.
