Reception staff dismissive of health concerns

This practice was excellent previously when it operated independently, and I relocated with them from their earlier location. They were a wonderful practice where appointments were readily available and staff consistently showed genuine care and consideration. The reception team demonstrated real compassion in those days, which is quite different from the current situation. The reception staff now seem to act as though they possess medical knowledge, making judgments about what might be wrong with patients as if they were qualified clinicians. This behaviour has not been limited to my own experiences but has also affected my family members. When I contacted the practice feeling quite poorly and requested to see a doctor, I was informed that no appointments were available and was instead directed to visit a pharmacist. This guidance proved inadequate, as I subsequently required emergency transport to hospital, where I was diagnosed with a serious infection affecting my chest and lungs. My confidence in this practice has significantly declined since the organisational changes took place.
