Reception staff dismissive when booking urgent appointments

I have been attending this practice for a considerable time and feel the standard of care has declined. There is a particular member of the reception team whose manner I find quite unwelcoming, whilst others are pleasant enough. On the occasions I do call, I seem to frequently reach this individual who appears keen to end the conversation quickly and makes me feel as though I am imposing. When I requested an urgent appointment, I was advised to call back at a specific time. When I did so just a few minutes after that time, I was informed that all available slots had been filled. The lack of compassion in these interactions has been disappointing. I also have concerns about the clinical competence of one of the clinicians at the practice. I am now exploring options to access care through my local hospital instead, as I feel my needs are not being adequately addressed here. The practice is clearly not meeting my expectations. I would consider switching to another surgery, however alternative options in my area have lengthy waiting lists. I also note the practice displays a policy regarding respectful treatment of staff, yet I feel this standard is not being reciprocated by all team members. 😟
