Reception staff dismissive when seeking urgent help

Visited this practice on a Wednesday in August. We are British citizens residing abroad. My teenage son had an accident while visiting relatives in the area. We needed to register with a local GP, which according to the NHS website is permissible if you meet certain criteria, which we believed we satisfied. The receptionist I approached for help and guidance at this surgery came across as dismissive, unwelcoming, and appeared indifferent to our situation. She made it clear the practice could not assist us and directed us to seek care elsewhere. Her manner suggested she was keen to end the conversation, despite there being minimal activity in the reception area at the time. We subsequently visited another local practice nearby and had a markedly different experience. The receptionist there was friendly and genuinely helpful, and we were able to register and see a clinician without any complications.
