Reception staff made medical decisions inappropriately

I'm not one to complain, and while I believe the healthcare system is struggling to serve people adequately, this practice has been particularly disappointing. As a patient managing a significant health condition with ongoing healing concerns, I would expect to be able to access a doctor. However, the reception staff treat patients dismissively and make clinical decisions that fall outside their remit. When I developed a respiratory infection and had an open wound requiring antibiotics, I was directed to contact the out-of-hours service or emergency services because no suitable appointments were available. While I recognise the pressures the practice faces, redirecting patients in this way seems counterproductive and only adds strain to already stretched emergency services.
