Reception staff refused to check reciprocal healthcare agreement

During a recent visit to the UK while staying with family, my husband sustained an injury to his ankle resulting in significant bruising and swelling. We attended the local surgery seeking an assessment and potential medical advice, given my husband's medical history of previous serious infections. The receptionist declined to arrange an appointment and instead directed us to attend accident and emergency services. When I attempted to discuss the healthcare arrangements between our country of residence and the UK, the receptionist indicated they were unfamiliar with such agreements and reiterated the suggestion to visit accident and emergency. It would seem reasonable to expect that reception staff possess adequate knowledge of international healthcare reciprocal arrangements to provide appropriate guidance to patients in such situations.
