Reception staff unhelpful with phone support request

My mum is a patient at this medical practice and, as someone with learning disabilities, she finds the new system quite challenging. I called and spoke with a receptionist who declined to assist me over the phone, stating that I would need to visit the surgery in person to complete a form. I was simply seeking some support and guidance for my mum, who was experiencing chest pains at the time. The receptionist's manner came across as dismissive and unhelpful, and the call ended before I could fully explain the situation. I subsequently travelled to the surgery, where another member of staff provided excellent assistance. She patiently helped me complete the form and took the time to explain how to use the system for future appointments. This positive experience is the primary reason for my rating, as despite there being a queue at reception and limited staff available, she demonstrated genuine care and understanding towards patients who were struggling with the new procedures. I greatly appreciated her compassionate approach. I would like to lodge a formal complaint regarding the new system and would welcome guidance on how to proceed with this.
