Receptionist blocked urgent appointment requests twice

The receptionist declined to schedule an urgent appointment on two separate occasions for an ear condition I have been experiencing for approximately two months. NHS 111 have advised me to contact them regarding antibiotics, yet I have been unable to obtain an appointment with a clinician. Additionally, I am currently on an extended waiting list for a dental procedure and have been told no appointments can be arranged until this is completed. While these matters may or may not be connected, I felt it was inappropriate for reception staff to make clinical judgments about whether a doctor could assist me, as this falls outside their scope of practice. I was also disappointed that management declined to provide the receptionist's details when I requested them for the purposes of making a formal complaint. The clinical staff are excellent and would benefit from a more supportive environment, as the reception experience has significantly impacted my overall impression of the practice. I would recommend considering alternative healthcare providers if you have not already done so.
