Receptionist hung up after long phone queue wait
I found the reception staff at this practice to be quite unhelpful during my attempts to arrange an appointment for my child. When I called, I was given specific times to ring back, but when I did so at the suggested time, the line was disconnected while I was waiting. After trying again, I was directed to either call at a different time or use the online booking system. I managed to register on the website but was unable to complete an appointment booking. The NHS app also required me to contact the practice directly due to my child's age group. When I finally got through after a lengthy wait in the queue, the receptionist indicated they couldn't hear me clearly and ended the call without attempting to resolve the issue, despite my objections. I was very disappointed by this interaction. My child requires a routine appointment for health concerns and is in need of medical attention. The overall experience with this practice has been extremely frustrating and falls well short of the standard of care and communication I would expect. As someone who works within the NHS, I find this level of service to be quite concerning.
