Receptionist refused to help with dismissive attitude

I contacted the reception team on behalf of someone who had recently relocated just outside the practice boundary and was attempting to register elsewhere. When seeking to arrange an appointment for a medical matter requiring ongoing medication, the practice declined to provide an appointment, citing the patient's new address as outside their catchment area. However, the practice appeared to be in the early stages of initiating formal removal procedures rather than having completed the required notice period. During this conversation, the receptionist's manner became dismissive and unhelpful. Additionally, when I inquired about how to lodge a formal complaint, no guidance or information was offered regarding the complaints process. The overall experience suggested a lack of flexibility in handling a transitional situation and a concerning absence of support when seeking to raise concerns through appropriate channels. The service fell short of expectations regarding patient care and responsiveness to feedback.
