Receptionists give conflicting information every call

Disappointing experience overall. I have found the appointment and information systems at this practice to be problematic. On multiple occasions when I have contacted the surgery, I have received inconsistent information. When I raised concerns about the conflicting guidance I was given and the lack of progress on an ongoing matter, I was told staff were unsure why this had occurred, without receiving an apology for the confusion caused. The appointment process requires booking on the same day, and when I called at the requested time, no appointments or clinicians were available. When I asked for clarification on this, I did not receive a satisfactory explanation. During these interactions, I felt the tone of communication was patronising, particularly given that the issues stemmed from the practice's systems and information provision. When I calmly questioned these matters, my concerns were characterised as being confrontational towards staff. Overall, I felt that responsibility for these problems was not acknowledged, and my frustration at having to repeatedly follow up on the same unresolved issues was not recognised as a reasonable response to the situation.
