Same-day appointments always fully booked by morning

I have been a patient at this practice since the late 1990s and have noticed a significant decline in the quality of care over the years. The surgery operates an appointments system where same-day slots fill up quickly, making it difficult to secure a consultation. I have concerns about the doctor's availability given the size of the patient list, and I question whether the single-handed practice model is genuinely in patients' best interests or primarily a business decision. My experiences have left me feeling the doctor can be dismissive and unhelpful during appointments. I was particularly concerned about a significant delay in my diagnosis, which I believe should have been identified much sooner, leading to more serious health consequences and subsequent treatment. My mother has also had negative experiences during her visits and has been upset by the manner in which she was treated. Overall, I feel the standard of care falls well short of what patients deserve from the NHS. I have decided to transfer to another surgery as I believe I will receive better support and attention elsewhere.
