Same day request led to week long wait instead

Received a text message from the practice requesting contact before 10am to arrange a same-day appointment. Submitted an online form at 7:30am regarding my young child who was unwell at that time. Was called back at 1pm to be told the GP could see them a week later. My child needed care immediately, not after a week's delay. The appointment itself would have been brief. Ended up attending hospital the following day, which resulted in admission. I feel this situation could have been prevented with prompt medical attention when initially needed. The practice should be clearer with patients about appointment availability. The messaging about contacting before 10am for same-day appointments is misleading if this cannot be reliably offered. It would be better to set realistic expectations rather than encourage patients to contact the surgery with an expectation that cannot be met.
