Terrible service and unhelpful staff at practice

The quality of this medical practice has drastically deteriorated. It feels more like navigating a nightmare than a healthcare partnership. I'm perplexed by their e-consultation approach, which seems contrary to the traditional phone-based appointment system most practices still use. Recently diagnosed with shingles and unwell for weeks, I simply wanted a professional to confirm my suspicion, especially given my work in a primary school and responsibilities caring for my immunocompromised son and unwell mother. The female receptionist was notably unhelpful, though the young male staff member was courteous and supportive. Bizarrely, the waiting room was completely empty, leaving one to wonder where patients actually receive care. I was redirected to complete an online assessment and told to visit a pharmacist. Fortunately, the West End pharmacist quickly and professionally identified my shingles. Despite medication being her primary role and having other patients waiting, she provided more assistance than the practice. In future, I'll likely bypass the practice entirely and consult directly with the pharmacist - or potentially burden A&E services, which the app seemingly suggests as an alternative.
