Terrible service for a sick baby at abbey road surgery

I want to recount our distressing experience with this medical practice today. This morning, we contacted 111 because our 15-month-old son was unwell, displaying symptoms including reduced appetite, fever, and a persistent cough. They assisted us in scheduling a GP telephone consultation for 2.20pm and confirmed he needed an in-person examination. When 2.20pm arrived, predictably, no call was received. We reached out to the surgery at 3pm, only to be informed the appointment was actually set for 4.10pm. Shockingly, the doctor didn't call until 5.40pm, and their sole response was to suggest we book an in-person appointment the following morning! We essentially wasted seven hours from our initial 111 call, with no meaningful medical guidance for our potentially seriously ill child. This level of care is absolutely unacceptable, and unfortunately, it's not an isolated incident for this practice. I strongly suspect they might be exploiting the pandemic as a convenient excuse to avoid patient consultations, particularly for vulnerable patients like infants who cannot advocate for themselves. Abbey Road Surgery should be thoroughly ashamed of their service! Their approach practically pushes patients to seek emergency department care, which I suspect might be their underlying intention.
