Turned away after waiting through reception delays

I was running behind schedule for my appointment, which had taken several weeks to arrange. I made multiple calls during my journey to notify the practice of my delay. When I arrived, there was a further wait while the receptionist dealt with another patient's prescription matter. Once the receptionist checked with the clinician who was to see me, I was told I would not be able to be seen. The receptionist mentioned that there were no available slots for quite some time. This seemed inconsistent with the online system, which appeared to show appointment availability. I found this experience confusing and questioned how such a system functions in practice. Having been a long-standing member of the community and someone who does not frequently access the practice's services, I found this situation disappointing. It felt as though the practice could have been more flexible and taken my individual circumstances into account rather than applying rules in such a rigid manner.
