Waiting hours with no appointment system in place

The appointment system at this practice is quite informal. Prior to the pandemic, attending involved spending considerable time in the waiting area under a first-come, first-served arrangement where patients themselves needed to monitor their position in the queue. During my initial visit following a transfer to this practice, I encountered significant issues with my medication management. I was informed that my current prescription was considered too costly for the NHS and that I shouldn't be taking it, despite my medical background clearly supporting its necessity. This position was only reconsidered when I raised my concerns based on my records, suggesting the clinician had not thoroughly reviewed my history beforehand. Additionally, referrals that were discussed were never actioned. When I requested that my prescription be sent to my pharmacy in advance so I could collect my refill at a convenient time before my supply ran out, I was told this request was too inconvenient to accommodate and was declined. Overall, this has been a disappointing experience.
