I find them very rude
Getting an appointment is difficult. Reception staff ask what the problem is. I said it was confidential, but they said they need to know so the GP has a note of it before they see me. so I disclosed. However, when I saw the GP they did not know why I was there, so I do not believe what they said. They are not medically trained and are the gatekeepers. I find them very rude with it too.
