Notably unhelpful in filling an urgent private prescription. Doctor needed to rewrite on local scrip but only on an “admin slot” of which none were available

Having had a consultation with a heart specialist who advised starting to take Bisoprolol immediately to help slow a very fast heart rate. He gave me a prescription for 2 weeks supply. I of course went straight to my local surgery's pharmacy only to be told that there was a procedure which it appears would take days to complete involving rewriting the Spire prescription on NHS scrip and having it approved by a doctor in one of their "admin slots" of which none were available. I was understandably anxious already and being told that I needed to drive a 24 mile return to have the Spire prescription filled by a commercial pharmacy when I could see the drug on a shelf in the Litcham pharmacy was extremely frustrating and did not help my already heightened anxiety. I did drive to the commercial pharmacy and will be able to start taking the bisoprolol today but this is surely not good patient care?
