Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

Clowns is a polite version of what they could be called, their are far stronger adjectives I could have used but didn't.

Maybe just stick to describing what they did, rather than calling them anything?

Though I completely understand your frustration, having encountered similar people in official positions in the past who you wonder how they ever got their jobs, grammar.

Yes, I'm having a nightmare trying to get a follow up appointment. I saw a Dr at Tessa Jowell GP practice on 22nd January who referred me for blood tests. Had first blood test on 24th January. A whole month later, they told me it had been sent 'in the wrong container'. So I did a second blood test on 25th Feb. Was then sent a text saying that one hadn't been processed. I then did an online, private 1 day blood test to get my result and am now trying to get a follow up apponintment with the GP. Requested appointment 7 days ago on Ask My GP app. So far no reponse...In the meantime my symptoms are getting worse.

Bloods are done on the ground floor, never had any problems with them doing them. And I've found the Tessa Jowell GP Surgery to be really proactive. Perhaps pop in and have a chat with reception and establish what has happened.

I saw my GP at The Gardens on Wednesday, had blood tests yesterday at Tessa Jowell (not the surgery, the blood testing place)  and had a text from my GP surgery this afternoon with the results.

Your experience sounds appalling.
