I filled in an e consult form yesterday morning , received a telephone call two hours later and was seen in surgery at 2 pm that afternoon
Well done Claremont. Great service
I have been with this practice for over 70 years and never in all that time have I been unable to get an appointment with my designated doctor, but this week I have tried every day and been told “no appointments until the end of February”. I was told by the last receptionist to call each day at 8 o’clock to see if there was a slot and I would then be seen probably 2 days later. So tried that this morning, dead on 8. No answer. Then, each time I dial, I’m told it’s busy but can use call back only to be told the service is not available. Finally, at 20 past eight I get put on hold, wait 10 minutes, still waiting and give up. Tried several times after and still get the same results
What is one supposed to do to get an appointment at this surgery
I am 81 years old, recently lost my husband and suffering severe pain in my hip making it painful to walk and keeping me awake at night
Suppose I’d better start trying again!!!!!!
It is impossible to get a diagnosis or prescription! Whether you have difficulty breathing or an allergic reaction, the answer is: "No appointments for the next 5 weeks!"!! In 5 weeks time I have either torturesome healed on my own, died of my condition or committed suicide over pain and neglect! Nobody needs a 5 weeks appointment! And when you ask for an emergency appointment, they make sure you are intimidated enough to never dare doing that again! They should at least always have petitions at reception to let the current Health Secretary know, that the NHS is dead! Getting rid of the sick and the elderly due to death by neglect is a form of social cleansing!!
I phoned on Thursday after my local pharmist told me I should get a mole on my neck looked at. Receptionist so helpful gave me a appointment with Dr Abbot a couple of hours later. Then after seeing her she made me a appointment with Dr Thomas who I had never seen before. He was so good arranging nurses and his time he did it there and then. It feel so much better a few days later. So a big thank you to all concerned. Caroline collyer.
Excellent thank you
