Get my bloods done on a monthly basis prior to regular cancer treatment. I pre book an appointment a month ahead with the nurse who is always helpful and caring.
Impossible to get an appointment. Have to ring up as soon as the lines open and compete for an appointment. Once they're gone for that day, your turned away to try compete the following day. I have rang 5 days in a row and been unsuccessful at getting an appointment. My issue needs addressing but is not urgent and could wait a week or so to be seen. Asked to be booked in for a later date, they won't. Just have to ring and hope for a same day appointment. I can't take a same day appointment as I would need to give my employer notice to arrange cover for me whilst I attend either in person or phone. I informed receptionist of this and she couldn't of cared less
I have recently seen two GPs for two different issues. I felt extremely happy with the outcome of the appointments and felt hopeful about receiving support.
Since then, both GPs have failed to follow up as promised and outcomed appointments/test results as no further action. One GP has documented incorrect information and support which I specifically did not agree to within the appointment.
Appointments can sometimes be hard to get when you call first thing in a morning, but have the option of doing an econsult, which i personally prefer to do, and a doctor always gets back to me. Never had an issue in all the years I’ve been with the practice.
Availability of appointments when you work is difficult
