I didn't received a call until 00:35 by which time I had fallen asleep after a day caring for a very sick toddler. I called around 4pm and was told to expect a call withing 6 hours. It was regarding my one year old who has since been diagnosed with hand, foot and mouth.

You didn’t call me within expected timescales. I eventually received a call from a GP over 5 hours after my initial call to NHS 111 & ended up seeking the support of the walk in centres in Skelmersdale & Ormskirk. The out of hours GP’s were based in the Ormskirk Walk In Centre and despite being told by NHS 111 that they had spoken to someone in the out of hours GP service & arranged for them to see me and my son together, the Walk In Centre staff saw my son and I was sent away to another Walk In Centre with a shorter wait time. An out of hours GP eventually called me whilst I was at the Skelmersdale Walk In Centre, did not provide any help and was quite rude, suggesting the situation was of my own making; which it was not. The communication and treatment was poor.

Suggested improvements
Literally everything about my entire experience.

I had lost my pain medication and was told I had to speak to a GP as it was pain medication before I rang. I FINALLY got through and was not told much Information about what would happen next. I explained as it was pain medication I would need ti speak to a GP. She said “Someone would be in touch” I got a call at midnight and at 6am. I was finally sorted at 6am by out of hours GP

Suggested improvements

I was very unsure whether or not I needed medical attention so using the nhs questions it guided me to an out of hours gp and I was very lucky from their advice they sent me to Southport a&e from their to find out I could be dealing something more serious than I thought. If it wasn’t for the out of hours gp I would have ignored it leaving my condition to worsen.

No conditions

Suggested improvements
No GP available as only ANP on duty who admited only a GP could deal with the case, this is a re occuring issue with community referrals, Leading to delays in contacting GPs during surgery hours.

The GP answered all our questions with no problem and treated us with respect. He acknowledged our concerns and validated our feelings

Suggested improvements
111 took hours to ring back after saying we needed to discuss the steps going forward with a clincian within 1 hour

came in late night, the nurse who i spoke to told me i had appendicitis. just sent me home and told me to wait till it gets worse and she wouldn’t help me until it did. no care advise or written documents. 24 hours ended up back in a&e. she said i didn’t look unwell enough to be seen properly by doctors in a&e

Suggested improvements
could have given me care advise, could have been seen by a doctor. maybe some painkillers or advised which painkillers would help. i think if this happened i wouldn’t have ended up back in a&e a day later in more severe pain.

Very good care, went to walk in centre after attempting and failing to get appointment via 111. (It took 9 hours for 111 to call me back.) The receptionist wasnt kind and caring, quite formal . The first nurse was ok but didn’t explain that I would be seeing a nurse practitioner. Communication could be improved. The high scores were given for the excellent care and communication by the nurse practitioner
