Referrals through GP take a long time

September 16, 2022
Sometimes straight forward and sometimes less straight forward. A lot of the time staff are stressed because its busy which is understandable. Referrals through GP take a long time. Main GP are good at what they do.

Out of hours (weekends, bank holidays) are the worst. Any worries and concerns over this time is stressful.

A&E is always a pain

A&E is always a pain. My son being an out patient you would have thought he would be a priority being well known since a baby. Other than this issue the doctors and nurses are all very polite and caring. They listen to the parents and take our worries and feelings into account.

Through Covid it was terrible

Through Covid it was terrible. My daughter needed my support but the security guard would not let two of us in but was allowing other families. Felt targeted.
