Shenley Green Surgery

Attended for asthma check up. Asked how I slept, asked about other symptoms and about appetite. Asked about frequency of inhalers, has a series of medications taken when needed. Did no other health checks.

Can only take two or three steps when I have an asthma attack. Told GP I would like to see my own doctor who knows about asthma - waited 5 weeks for this appointment, now another 4 to see own GP because of poor check up.

I always have a good experience with my GP

On arrival to my appointment on 23rd December I was greeted by the nurse. I found the nurse to be extremely rude and negative towards me. She implied that I was obese after measuring my waist. I thought that this could have been worded more positively and with sensitivity. I know I am slightly over weight which I am addressing but I feel some people could be adversely affected by this comment. I felt very deflated after my visit and upset. My wife went in after me and the nurse commented on the contrast in size between us which I also feel is unprofessional.
I think a more positive approach to people's health would be beneficial.
