Nice GP's but difficult to get them!
It is not just my GP surgery but all surgeries should be offering the ability to book appointments on line, I sat on the phone Tuesday for 34 mins waiting in a queue just to try and get an appointment, it's ridiculous, no wonder A&E is over used! I also think that ALL staff ie physio etc should be working shifts so that the hours 8am-8pm are covered, I am sure lists could be reduced. The nurses and some doctors have to work 24/7 but others seem to go home by 4.30pm! Since COVID it has become more and more difficult and frustrating to get a GP appointment, I feel sorry for the elderly who need the care but cannot get it. When I do see a GP they are very good and professional but it's the hurdles you have to jump before you can even get an appointment. I am also on a waiting list to see bone specialists and told there is a 28 week wait just for the initial appointment which does help with pain.If I could afford to go private I would in a heartbeat!
