GP Wait Times - your experience please….

That post is not what the warning was issued for.

Plus receptionists controlling access to GPs is relevant to the topic.

I won't be engaging any further and the mod can delete or remove whatever they like. Its not worth my time or effort.

But this kind of BS is why this forum is dying.

Good job 👏

Either my standards are very low or I seem to have the best GP! When it's for a repeat prescription, I usually phone for an appointment 2-3 weeks in advance. Its a really busy surgery so to avoid any panics with the prescription running out I ring a few weeks ahead.

If I'm sick and need an appointment, they will squeeze me in even though its like a conveyor belt of appointments. A few years ago I had the winter vomiting bug and at day 5 I needed help. I thought he'd throw me out the door, but he was so so good and kind. Same for the kids in fact he'd probably see the kids before me 😀. My eldest had a few issues last year and my goodness the gp was terrifically accommodating.

There may be a couple of times that aren't coming to mind that it didn't work out, but I can't recall them now. Overall it works OK.
