I phoned two mornings last week for an appointment - 1st time the list was closed for appointments, when I phoned later asked about a future appointment was told the closest date was the end of October.
Less than a week ago I developed problems with walking any distance which caused breathlessness (which was stated is a red flag ). However, on phoning surgery was told no appointments or phone consultation available, that I needed to see another doctor (which means going to A&E).
I requested 2 appointments last year, had one urgent appointment earlier this year. I had minor surgery on my forehead and reacted to medication, face all swollen etc. I am not someone who requests appointments on a weekly basis - prior to appointments stated above I couldn’t tell you when I last seen a doctor. I only attend for annual check with nurse for blood tests etc, appointments are by phone only, good I got to phone again tomorrow.
