"Stressful and difficult to obtain servicr"

I have tried over the past few months to obtain a Gp appointment as I am high risk re prostrate cancer my father , my Uncle both died if Prostrate cancer and my two brothers developed pc , hence my concern at 70 years of age , I have now developed nocturia 7 phones later I am informed I now have to complete. Form on line which will be submitted to the Gp in 48 hrs for review to decide if I need an appointment or a PSA test etc, what happens if I cannot access on line ? What happens if the symptoms increase such as harmaturia ? Why do they not have qualified nursing staff to triage all potential GP appointments? Especially as they can decide urgent or routine ones , this service makes one feel insignificant! I had an MI in December and not one call by any level of staff to check on me. Time to raise issues ( with evidence I have collated) to the commissioners, let’s see what red flags have been previously been missed !
