"Solihull Healthcare Partnership Appointments…"

About: Bernays & Whitehouse Medical Partnership

Solihull Healthcare Partnership system of booking appointments does not work. Up to now I have visited a surgery 3 times to obtain an appointment. First time no appointments "come back tomorrow at 8.30 and you will get an appointment". Second time at 8.10am queue of approximately 20 patients outside waiting to get in "No appointments". Third time got there before 8.00am and again a long queue of patients - no point in waiting, there will be nothing left. There were elderly people waiting to get an appointment who had been there since 7.45am that is terrible. Why can't we go back to the system as it was and go to our surgery and book an appointment with the receptionist there? Over the years I have, most times, seen my Doctor when necessary who I can talk to and have respect for but seriously considering having to leave Solihull Healthcare Partnership which is sad. I have a heart condition and would like to discuss my medication with "my" GP. Yes, I have tried phoning but by the time you speak to someone there is nothing left, or you get cut off. I am sure the Doctors are doing their best - it's just getting to see them is the problem.
