"Friendly Practice."

As with many, if not most, GP Practices since the height of the Covid pandemic, I had quite a wait (> 2 weeks) to get a face to face GP appointment following triage of the online form.

I appreciate that services are stretched and this current government are not helping but further undermining the situation with under funding. But something has to give. Patients should be able to make appointments within days and not weeks. This situation leads to patients presenting at A&Es inappropriately when they should be seen by a GP in a more timely manner.

Having said the above...the clinician I saw at my visit was excellent. The care I received was exemplary and all my concerns were addressed. In fact I have always had a good service from the health professionals at this practice once I get to see them.
