I need to make an appointment to discuss HRT. It should be so simple; Call the practice, be allocated an appointment may be in several weeks time but at least I would have it scheduled. It's a routine type of appointment that I have every right to. So far I've tried calling, but I'm told that today's lists are full. I've also tried the Anima web app 2 days running but this is also full before 9am (because no-one can get anywhere by phone). I work for a living and I have to commute so I don't have the time to sit on the phone trying to get an appointment or to spend days trying to fill a form in on the phone that closes before I have time to even look at it. I know my appointment isn't urgent or life threatening, but it is distressing me. I don't understand why they haven't got a few non-urgent, routine appointments during the day that they can allocate weeks ahead so that people like me can be seen. I have many other experiences but not enough characters. To sum up; don't expect to get any appointments if you are patient with this practice because they just don't have the capacity. Apparently though they are accepting new patients!
