Referred to A&E by 111 advisor following consultation & referral to attend within 1hr.
Arrived at A&E and was booked in straight away, initial assessment done with nurse @ 9.20am who advised she was adding me to GP list, only 2 patients ahead of me, shouldn’t take long.
I wasn’t seen by GP @ 12.30 for a 5 minute consultation, diagnosis and prescription
How is it acceptable that patients who need a 5 minute consultation are being referred to A&E and waiting for over 3 hrs to be seen for treatment.
The whole NHS culture is a shambles & simply not good enough
How can a GP justify seeing 3 patients in 3 hours ?
"Poor practice"
