Since the beginning of September I have been trying to get an appointment to see someone, only to be told none available until 10 October. I ended up going to an urgent care centre to be treated for a torn ligament in my thumb! Today, because I still couldn’t get an appointment until October I accessed the minor injury unit who were great but couldn’t provide me with a sick note, I was then again told by the receptionist that I couldn’t get one without seeing a gp and again would be in October, I am now having to go back to work after a week rather than the recommended 6weeks. Wasn’t even offered an appointment at another site! Then to top it off you are recruiting new patients!! Really?? You can’t accommodate the ones you have!! When I rang to complain about the service I was told to send a letter in, didn’t realise we were in the 1980s still, gotten worse since the take over!!
