Getting an appointment at this surgery has always been difficult and not surprisingly during the Covid-19 pandemic it has not got any better. I have been quoted waiting times of 4 weeks for an appointment during non Covid-19 times and during these Covid-19 times it seems you generally have to be actually dying in order to speak to a GP, seems you get redirected to the practice nurses for any other ailments other than dying.
The other issue with this practice is that there seems to be a high turnover of doctors. There seems to be quite a regular change of faces so you can't be sure the GP you've seen will necessarily even be there for your next visit if you need continuing care. I know that the doctor who takes over your care will fully brief themselves on your needs etc, but it is quite disconcerting to see that level of turnover of staff and one wonders what the reason may be.
