"Errr ... useless"

About: Wycliffe Surgery

New to the area so trying to register. Half an hour on hold, so gave up and registered on-line. Called for an appointment. Forty minutes later I spoke to reception - apparently it takes up to a week for the change over to occur. A few days later, i received a call inviting me to a "new patient" appointment, in six weeks time! I asked if there was an earlier appointment available as I'm currently unwell, but no. Apparently six weeks was the soonest available appointment. So there's a waiting list essentially to get on the next waiting list. Yep. Covid has been tough on the NHS, but it's also been the excuse to stop offering any kind of sensible service level. Needless to say I'm now on line looking for an alternative to Wycliffe, which is of no practical use whatsoever. No wonder people go to A&E.
