"Out of hours GP experience"

About: Leighton Hospital

Having telephoned 111 and then speaking to a clinician I was given an appointment to the out of hours on bank holiday Sunday. I was seen within 10 minutes of my given appt time. I saw an excellent out of hours GP who after examining me arranged immediate admission to north staffs with a quinsy which required immediate attention. This may not be the same experience for everyone but I was thankful for the efficiency and professionalism that I received thank you !

Thank you for your recent comments on NHS choices with regard to the GP Out of Hours service. Bank holidays are one of our busiest times when we normally receive over 500 calls. We are really pleased to hear that you had such a positive experience when visiting our Service and hope that you are now well on your way to a full recovery.
