GP after hours

"GP after hours"

About: New Victoria Hospital (Glasgow) NHS 24 / NHS 24 (111 service)

(as the patient),

I had an emergeny that after all occured not to be as serious as I thought so to start with. At first I called 111 and asked for help. The Lady who answered my call was very polite and helpful, she organized a GP appointment for me quickly.

I went to see a Doctor immediately, and I was really happy with care I received. Professional, friendly and very caring.

I just want to say a big thank you.

I work in a small team in NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde which seeks to involve patients and carers in the work of the NHS. The biggest part of my role is in managing feedback projects across the Board area, one of which is Patient Opinion. It is my job to give our patients and carers the opportunity to give us feedback, and to make sure that this is passed to the right people to help us improve the services we provide.

I appreciate you taking the time to write to us and will pass on your feedback to the Out of Hours service.
