Been atvthis drs all my life, it’s never been as awful as the is now, Struggle to get a appointment for my 8 year old asthmatic son, because no matter what time you ring you can’t get in. Especially hard for single working people/ parents like myself who would find sit & wait everyday very hard, today has been the 2nd time in a few months that I’ve had to take my son to the local A&E department (fantastic officiant service) to be looked at & given medication such as steroids or antibiotics to clear bad infection either because you cannot get in to see a doctor for love nor money or you take time off work, lose money to go to sit and wait and are just fobbed Off with “its viral” which in my sons case turns into something worse every single time, rude receptionists, incompetent asthma nurses.. struggle to get a prescription because there’s no repeat prescription line to order, Awful for people who can’t get out to order their tablets in person so end up going without crucial drugs. Awful, awful practice. Zero trust or care about its patients whatsoever.
