"Always an appointment available... But almost..."

Was a patient here for the 10 years I lived in the city centre.

Plus points are that you can almost always get an appointment within a week, often sooner; the telephone consultation service is great; and the surgery is OK inside.

However, I'd say for 90% of my appointments, I saw a locum doctor.

Always someone different, often very young/recently qualified and never feeling like I was getting the best care or treatment.

I'm allergic to certain antibiotics and had to explain the effects of the allergies every time as the doctor never knew my history. I don't think I actually ever saw the same doctor twice so you never build a relationship and the doctor never knows you.

The two appointments in ten years I had with actual partner doctors were excellent so maybe just make sure to request them when booking an appointment so you get the best care and some consistency.
