Fitted me in for Covid booster & flu
Always feel unwell post vaccination & work as a nurse so had a few days to recover before due at work
I attended for Covid19 and ‘flu inoculations with an appointment time of 1233hrs. I arrived at 1231hrs, was met just inside the door and directed to join the ( short) queue. I waited almost no time before being directed to one of the rooms. The nurse and the lady on the computer were very helpful and the inoculations were given quickly and efficiently - not to mention almost painlessly. I was asked if I was driving and advised to wait 10 minutes or so before setting off. The whole process was efficient and on time so I don’t think it can be improved upon.
Having tested negative for Covid for first time on 11/10/22 I was asked to make an appt for 28 days time to have the Covid booster vacc. Did have the flu vacc.
If I have a problem getting an appt I go to the surgery at 7.15am to 7.30am and wait outside.
Unless you are online at 8am exactly you will not get an appointment, and if you do find a slot by the time you've written a brief reason why the slot has gone.
When you ring at 8am and select the ring back option, when they do ring you back , all the appointments have gone, which in theory should not have happened because if you do ring back in the order your message says there should be appointments available and on 2 occasions the receptionist has put the telephone down on me.
The receptionist will also inform you there are no appointments without taking your name or asking why. Without checking someone's name how do they know they aren't having a crisis or are very ill and nit wanting to cause a bother.
It’s not easy to get an appointment
