I telephoned and for an appointment with a doctor on that day, following my telephone conversation with a doctor on 111. Instead of getting an appointment with a dctor, I was given an appointment with the nurse practitioner.

Suggested improvements
To me it was important that I spoke to a doctor face-to-face s that he could see what the problem was. Three weeks for an appointment with a doctor was too long to wait.

Appointment times are hard to get and yet when in the surgery the waiting rooms are empty the used to be full, difficult to understand.

Suggested improvements
