It is not easy to get an apptmt at the surgery in under four weeks. To get a telephone apptmt you have to start ringing at 8am

Suggested improvements
I should have picked the doctor up on a comment she made.

Easy by text for flu vaccination. My husband does not find it easy to get an appointment.

Suggested improvements
My appointment was just for a flu vaccine. All fine for me. A little confusion with clinic A, B, C. Just an observation but there were 2 or 3 people trying to queue with mobility problems- perhaps they could have been fast tracked through.

Sometimes you struggle to get through on the phone especially certain times of the day, you could be waiting for a while before getting through

Suggested improvements
If possible have more than one person on the phone calls

I went for a flu jab at 9.18 and I was outbid the surgery by 9.20 even though there was a bug queue.
