Was offered same day appointment when I rang up, and when I couldn’t make that the receptionist worked around my work hours to get me the next available appointment. The ANP I saw was thorough, polite and helpful, and included me in decision making about treatment. Feeling very reassured thank you.

Seems easy enough to get an appointment to have a blood test but not to see or speak with a named doctor , quite often only nurse practitioner available.

Suggested improvements
No problems at all seeing a nurse very good.

Went to see Dr [name removed] to have a coil fitted . She was absolutely lovely ,very helpful and knowledgable and put me at ease . It was nowhere near as painful as I thought it might be .

Suggested improvements
I really can’t think of anything as it was an excellent experience .
