It’s the sight off the times isn’t it. The nurse asked me to make a GP appointment because she could make a decision about markers for a blood test she thought we thought I needed. I had to fil a form
On line. The Gp replied asking me to make an appointment.
I rang and made one. I have had a text saying I had to respond to the GP request to make an appointment or my online information would be o delete
I am
Hoping I do have the appointment I made whe I arrive to see Dr Ashton on Monday next
It's not reasonable to have to disclose personal and medical information to the receptionist. It's their job to allocate appointments not take medical history.
It took 10 days to get a face to face appointment with a GP. I was first sent to a hub at Hillsborough which in my opinion was a complete waste of time. When I eventually got an appointment there was no one else waiting to see a doctor. This makes me wonder why it is so difficult to get to see a GP.
Just keep doing what you do best and you’ll make all the difference for incoming and outgoing patients.
Good surgery with attentive staff and managers.
The pharmacist did interact with me on the possible root causes as to my increased cholesterol levels, he did understand my life style changes as In the deteriorating state of my legs limiting my exercise ability isn’t helping the situation, he did suggest what could help, but unfortunately, and not his fault, he can’t make the decision to increase my medication. That’s a morning off work to have an appointment with a health professional that can’t actually make a decision, was a waste of my time. A week has gone by now still nothing.
