It is difficult to have to

Suggested improvements
It is difficult to start phoning at 08;00 and not being able to get through, and if one holds on for some time one is put on a long queue. I understand that urgent cases should be able to see a doctor or a nurse on the day, but one should be able to make an appointment with someone else rather than one's.own GP in one or two days without having to queue so early in the morning.

The receptionists on the phone and at the desk were very helpful and I was pleased that I got an appointment the same day. I saw [name removed] who was also very friendly and helpful.

Didn't see the point of going to see someone then waiting for them to get back saying if Dr thinks things are ok

Suggested improvements
Have people who can prescribe things you need
