It is not so difficult to get an initial appointment but I had to wait over a week to get a blood test.

Suggested improvements
The two appointments I had with [name removed] were both very thorough. A very good experience.

Had to ring at 0800 to get an appointment, but I was able to get a same day, face to face, appointment, which was great.

Because Dr. [name removed] explained my problem and a course of action very well and clearly. The surgery was clean, the receptionists very polite and helpful a nd it was easy to get an appointment and sooner than I expected.

Suggested improvements
Sorry, can't think of anything.

Helpful kind honest receptionists but it does take time to get GP appointments, but I also appreciate the GP I wish to see ( for continuity on this issue ) works very limited hours at the moment.so that's inevitable. Took a few weeks to get a blood test which it would be good if that could be a bit shorter.

Suggested improvements
Have more GPs/clinicians for blood work to reduce waitlists..... (sorry!)
