On this occasion not a problem but can be difficult to obtain a face to face appt without speaking about your health condition in public area. Receptionists are very helpful though.

Suggested improvements
Clear support with decisions made involving patient. Professional, compassionate and knowledgeable.

[name removed] the nurse was fantastic, I had to bring my toddler along but [name removed] was very accommodating of this and was very kind with her, talking to her and making us both very welcome. [name removed] answered my questions with lots of detail which was great as some things I hadn't previously understood. Great service as always, thank you!
