My experience was excellent in every respect. My doctor diagnosed my problem promptly and explained it and the necessary treatment clearly.

Suggested improvements
Nothing at all.

It was all very efficient

Suggested improvements
I think the health check was very good but it was weighted towards alcohol consumption - I think there should be more precise questions about diet and exactly what people eat since many people are obese and need help.

I had to wait three weeks for an appointment which was a telephone app after that too. I had said how stressed I was feeling and things I had going on which is a very difficult conversation to have via phone, I felt I wasn’t really listened too, and the experience added to my stress, I’m due back at work next week and although don’t feel ready, equally don’t want the stress of waiting for telephone call for weeks on end!!

Suggested improvements
A quicker face to face app, and listened fully to what I was explaining,
