Sometimes you struggle to get through on the phone especially certain times of the day, you could be waiting for a while before getting through

Suggested improvements
If possible have more than one person on the phone calls

I went for a flu jab at 9.18 and I was outbid the surgery by 9.20 even though there was a bug queue.

Waiting so long for a GPs appointment is very poor

Suggested improvements
You need to be more efficient. Why have I had to book a flu jab and a covid jab on two different days, give them both at once like other surgeries do. Same for annual blood tests

Whilst it is easier to get a face to face now it can sometimes be weeks away leaving you to worry or the symptoms ease so you tend to cancel

Suggested improvements
The booster and flu jabs were organised very well at the surgery so no complaints
