Easy to get an appointment for flu jab but not Covid nor ordinary GP appointment.

Suggested improvements
The organisation of Covid boosters was and remains a shambles although this was/ is not due to the JCP practice alone. The broader question of GP availability remains problematic and certainly inhibits me from using the service. The solution seems simple but is not - make more face/to- face GP appointments available.

After waiting in a queue for a call to be answered there is then a recorded insignificant message, which can take up to 30 minutes, you are then told you can't see a doctor for up to two weeks. So not good at all.

Suggested improvements
This visit was for 'flu jabs and was very well organised and the staff all very friendly and helpful.
