Difficult to get F2F appointments with GPs sometimes.

Suggested improvements
The general public don't understand why so many GPs appear to work part-time

GP’s seem so distant. You rarely see one of those. Packaging very good but lacking in substance/empathy.

Suggested improvements
Make patients feel more human,, like they are an individual. Sometimes feel as if patients are more of a product like it’s a factory and at the end of the day you switch the conveyor belt of and go home.

A simple follow up appointment is four weeks. That seems very poor, considering each time I visit there have never been more than two patients waiting.

Suggested improvements
Provide more appointments for diabetic reviews.
