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.

Was offered same day appointment when I rang up, and when I couldn’t make that the receptionist worked around my work hours to get me the next available appointment. The ANP I saw was thorough, polite and helpful, and included me in decision making about treatment. Feeling very reassured thank you.

Seems easy enough to get an appointment to have a blood test but not to see or speak with a named doctor , quite often only nurse practitioner available.

Suggested improvements
No problems at all seeing a nurse very good.
