It isn’t particularly easy to get an appointment within a week.

Suggested improvements
When you invite patients to book online, which includes providing some detail about the condition, please respond within 48 hours (preferably sooner). I did this a week ago and, so far, you have been silent.

It's not too bad to get an appointment though there is longish time to see a Dr though when really necessary the receptionists are super at trying to get one. My experience yesterday with nurse [name removed] was as always really good. It's just my problematic legs!!

Suggested improvements
Lots of patients all over UK would dearly be able to see the same Dr. Not that I have any problems with who I've seen but one feels more secure with someone who knows you.

Totally let down by every one. Need bloods that the practice nurse could not get. Need treatment but at this rate nothing is happening. Please help me to regain a full and normal life.

Suggested improvements
Prioritise patients who need help, with awful conditions. Stop cancelling appointments when some patients need serious help.

Always easier to arrange an appointment in person. On this occasion an appointment was available within a week- but it was for ongoing treatment. Also wasn’t to see one of the doctors, which helped.
