Making a doctors' appointment

mp500

I finally plucked up the courage to register with an NHS GP surgery a few months ago. It went nice and easily; just a simple form and questionnaire. That's the first time I've had an NHS GP since 2017.

I finally plucked up the courage to book an appointment the other day. So I went to my local surgery... and it was unexpectedly closed. So I went into town where the main surgery is. They have a 'triage' system where they take some basic details then get someone to telephone you to book the actual appointment.

Of course no one ever bothered calling.

  • I'm lucky that my doctors don't do this, there is the 8am scramble for urgent that day morning appointments, but afternoon appointments are bookable and longer, so as if you have something non urgent that needs a bit more time to discuss then you can and you can ask for the doctor you prefer
