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 Went to the gp surgery for a NHS physio appointment. 

    Receptionist said it will be a long wait and the physio will phone me. Asked me which part of body? Arm. The normal turn around is 2 weeks, but the physio was off.

    I was expecting an actual appointment.

    Just wanted to know if it's muscle or soft issue injury. Can't raise my arm 180 degrees. 

    This is on going since August. 

    The surgery is going downhill. Some people got transport and registered with more reliable surgery.

    I hope you get seen to soon. I've had good experiences with NHS physiotherapists but that was a very long time ago.
