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.

    The cancelled mental health appointment was re-booked for the following week. I'm pleased to say it didn't get cancelled again. I saw the nurse who was quite helpful. She referred me to social prescribing who are apparently quite good at helping with benefit claims etc. 

    I'm going to see them next week, after a delay cause by the referral going AWOL.
