I have never been able to see a doctor urgently, when I needed one. << >> Sort your reception out, queue too long and too slow. << >> Surgeries at weekends? << >> Thats for the practice to decide. Complaint- there are too many patients already. << >> The appointment system is appalling, stressful and difficult. I was told i could not book in advance. Appointment is for in 1 MONTH! << >> The booking system needs much improvement. One should be able to see a doctor of ones choice of a future date. << >> The reception staff's attitude definitely needs attention. Perhaps some re-training on how to handle patient confidentiality? << >> Time taken to get ears syringed << >> To have an appointment with doctor of choice (non-urgent) within 7 days. << >> Train reception staff and nurses on their interpersonal skills. << >> Trying to get through on the telephone is appalling. Then if you do get through after 75 repeat dials, it is extremely unlikely that you will be offered an appointment. You will be told to try again the next day. <<
>> Very difficult to get through on the phone in the early morning. << >> Waiting times are always past the appointment time. << >> We have to travel thee miles so need a car and we find it very difficult to park. I don't know just what you could do but move << >> You used to keep a few appointments for the day, if you phoned early enough. Now you have to wait 2-3 weeks to see the same doctor again. <<
