It started off when my dad passed away , it gave me something else to focus on cazypops, it has been very interesting and I have learnt a lot . I'm not necessarily going out to look for something but if I see anything I might certainly think about it.😊 |

Having trouble getting to sleep. It's either my arm hurting (pulled a muscle ages ago), or my knee hurting, or both. I always end up on the sofa. I tried ringing the doctors surgery for an appointment - you are number 9 in the queue. Tried later - you are number 17 in the queue! Try in the morning.

Have to wait for bosses to go out and then I can try to get an appointment. The surgery lines open at 8am and everyone is trying then. Just after 8 and I'm on my way to work.

Managed to be number 3 in the queue - not that it got me anywhere, no appointments whatsoever all week!! Ring back another time. I'm tempted to go private. I don't know how much it is for a consultation though - the word expensive springs to mind.

You should tell them it's so painful it wont wait, so you'll have to go to A&E, I bet you get an appointment then.  Failing that have you been to talk to a pharmacist? They have more powers now so may be able to give you a stronger painkiller. |

My surgery and the surgery I work at have a new system to get a gp appointment.
You sign in to an app and then you submit a request- explaining what medical problem you have .
A triage team will look at your request and I either send you a link to book an appointment online or tell you to spk to a receptionist to book an appointment.
Receptionists no longer book gp appointments until the patients request has been triaged by a admin team - it’s to stop patients all ringing at 8am to then be told they’re are no appointments left for today.
Also to stop time wasters.
If thee patient is elderly or does not have a smart phone we can put the request through for them but we cannot book a gp appointment.

In truth it's not an easy job working in the health service it must be a stressful job u get to see a patient for 15 min and expected to make a decision and that goes on all day every day it's nether good for staff or for patients

Yes it can be very frustrating.☹️I just want to give an appt to a elderly lady that you know is not a time waster and you know she generally needs to spk with a dr but we have had all our rights taken away.
All I can do is put the request through for her and hope that the triage team will give her an appointment.
Some situations are very sad 😔
