My wife is trying to see a doctor, she had an mot test last year and the Doctor was supposed to phone about her blood pressure, they never did.
She put in for a repeat persciption, which was denied and was left a text message to call and make a telephone appointment.
It took well over 2 hours trying to phone after 8:00am to make an appointment, she was given a telephone appointment 2 weeks later anytime during the day.
The doctor did call but my self and my wife tried to answer her mobile phone but failed. We called the receptionist and was told the doctor would try again, They did not.
My wife filled in an online request form and the reply was to phone again after 8:00am to make another appointment.
My wife is on a "InyourArea" chat thing and there is pages and pages about how impossible it seems to get an appointment.
I have been on the NHS website to see about changing, but the current reviews are about how hard it is to get an appointments at most of the local doctors.
Are all doctors like this
Are there other ways to get an appointment apart from trying to join a telephone queue at 08:00.
Back in the old days I seem to remember calling at any time and getting an appointment in the next day or two.
