Hi,
Naively I rang yesterday to make an appointment for my daughter at 9:00 to be told all that days appointments have gone as they go within 20 minutes of opening the phone lines at 8:00.
The earliest pre-book appointment is ten days away so try again tomorrow.
FF to this morning, constant engaged tone from dead on 8:00 with three of us all dialing and redialing managed to get an answer after 16 minutes and get the last slot this morning.
Whilst not an emergency it is urgent and certainly can't wait ten days.
There is a very good chance had I been ringing alone I wouldn't have got an appointment at all.
I don't bother the Drs too often and it was only earlier this year you could easily get an appointment on the day or pre-book a day or two in advance.
The really frustrating thing is that they don't have a system that lets you queue. You have to repeatedly hang up and try again and again and again. It's pot luck . I checked my call log and I had dialed 23 times.
Perhaps it's not very productive to be told you are 23rd in line
Any who, after my moan back to my question, how long do you have to wait on average for an appointment to see your GP ?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
