Went in on Friday. I asked if I could discuss another issue and was (politely) told that because it’s a ten minute appointment that I’d have to come back again to discuss that issue.
Which seemed…well both shit and a recipe for absolute disaster given how difficult it is for most people to see their GP even once.
So, was she right or should I be more brazen next time?
Mine let’s you book a double appointment for multiple issues - which is good because it took almost 2 years for me to find a GP accepting new patients, that accepted that I was in their catchment area (my previous GP, less than 5 minutes walk away, decided I wasn’t in their catchment area any more and removed me from their practice. The 4 nearest ones, all a mile away or less also agreed I wasn’t in their catchment area). Anyway I’ve got one an hour’s walk away and I’m glad of it. Oh, and my point being after waiting 2 years for an appointment (and the extra 2 months from registering), I had quite a few things I needed them to check over!
