"In the past week I have had 2 occasions to try to make an appointment. Firstly for me, as I work full time it is impossible to book when at work as I cannot be waiting to initially get through & then have a doctor call me to assess whether I need to see them, so I waited for a day off! After taking 45 minutes to get through I then was on hold for a further 20 minutes until able to speak to the reception. I was then told I would have to wait for a phone appointment some time between 4.30 & 5.30. I found this appointment totally impersonal, never being able to see or speak to the same doctor twice. Today my son was home from work, he tried for 2 hours until getting the message only emergency appointment available. He gave up. Even I could see how inflamed & swollen his tonsils were so walked to the surgery in Winsley only to be told he could have a nurse appointment tomorrow morning. He was hoping not to have another day off work but now has no choice. There was only one person waiting in the surgery, It appears to me that the system is now completely broken down, doctors are spending too much time on impersonal phone calls which surely must cost much needed money. The same day appointment system just isn’t practical a) for workers like me who want to book when they know they have a day off b) with everyone trying to make an appointment for that day the phone is just constantly engaged! No wonder patients get irritated!"
