There is no such thing as a sick note for children. Please do NOT contact your GP for one of these. If your child's school has asked for one, then the school should put the request in writing to the practice with your written consent or it is NOT a genuine request.

Hearing NHS 111 so overloaded tonight that they are closing calls and directing all online as no capacity. If true, how rundown does the NHS have to be until the public realise the impact our government had on our healthcare service? Good luck to our patients & tired workforce.

My day in GP: Closed triage list as it was over 60 at 9am (never happened before) Finished morning clinic at 1342 (meant to finish at 1100). Afternoon clinic starts at 1330 Now finished PM clinic (practice closed at 1830) Oh and have a visit to do still... How was your Monday?

If a stadium has a capacity of 100k and 150k people want tickets, then 50k will miss out. It doesn’t mean that the match isn’t played. If a GP surgery can offer 200 appts a day and 500 people want them, then 300 people will not get seen. This does not mean your GP is not working
