I tried s
phoning but GP receptionist was rude (tutting, sighing) & just referred me back to ANIMA

Im a nurse.
I just burst into tears at my doctors surgery.
I’d spent all last week yesterday trying to get a doctors appointment (you have to use ANIMA online system which kept going round in a loop or saying I needed 111 (which I knew I didn’t)…

I just burst into tears because I’d swapped my shifts, cancelled my grandparent duties in order to get to today’s appointment with a doctor. Yet because the system had put me with a practice nurse she couldn’t help me & I now have to wait another week

Yep you have to tell the receptionist what is wrong with you so she can put you on a triange list to see if you need an appointment with a doctor nurse practitioner nurses or a phone consult so confidentiality is out the window telling receptionist your intimate details

You don’t have to disclose to the receptionist what’s wrong either you. You can say it’s personal and confidential.

It’s everywhere now. Virtually impossible to get a doctors appointment. No doctor will do a home visit. If a home visit is requested a HCP will call. They haven’t a clue about the patient so, I’ve no confidence in them. 😕
