The GP practice we are with used to be great (the very few times we've used it!), you'd go in, sit down and be seen in turn.It's close to work so you could peep through the window and decide whether to wait or try your hand later.#### knows whats gone on* but nowadays (and this is pre-c19) the phone is constantly engaged and currently no-one is answering if you do manage to get a ringtone, i've been at it all morning.I ordered a repeat prescription with them online last Wednesday and as yet i've nothing to pick up and not had the normal text message to say they're on it (but did get confirmation of my request).Blood pressure tablets, irony?I had blood tests booked, they called me and bumped them into the future.Said i'd be referred to ENT for a persistent sinus infection ages ago, that plainly hasn't happened.Sadly, from what I hear ours is one of the better ones in the area, is it this shit everywhere or do I need to move somewhere less godforsaken?*Thanks not entirely true, there's an elephant in the room...

Eyeballing my last surgery pre-covid, I'd estimate two nurse appointments for every GP.

Probably more now that the profession is offloading GP-lite duties to Nurse Practitioners.
