"Take good care of my son"

They always take good care of my son. Sometimes you have to be a bit pushy with what we need. They see him when he needs them.

"The never got back to me."

The triage occupational therapist told me to call them to get an appointment and they never got back to me. It's so frustrating and making me worse.

The call back service for appointments is very good. If there are no appointments they will send you to Badger.

"It can be difficult to get appointments"

I don’t really have a problem with the service here, they are quite good. I stick to one doctor who is very good. It can sometimes be difficult to get an appointment even if you call as soon as they open. If it is too difficult I call 111 and they get me an appointment at the hospital as it is quicker. While my usual doctor here is good when I have had to see other doctors I haven’t been satisfied with the care I have received.

"See a different doctor every time"

If it's an emergency then they're really fast. I see different doctors all the time. I also have to explain each time which isn't good.

"No appointments"

Most of the time I see a locum doctor. There is no continuity of care. Very difficult to get an appointment, especially emergency ones.
They called us and booked us an appointment for flu vaccines.

"They are just okay"

They're just okay. I don't like going there because the doctors don't really listen. You barely get an appointment and when you eventually get one after a long wait the doctors just talk and don't listen. The receptionists are okay but the rest is not good.

"It's difficult getting an appointment."

The GP is alright I suppose. It's just getting an appointment when your working is hard. You have to call at 8am or go into the surgery and you can't get an appointment. It's wrong. A bit more support for working people is needed.

"All appointments have gone"

I don’t go for myself, go for the kids but they don’t listen. Terrible to get an appointment. You start ringing at 8:30 and lucky if you get through at 9am and then all appointments have gone.

"Could be more helpful with mental health"

I don't feel they do well with mental health. The doctor made me feel like a hypochondriac when I needed mental health support. I ended up getting support from my children's nursery who referred me to a support worker and Womens Aid for support. The doctors could have been helpful and referred me to a NHS service.

"Referred me on an emergency pathway"

They saw me straight away but it did take a long time on the phone. You can be on the phone for half an hour then there's no appointments left. I told them my symptom and they said they would refer me on an emergency pathway.

"Try their best"

I can get appointments but I can wait a long time on the phone to get that appointment and get through. They are trying their best, everyone's under stress at the moment.

"Absolutely useless"

Can I get an appointment, you're joking. They wouldn't even come out for me when I was ill. When I'm bad I just have to call the ambulance straight away. Absolutely useless.
