Been very good with ongoing health problems
The surgery has been very good with my ongoing health problems. Referrals have been made promptly. I find them generally good, I attend regularly for diabetic checks and the nurses are wonderful. I have always received good continuity of care but recently my GP retired so the personal levels of care I previously received has now ended. I am hoping that I get to know a new doctor and have the same level of care. One problem that I do feel needs to be addressed is that you can only discuss one issue. On one day I was attending about one problem and wanted to discuss how I was experiencing excessive tiredness and exhaustion. I was told that I was nearing the 15 minute time limit and that I would have to book another appointment. I got another appointment for later that day but this meant that I had to pay for transport for two visits to the doctors on the same day. I budget accordingly to pay for taxi's to the GP because of my poor health but it seemed quite unreasonable that I could not just mention this to the doctor whilst already at an appointment.
