7-9 days usually.
Dreadful... That just rings of actually even a longer list, and people phoning up and just not bothering!
7-9 days usually.
Frankly I think it's pathetic! Last two times I've booked, 8 days and 7 days!
When I go to the surgery next week I'm going to complain. It's ridiculous! Basically I suspect more people are trying to book than can be seen, with a good number of people phoning up, hearing it's a week+ wait, and just saying 'don't bother!'
You cannot book in advance at my doctors, you have to phone at 8am to get an appointment for that day, if there are no appointments left you try again the next day, but I have never not got an appointment for the first day.
had really bad sinus pains (and headache) for a week and a half. I booked rang up to book an appointment and had to wait a week. By the time I went to see my doctor, my sinus pains had gone!
Stop being such a knob, if it was something serious then goto A&E and wait.

Did I suggest my arm was falling off? Did I suggest my heart has stopped beating? Was there the slightest suggestion I'm not intelligent enough to realise what merits going to A&E, or just needs a chat with a GP? Didn't think so... Stop being a truncheon!
thus proving that you didn't need to see the doctor anyway. You just needed to give it a little more time, as would have been suggested had you got to see the doctor when you first tried!
Well why complain that you have to wait to see someone who probably has more important things to do than tell you why your itchy under your arm or something else as trivial as that.
Yet you want to complain to a nurse/doctor/secretary who has no control over the waiting list to make your self feel better.
Just grow some balls and get on with your life and stop worrying about how long you must wait to see a doctor.

If your problem is not trivial go to A&E if it warrents being seen the same day, if not put up with it untill you can be seen by a GP.
From your comments you seem to think its the fault of the surgary that you are not seen the same day.
As I've said before grow some balls if you are in pain go and wait at A&E if not wait at home untill you can see your GP and get on with your life.
1) It's free. Go private if you want it speedier (I've had to £££).
What would you consider trivial? The way you put it across, there isn't any need for doctors surgeries. You either man it out or go to A&E??
It IS the surgery's fault, they are over-subscribed money grabbing ****s, do what dentists do - once they reach a certain quota they just say no.
But it's not. He payed for it. So did I. And so did you.
I made an appiontment at my doctors for a medical & Hep B injection course as part of my job.......
That was 23rd February, my appointment is 31st March !!
