I used to go to Grove Park Surgery until we moved to Devon. We can ring up anytime during the day and the Doctor will ring you back within half an hour. If the GP thinks you need to be seen they will see you face to face the same day. I do mean anytime in the day, I have rung at 3pm and got to see the GP. You can't make an appointment in advance except for the Nurse. Also we can ring the medication line and order your repeat prescriptions. They will be sent to the chemist of your choice the same day. You might think because it is Devon there are less people but we don't live in a tiny village we live in a main town and because our practice is run so well they have had to put a cap on more patients joining. It works very well and I can't understand why other practices can't work the same way. We even had good cover over the pandemic. My son still lives local to W4 and his GP is still Grove Park Surgery. |
