Seeing your GP
Same with AXA, added bonus of being able to select doctor, with pictures
Seen my GP about 2 things in 4 years. Been excellent both times. Tried to make me speak specifically to a parruicukar GP once but managed to swerve that. Other times have been on the phone. Once we had a good old natter at the end of surgery.
I occasionally ave to try and speak to GPs. Almost impossible to get through.
Also there is loads and loads of stuff that has been brewing through lockdowns. We see it in pre-op clinic. :Loads of new diagnoses of kidney disease, anaemia, etc. All stuff that gets sent back to the GPs. Its a difficult job. Mind you some were posting how much they earned on another forum the other day and tht made me feel a lot less sorry for them. Every single GP partner earned more than me as a consultant.
Reckon I was in there for about a minute before being told I was being sent back to the specialist consultant. No Daisy Lowe types in there. Sad face.

Fascinating thread. More like Mumsnet
When I had my small problem last September. After the initial phone call I was then called by my doctor a few hours later and met him soon after. Within two weeks from that I was booked in to have a colonoscopy.
Can’t get through to my gp most of the time, when you can they are booked. They’ve just taken on ½ the patients from another local practice thats closed too, which doesn’t help.
I see a kidney specialist every 6 month too due to having a genetic kidney disease, and haven’t seen Catherine in 18 months other than via Skype
