i was thinking of changing GP's, so checked on one practice, to find that they have one and a half GP's and one full time nurse, i am still perplexed over this, its not as though its a small area, pretty sure they would have a large patient base, was told by the man on the reception that for appointments its roughly a two week wait, unless you phone on the morning, so one doctor in essence with the service of another for half the week, and a full time nurse.
i decided against that one, the rating was dreadful, and shocked that it only had one gp on with another for part of the week, and one nurse.
its not a small area,
Just looked mine up, 19230 patients! It's the best medical practice I've ever had though, most of the time I can get an appointment same day if I need one and with the callback scheme a lot can be sorted over the telephone which is so much easier and efficient.
i guess until i find what's going on, will stay put, but i confess the mess up with them the other day made me totally pissed off, the pain is constant and no way at the moment to get help
