[QUOTE="jackois, post: 2447194, member: 99684"] I had my regular annual blood test (type 1) just before the 'vial shortage' started and this was followed up with a phone consultation once the results were back. I mentioned that I hadn't had a retinopathy appointment since before the pandemic started and she followed this up, calling back later to explain they were concentrating on those who had changes on previous tests but the service was slowly returning to normal. I had the test 6 weeks later with no changes reported. Not seeing the diabetic nurse isn't a hardship as, other than foot checks, she's just following a questionaire on her pc, weight, bp and so on. I see a podiatrist every 4 months for a general foot check and have my pulses checked while I'm there, issuing a certificate that I pass on to the GP. Flu jabs have been on hold due to low stocks but I now have it this weekend coming. It's always a pleasure to speak to our reception, very cheerful and helpful, despite the practice being a large city one. All in all, I've enjoyed the changes due to the pandemic. There's never been the opportunity to have a traditional doctor/patient rellationship with a single appointment every year, but, thankfully, that means I don't have many health issues to deal with.
