[QUOTE="Hopeful34, post: 2457679, member: 378858"] Pre pandemic I could book an appointment on system online at our drs, but it stopped for the pandemic, and still hasn't restarted. I can still order medication and see test results thankfully, although not if it's bloods done for a consultant. I end up having to tell the receptionists/nurses which part of their system to go into to tell me them over the phone. E consult has been switched off for months as they have got too much of a backlog. Not their fault I know, but like Karen you have to wait nearly an hour to get through on the phone, and then all the phone appointments for the day are gone. It's much quicker to drive there, providing you are well enough of course!! Again, it seems that different areas/surgeries are all able/willing to provide different levels of care to patients, and whilst the gp's are under a lot of pressure in some areas, it's also raising anxiety for a lot of patients.
