I cannot get an appointment

"I cannot get an appointment"

About: General practices in Lanarkshire

(as the patient),

I am sick to death of trying to get an appointment to see my GP...or ANY GP! ! !

I need to see a doctor but every time I either phone or attend at the surgery to try and get an appointment, I get the "look" and get told they have NOTHING for at least 3 weeks!

I had major surgery last year and I am still suffering from the after effects but am having to put up with pain because I cannot get an appointment to see a doctor! !

Dear Inconstantpain

Thanks for getting in touch - however I was sorry to read about your recent experience with your GP. I can completely understand why you feel frustrated.

If you would like me to pass on your concerns to the practice manager of your GP practice I'd be more than happy to assist, if you can contact me directly on 01698 858 292 or via email kathryn.ferguson@lanarskhire.scot.nhs.uk

Kind regards

Kathryn

Dear Inconstantpain

Unfortunately, my email address was incorrect in my original response. It should have read kathryn.ferguson@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk
