It's a real lottery,
I just ring up and get an appointment, longest I've had to wait is like a day or 2.

We have to call at 8am to make an appointment
Of course, everyone calls then, so by the time you get through, the appointments are usually all gone

Sounds like a poor people problem, no matter when I ring there is an appointment usually the same day.

It's quieter where I live now
But even in deepest darkest Pompey I never struggled to get a same day appointment. I mean, I can't say that I always saw a decent doctor, but that's a separate issue

when I moved to Bethnal Green I went to the surgery up the road to register
they told me not to, as it was taking a month to see a GP

My doctor got a load of new patients a few years ago
When the surgery in the village hired a doctor who had been sent from the dwp. People with chronic and even life-threatening illnesses were suddenly being declared fit for work
