They are basically diverting everyone to 111
Must depend on the area each of us live in.
As I just said in another post, over the next three weeks I have three appointments, two will be at the surgery, the other by phone.
There are a couple of medications I use that are not on my monthly prescription, three times I have phoned the surgery requesting more, and a prescription has been authorised by the doctor, and sent to the local pharmacy by the end of the day.
The only appointment that has been "diverted" was from my Gastroenterology consultant at Bedford hospital. She arranged for an ultrasound scan to be done at Biddenham private clinic just outside Bedford.
Fucking brilliant, normally at the main hospital you have to take a couple of books, and a packed lunch, this time I arrived at 11:50 and by 12:15 I was getting back in my car to come home.
