Call You and Yours: GP Appointments
On Call You and Yours, we want to know what it's like trying to get a GP appointment where you live.
For Call You and Yours, we want to know what it's like trying to get a GP appointment where you live.
For many years, waiting on hold first thing in the morning has been part of the experience of trying to make a GP appointment. The idea of online booking systems is to end the 8am scramble, and make it easier for patients to book non-urgent appointments or ask questions. For the past six months, the government has told surgeries across England to offer this service. But a charity that represents older people claims many are struggling with this change.
How is it working for you? Do you have a good experience to share, or are you finding it difficult getting booked in? Are you one of an increasing number of people paying to use private GP services - if so, how's that worked for you? If you're a GP, how has online booking changed the way you work?
Email us now - youandyours@bbc.co.uk, and don't forget to leave a phone number so we can call you back. After 11am on Tuesday 6 April, you can call us on 03700 100 444.
