The consultation took the form of a telephone call.
I am referring to the appointment on 15/16 of december 2023. The GP failed to correctly diagnose my throat infection and I told him all my symptoms and how much pain I was in, the GP said Antibiotics won’t help. I then had to go emergency doctors the next day and they told me I had a throat infection and gave me antibiotics, which could’ve been avoided if the GP at heald green gave me them. I was also displaying symptoms of being allergic to penicillin that’s why I had to call the GP back and she was very nice and helped my problem and prescribed me different ones.
The Dr was very good. However I was on time but the machine wouldn’t sign me in. I tried a few times before giving up and trying to sign in with the receptionist who unfortunately was on the phone. This made me miss my appointment time and I was told someone would check if the Dr could still see me. I understand the importance of being on time, but being late due to computer error or lack of a medical secretary should not make a patient who is I’ll and had no sleep feel worse.

Called at 8am to get an appointment, phone lines busy so just hung up on me, called back 30 more times before getting through, only to be told that I was in a queue but my place could be held and I would get a call back. I got a call back 30 mins later and was told that there were no appointments. I had to argue with the receptionist to get a telephone consultation (I have had the issue before so knew what I needed to be prescribed, just needed a doctor to prescribe it). When I finally spoke to a doctor the call lasted less than a minute.

It was a positive experience which did not feel rushed.
The reason behind I took that decision the GP not accepting to hear about my health issues in same time he asked to get another appointment, that means he didn't save the time and for the environment, the reason I am saying that if I get the another appointment he needs to spend time with me again and prepare the room for the next patient,for the environment he needs to but I new tissue and cleaning for the area where he checked the patient also I came by the car, when I need to make another appointment I will come also by car that not good for environment
