Morning all thought I might pass some time here...
Trying to make an appointment with the GP for a routine blood test. I have been on hold for 18 mins and am currently 8th in the queue.

When do you think they might answer the phone?

When you get to 2nd place you will get cut off.
That's what usually happens to me.

Our surgery has a cut off of 12 and after that you have to call back then next day. I usually get through just after 12🙄🙄

Your appointment will be for sometime in June.

plus3 · 21/04/2021 11:12

June !! Actually you are probably not wrong...

Wouldn’t mind but they sent me a letter demanding that I make the appointment, I dropped off a repeat prescription request on Monday & wasn’t allowed to make the appointment face to face.

Still 6th in the queue...

I once spent 55 minutes on hold. Got to number 1 in the queue.... then they cut me off!

plus3 · 21/04/2021 11:27

Jumped from 3rd to 1st quickly & now have an appointment for beginning of May.

I was very nice to the receptionist Grin
