GPS seem to be texting a lot of my friends in their early 50s now.

KikoMiko · 15/03/2021 17:28

Early 50s are being done here in the far SW. I'm nearly 49, so within touching distance of being able to book hopefully!

My 54 year old husband has just been able to book online using the central booking system - it wasn't open to him yesterday so it seems like they've stealth updated it to over 50s. His appointment is next Tuesday.

I got a text from my GP this morning with a link to book (and could have booked for this afternoon but had a dc off school, so have gone for tomorrow instead)

I'm 54 and got a message from my GP last Tuesday. I'm booked in for Saturday morning.

DH has been able to book - albeit it was for 3 weeks ahead for the 1st and then 12 weeks from that for the 2nd.

TheGoodEnoughWife · 16/03/2021 07:25

Husband booked this morning. Wouldn't let him last night but has just now. He is 52.

Go Go Go!

ArtfulPuss · 16/03/2021 07:29

I have been checking daily and the online system just let DH book his appointments at our local hub – he's 50, and we're in the SW.
(It wasn't letting him through last night.)
I'm 49 and hopeful that I won't have much longer to wait!

yearinyearout · 16/03/2021 07:30

My 52 yr old friend who couldn't book online over the weekend managed to book yesterday

Systemagic · 16/03/2021 07:30

Yes - finally able to book on the national site just now. 52 and in East Mids. No text from GP yet for me, we know they are running a bit behind the national site.

There was loads more chose of local-ish venues than when my husband booked 10 days ago, too.

IcelandThree · 16/03/2021 08:44

52, north London, I could book late last night (couldn't earlier in the day). No GP text.

ValenciaOrange · 16/03/2021 08:55

West Yorkshire, we were able to book for me(51) and husband (52) last night for this Friday
The main page still says over 55, I'm about worried now we'll be turned away on Friday.

51-year-old DH was able to book this morning via the NHS site (Herts)

ElvisPresleysSideburns · 16/03/2021 10:53

Thank you!

Just booked mine for this Sunday. I'm 51 and in Shropshire.

TooManyPlatesInMotion · 16/03/2021 10:56

Following with interest. 41 (London) and hoping I might be booked in by Easter.

FascinatingCarrot · 16/03/2021 11:05

Husband and sister (both 50) booked this morning. East Lancs

SerenadeOfTheSchoolRun · 16/03/2021 11:42

My friend could book today - Southwest, age 50. There was availability at the nearest big hub from Saturday.

TheBlessedCheesemaker · 16/03/2021 11:44

Yep - NHS allowing Kent bookings in 51-54 range - appointment availability this Saturday onwards.

Monkeytapper · 16/03/2021 11:46

Just booked my husbands, 51, Leeds

iamme21 · 16/03/2021 11:48

I got my text yesterday, north west

Susie477 · 16/03/2021 11:55

I’ve just booked! I haven’t got a letter or text, but I went online to see if the system would accept my booking and it did. I’m 51 and in Derbyshire.

Today is a good day. Smile

abstractzebra · 16/03/2021 11:58

I'm 50 and got a text yesterday to book and I'm booked for this afternoon!
I had to double check what the date was when it came up with availability.
I could have had 10am but I've been furloughed for so long that I wasn't sure if I could make it in time!!!!

abstractzebra · 16/03/2021 11:58

Whoops! Forgot to say I'm in Hampshire
