Just wanting peoples views. …
Yesterday I called our doctors at 12pm on the dot, to get an afternoon appointment as is the process. When I called I was eighth in the queue, 15 minutes later when I finally got through I was told that all the appointments had gone. I asked her what I meant to do as my four year old had a temp and tonsillitis and needed antibiotics. She told me to go the walk in or phone 111. (I called 111 at 12:20pm and someone called me back at 20:45pm last night, but that’s another story.) Someone has since told me that doctors are meant to see children under 5 the same day? I’ve got to admit I thought this too. Just wondering if anyone else has a similar experience and whether what I’ve been told is correct or not. TIA
