Everyone is well aware of the appointments across GP practices being in high demand, that's a problem across the country. However I have never had problems getting appointments here when I've genuinely needed one on the same day, or I advance. I have just had jaw surgery at the RVI and needed a follow up to get more codiene prescribed for the pain, as well as a sick note.
I was given the appointment on the same day. Everything was taken care of in no time at all at Railway and I cannot speak highly enough of the doctors at the practice. Over the years every single one I've seen have been excellent.
I'd like to shout out the doctors I seen today who was kind and compassionate. Girl on reception was also superb and nothing was too much trouble! The practice is also nipping clean and modern.
Yes the appointment system could be better and more available to book via the app, but then again many people abuse the service when they really dont need to be seen, or they don't turn up for appointments wasting them for people who genuinely want them. They should be charged for missing more than one!
"Great Doctors"
