But they need to get more phone lines if they want to do over the phone consultations, you should still be able to contact reception for other things.

They might be open for business, but how do you make an appointment?

 

Yes, but first week more people came out here then went back to normal, last week doubled in traffic/people than normal, we've never seen the traffic/people get less than a normal week, the only time I see what they call a lockdown is went we go shopping and the roads are quite but shops are busy

 

Just phone easy.
I must admit it is a big turnaround.

 

You dont get get the old engaged signal all the time then?

 

Exactly, at some point reality will have to dawn on those in charge and things will have to get going again, otherwise we could still be like this come christmas.

 

My sincere apologies if much of this has been said before by me. Thankfully my daughter Amanda did eventually manage to book grocery deliveries from Tesco. We have managed to keep going.

We both shop also at Sainsbury's and despite all the emails from the CEO, we have been unable to log-in and book a delivery. Fair do's. Difficult times etc, but it appears most supermarkest have closed down regarding you and I contacting them.

A couple of days ago. I had a phone call from the National office of public services or what ever. I accepted that the chap was genuine as he knew so much about me. He asked if I had had a letter from my GP about vulnerable patients. NO. The only letter as such was a message from the PM. He assured me I was very vulnerable. viz. I was under Guys hospital for Cancer. Cardiac Aortic stenosis. General med/condition. Sufferring with colitis and IBS. Glaucoma and yes. This guy thingy. 80yrs.

Having been involved in the past with ID cards etc. I became very involved. For instance. Despite not being a world wide traveller. I beleive that most countries insist that everyone carries an ID Card. Here in the UK ?????????? Having been a traffic cop. It is unbelievable the number of motorist who have no identity on them. With the advent of the plastic card and modern technology. I proposed that a compulsory digital card should become the norm. Here with technological seperating. Police could instantly identify a suspect. Medics could gain immediate medical records and so on. Governmental departmens could instantly identify you. Of course the opposers crawl out of the woodwork.. Invasion of privacy and all that.

I have to admit. I now tend to respect and understan tecnology more. When you consider. Bobots can cary out brain surgery. Come on. Isn't it time mankind gave life a second glance.

 

The surgery registration and website is Patient Access, I always presumed this was a nationwide system(?) We have been using this for years to book repeat prescriptions and sometimes appointments. The pharmacy is part of the surgery, and you can collect your prescription 48 hours after requesting. We did ask if they could deliver them to our door, as I am at risk, but they said demand was to high. Not a problem as Jans daughter collects the prescriptions in one visit.
I thought you could register with your surgery over the phone, but apparently not.

Patient Access - GP appointments & prescriptions online

 

Our surgery is with Patient Access too, has been for years. We had to take identification into the surgery first before they issued us a log in number.

 

I've come across a website that my doctors used to use it was called vision on line, apparently I signed up for it years ago and just rummaged around to find my log in details.
Logged in and it has moved to something called Patient Services and apart from having to change my password I seem to have got into it.

Still cant contact the surgery through it , cant make appointment and cant work out how I get repeats as its all up for review this month, so basically I still got to contact the surgery some how.

I'm thinking maybe smoke signals or a long piece of string and two tin cans.
