Appointment system frustrating but doctors helpful once reached
Update... Attempted to book an appointment by phone. The system directed me to use the online portal. Accessed the online system, which displayed a message stating that online booking was temporarily unavailable and would resume on Monday at 08:00. Update... Upon calling, I was informed I was caller number 1 in the queue. After waiting over 25 minutes, I remained on hold. Update... The appointment booking process continues to be cumbersome, however once contact is eventually established with a clinician via telephone, they demonstrate helpfulness and initiate suitable follow-up actions. Based on this, I am adjusting my rating to 3/5 stars. My previous practice merged with the current service. I attended an urgent appointment regarding a cardiac concern. A monitoring test was recommended, though the appointment was not scheduled until six weeks later. I made multiple follow-up calls requesting results, but was repeatedly informed that results had not been received from the referring centre. Four weeks subsequently passed before I was able to see a clinician again, who arranged two additional cardiac tests through private provision—one scheduled three weeks later and another the following week. I received notification that results would be discussed via telephone call on a specified date, approximately 16 weeks after my initial appointment. The call consisted of a brief message regarding cholesterol levels only, with no discussion of my original cardiac concern. Public messaging encourages patients to contact their GP for health issues, yet the experience suggests limited responsiveness to patient needs. I intend to escalate this matter to the relevant health authority.
Goodness, over an hour and twenty minutes simply to arrange an appointment… is that really necessary? I was at the front of the queue from the beginning! I'm still waiting on the line — this feels..
