Got mine at Holmcroft community centre the other week ,and hubbys at local pharmacy this time . Last year I went to Tesco pharmacy as the local one hadn't got 65+ and GP surgery hadn't got in touch and made it sound like I was a nuisance when I rang enquiring, despite a message popping up on medical records saying it's due and to contact the surgery.
I was told to ring about the 'alien' removed from my neck in minor surgery a few weeks ago. Findings still weren't back last Monday , so I was told to ring again Wednesday and if still not back they would look into it. Rang back Wednesday , still not back . Asked if she could check up on it. "I'm too busy , we've got a meeting later" Told her the other receptionist had said they would look into it if not back by today.... " I'll see what I can do , if I have time"
They did actually phone back though later in the day , saying results will take longer still. But apparently if the results mean the doctor needs to see me , they won't be ringing me. "The emphasis is on the patient to ring us to check "
