Re: Walk in or not?

That's disgusting.. It also makes me glad I have a good GP. The only complaint I have about my GP is that if you don't get to the surgery by 9 (it opens at 8:30), then you don't have a good chance of getting an appointment that day. Especially Mondays, as everyone who feels slightly ill over the weekend seems to go to the GP on Monday.

Can't really off any constructive advice though. Keep trying with the centre. Surely if she can't get to the centre, they should send a doctor out?

The really surprising thing is that from what I was told (I still have friends in the NHS), the reason these walk-in centres were devised was because there aren't enough GPs and it's considerably more expensive to have a patient treated at an A&E department than it is to have them treated in an outside surgery (whether it is a walk in centre, or GP's surgery).
