I'm glad to see your asking (As long as you really are a doc).
1) The first thing and I'm sure this goes for most is i get an appointment when i want an appointment not in 2 or 3 days time.
2) I know the receptionist are very busy and they have a hard job but the ones at my surgery want me to explain exactly what i want to see you about before letting me make an appointment.
3) Repeat prescriptions, they take to long to get and now you don't actually get a prescription they Email it to the chemist of your choice.
4) Better mags in the waiting rooms (HA-HA)
Keep up the good work..........

First of all, your care co-ordinator can't stop the medications only a doctor can do this. As a mental health worker they should be prepared for incidents and be there to support you, that's their job. If your gp is still happy for you to continue taking the medication then you should follow their advice as it is certainly not recommended to just stop anti-depressants. I too have BPD and it is one of the worst mental illnesses to control, sufferers often have setbacks and need extra support during these and your co-ordinator should be aware of that. If you are still concerned make an appointment to see your own gp to discuss your future medication. I hope you are feeling better soon, depression is a horrible thing to deal with.

I would like to see GP's tackling the health issues head on and trying to improve peoples lives. Cure not suppression of symptoms. I guess this is not specifically a GP issue, but you are the folks on the front line of the NHS.

I have finished my medicine internship few months ago and now I am doing my Graduation Thesis.
I think something needed is resources, human and economic resources. It was so disappointing when I extended someone a recipe or a test order the resident physician had told me to, and they said: ¡But I can't afford that because I am out of money!
Recently, a hospital in my country was closed because of a bio-safety issue so something missing there was responsibility of every health services related person. Some are, some are not, but everyone should be.

Wow, expect a load of answers !!
Doctors taking more time to listen and appearing interested in your ills. Doctors being paid more by the government to look after the patients. Bigger practices. More car parking spaces. A special phone number for the young to ring when they have a health problem and someone on the end that can give advice. The surgery with it's own dispensary.

I would like there to be more doctors within the surgeries so you aren't waiting half an hour at a time just to see a doctor! To be able to nurses for illness that just needs anti biotics instead of having to wait to see the doctor when you know thats all youll need. Not having to explain to the reception the details of your illness when they haven't a clue anyway! Have someone on the phone you can ring for general questions instead of having to book an apointment. Doctors who are more professional i went to the doctor the other month and want very professional. Taking things as jokes and laughing. We need to be taken seriously. its bad enough going and desribing intimate details of our bodies without the doctors laughing in your face. x

I'd like the option to see a practise nurse if I'm not sure if I need to bother the doctor, not have to explain to the receptionist about my symptoms.
I'd like a receptionist who doesn't look like she's bored out of her mind and wishes she was somewhere else. I don't imagine its a laugh a minute job, but the pharmacist at our local chemist is run off her feet and still manages to act with compassion and respect all day long; and guess what, everybody loves her...

Firstly. Please could you have some sympathy for those of us who work full time and go to The Doctor once in a Blue Moon? When I call my Surgery there are so many pre booked appointments that it is often days until I can be seen.
Secondly: I know you work hard but so do I, and I HAVE to look interested in my Clients. Please say 'hello', please understand that most of us are quite bright and being patronised is quite hard to swallow.
Thirdly (sorry!): Your Receptionist doesn't need to know my business. If I say I need to see a Doctor, I do. I am a Grown up. I can work out for myself how urgent or non urgent that may be.
Fourthly: Thanks for asking!

Learn what alternatives work or advise / refer to natural treatments before prescribing drugs / surgery which will eventually require more visits due to side effect problems.
