What is it like getting a Doctors appointment for you ?

It's a phone queue,and you start at 08-00 and wait,sometimes it is better to ring 09-30 and hope,but Mrs P came up with a good idea.Press a button at their request and they ring you back.She got a late afternoon app same day,i wonder if they keep a few back just for that.

Obviously I've no idea about your practice and I've not seen my GP for over 2 yrs but mine used to be if you see a Nurse Practitioner" through the same day urgent condition and it's outside their remit they can make you a GP appointment same or next day. Same if you see a GP and they want a follow-up eg in a week they can make you an appointment.

So clearly practice holding back appointments so maybe later in the day some held back appointments not taken so calling eg early afternoon and they'll have some imminently available?

Guesswork but maybe gits what my practice was doing.
