Would prefer to book ahead
Using Ask My GP is okay, it can mean a bit more to and fro to get something arranged but on the whole I have had face to face appointments when needed. Only had a couple of occasions where I felt an actual consultation would've been better than the telephone call I got. When I'm working I just find it more difficult to take the calls and because there is no flexibility to book ahead it is more tricky to arrange around work. Mainly I've seen the nurse practitioner although I would prefer to see my GP at times. It would also be nice to be able to book appointments with reception staff in the surgery rather than having to go home and arrange appointments when you are already there.
