Prefer face to face appointments
I do find it hard to get in to the surgery and would prefer a face to face appointment rather than doing most things on the phone as I find this more difficult. There isn't really an option other than using Ask My GP which tends to lead to a telephone call and when I've raised how difficult I find them it's just been ignored. When I called recently it did sound like the phone was put down on me but it could've been a glitch with the phone system.
