I can’t stand all the telephone calls of not being able to see a doctor. I do very much understand why, but wish things would be able to go back to how it was.

@Daisybuster Yes it's so frustrating! I haven't been able to get thru to mine either. I know it's all in the effort to keep us all safe, but it does add quite a lot of stress

We now have to go via econsult for everything and anything, its a ruddy nightmare!! You are not even allowed to call and ask for a phone consultation!! Its pants!!

But on a positive I have now got it so I go onto a website (system online) and am able to reorder my medications.... they even linked other members of my familiy ....inc parents who live down the road and dont do 'tech stuff' so can order repeats for us all monthly and then the chosen pharmacy will text when they all ready to get picked up.
