One of the features of getting older is that you develop the feeling that the whole country has gone to the dogs. Also the kinds of music your children listen puts your teeth on edge. But that is a different matter.

Another is the feeling that it takes longer and longer to get an appointment to see your family doctor. (Or GP or Primary care physician). Indeed according to the UK’s Daily Mail one can often wait two to there weeks for an appointment. But according to official guidelines we should be aiming at a 2 day wait.

So something seems to be going wrong. But what and where?

To help answer this question we would love your help.

Firstly it would be super if you could participate in the poll below which asks if you feel that these days you are waiting too long for a doctors appointment.

Secondly it would be great if you could use the comment box to share some of the reasons behind your answer and also how you think the situation could be improved.

Many thanks in advance.
