Difficult to get an appointment

When I need to be seen on the same day, I go to the surgery and queue outside about 7.45 in the morning, this is because I've found trying to get through on the phones is impossible first thing in the morning. I use the online booking system to make pre bookable appointments, but there is a long wait for these and it's difficult trying to see the same doctor for an ongoing medical condition. This can be annoying as I end up repeating my medical history over and over. The nurses are very good at caring for their patients. Since the surgeries merged, I think patients are really aware of the pressure on the surgery and the high demand for appointments. There is also an impact on people like me who don't drive, I can walk to this surgery but the bus service to the others from where I live isn't so good and if I have to get to the surgery early, my free bus pass isn't free to use before 9.30am so I have to pay extra money.
