      The Pulse survey appears to have been self-selecting so it is always the doctors who are experiencing the biggest problems with waiting times who are the most likely to respond to a survey on the issue, which skews the results, while... 3/

      The survey is only for ROUTINE appointments, not emergency appointments - which make up half of all GP appointments. So, if you’re very unwell, you can see your GP today, but if it’s a non-urgent issue, it will wait a couple of weeks. Which makes sense, surely? 4/

      But the Guardian headline, based on the Pulse headline “Average GP waiting times exceed two weeks for first time ever”, is clearly misleading as HALF of all appointments (ie. those who need to see a doctor urgently) are on the day or the next day. 5/

      There are plenty of problems in the NHS and with patients getting GP appointments, but Pulse magazine and the Guardian should deal with the FACTS and not misleading half truths that don’t give an accurate picture. 6/

          I think you've misunderstood she's saying 2wks to see a Gp&I agree, not a specialist or to get a referral then await of which we know can take between up to a few months depending on indivuial cases

          FACT: No other country in the world operates a healthcare system where it dominates both FUNDING and PROVISION of healthcare. These "crises" do not face consumers in NL, BE, FR, DE. They've figured out a better system. The #NHS needs restructuring, now!

          And practices having many patients who don't speak English has an effect on appointment times and accuracy of diagnosis. We must be able to communicate in a civilised society.

          I live in Gateshead and the last appointment I made at the doctors was nearly one months wait. 3-4 weeks is about the usual wait.

          if I ring my gp surgery, I get put through a triage system, and they will decide if I need to see someone that day or if it can wait. People are too used to being able to call and ask to see whichever Dr they wanted to.
