    How long do you normally wait for a doctor's appointment?

    I phoned our surgery this morning and was told that the first appointment with any doctor was next Monday. The first appointment with the doctor who we have been seeing for the last 10 years was in 2 weeks' time or the one after that in 3 weeks' time.

    Up until the beginning of this year we were able to go to the surgery or phone up at 0800 and get an appointment with our normal doctor on the same day.
    Our practice has now changed to operating a free for all of all appointments being able to be made in advance. Hence nothing at all available without a very long wait.

    It looks now as if it will be difficult in the future to have continuity of care with one doctor who knows us well.

    What sort of experience do others have with making appointments with their preferred doctor?
