Gone are the days when the Dr told you to 'roll up your sleeve' and took it there and then
We're fortunate to have both these things! Online advance booking AND docs taking bloods! And we've yet to be told there were no appointments available on days we've rung for one - even had a choice of times on occasion!
My surgery has all but stopped the EMIS online bookings now.
Pity, it was really handy. I think they were getting too many people booking and not turning up.
Now we mostly have to ring on the day, or wait 5 weeks for an online slot.

Yes ours only really takes repeat prescriptions through emis now. Sad really as it was very useful when it was working.
My surgery recently moved to new premises, lovely old house all refurbished, but the waiting areas are very bland, no magazines to read to pass the time, nothing to entertain the kids.
