Livi

Wondered if anyone has used the new NHS livi service ? GP consultations by phone.

We've had a letter from our local service asking if we want to join up.

So just wondering if anyone already does it ? is it any good etc ?

Re: Livi

I probably won't use it Julie, if I feel bad I walk down to the surgery (about a mile away) and always feel much better after the fresh air and a walk....So I just walk home again.....

Re: Livi

Good point I was wondering because it's so hard getting appointments at our surgery so this might if it worked well be an answer.

Our surgery does it - tried it once but found the GP wouldn't listen to what I was saying - she kept talking across me so neither of us benefited from the experience. Would not do it again.

Thanks ST I did wonder if they would be as easy to deal with, seems not if your experience is common.

That's disgraceful Galty, I wonder if people are aware that they will lose the right to visit their local GP....
