I had a appointment over the phone, and received a text to confirm. Waited all day no call, tried to call the surgery and the phone is never answered. Gave up after a few days and went a&e.

If your thinking of registering at this practice, dont bother. I live very close to this practice but struggle to get an appointment. There are 2 types of appointment available here, if its an emergency you need to spend at least 30 mins constantly calling on the phone. if you are lucky enough to have a conversation with an abrubt & rude receptionist, she might let you have one. The other option is a routing appointment and you will have to wait at least a month. The front desk staff must also be doctors or nurses here because they diagnose your problem over the phone and sometimes say "its not
