I just have to share this with you. I tried to phone my GP this morning to make appts. for our flu jabs and after several tries of listening to music for 20 minutes I looked at our health centres website where it said you could make the appointments on-line.
First, of course, I had to register for this service, fairly simple, and then I had to link this account to the local health centre, again no problem.
Then, believe it or not, I have to phone the health centre to tell them that I have done this and wait for them to send me a letter - - and I thought an on-line service meant no more sitting in a phone queue.



Yes registration is s little clunky! I guess that's their way of protecting your privacy. Worth it though ... Book appointments, complete some consultations, report bp readings etc. Lovely also to be able to order repeat prescriptions on my phone and the pills drop through the letterbox 3 or 4 days later!

My surgery have just prompted me to move from the SystmOnline app to the AirMid app so a bit of a move away from the familiarity. I believe I read that the new app can automatically link to my Google Fit figures automatically reporting weight, bp measurements, lack of exercise etc to the surgery ... Haven't done that yet though!

Some of you seem very light-hearted and uncaring about people who, for various and valid reasons, don't have/use social media or even the Internet. My post wasn't about whether someone is "old" or behind the times, purely that social media is not always the place to post stuff, like the flu jabs, to the detriment of those who don't. I have had my letter - which clearly states phone my local surgery to fix an appointment - one week after the FB/Twitter posts about the drop-in session there was announced. I did so and have to wait another three weeks.

did you know ficklejade you can book an appointment with boots and other chemist/pharmacy still free to those who qualify and they inform your practise that you've had it done

I expect the nearest Boots is a ferry ride away in Oban for Ficklejade. I don’t remember one in Tobermory, but it’s a while since I was over there.

I'm still trying to get through to the surgery!!!

Romany, appreciate you were trying to be helpful but Fiona's correct in that the nearest Boots is two hours including a ferry ride away one way in Oban and, as we know, there's covid in Oban, I'm not going over! Aside from that, Boots Oban aren't doing the jabs. Our sole pharmacy (it's tiny) isn't in the position to offer jabs with covid restrictions so it's all being done via surgeries or drop-ins.

Twitter is great if you have a problem with a company. I always get a faster response from a public tweet than going to the company direct by phone or email.
