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.

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.
