My daughter got excellent prompt service and treatment at the walk in centre on Monday morning, I knew it wasn't worth even trying to get he an appointment at our Docs. She did see our Doc on Wednesday however(for an appointment which the receptionist then insisted never existed, even though I booked it on the phone a whole week earlier), he has now diagnosed exactly what I told him was wrong some 9 month ago(anaemia and low blood pressure). I think I read that a doc gets £600 per year for each patient on his books, I can't imagine that they are losing that money because of the walk in centre, people will still stay registered.

I only persist with my Doc because they do a late surgery on Tuesday for workers and the nurse is very good.
