If you are a patient at the above surgery you might prefer to visit a local pharmacy for your anti flu injection. I had not received the usual flu jab information. I called the surgery 10 days ago to ask for details. I almost had my head bitten off when I asked about flu jabs I was told quite rudely it was 26th September at 8am. Usually staff at the surgery are always pleasant and most helpful. This morning I walked to the surgery. As I turned into Charlwood Road at 7.45 I saw a large crowd of people and realised they were all waiting to visit the surgery. It was cold and very windy. The queue straggled along Charlwood Road, up the Upper Richmond Road, through the surgery and out into the very cold car park. It moved extraordinarily slowly because there were only two doctors giving injections. I eventually left the car park after queuing and waiting more than an hour and twenty minutes. I did think PutneyMead might have made more satisfactory arrangements for their elderly patients. I was lucky as the gentleman ahead of me in the queue was quite chatty and entertaining. But do be warned - get your flu jab elsewhere! |
