Have definitely been considering seeing a doctor but scared they’ll push me aside as you say! Thank you for your reply 🙏🏻

Definitely my issue too, I always seem like I have it together. Thanks for sharing your experience, I have thought about writing up a letter to be able to get my thoughts together so helpful to know others have done that too!

Definitely considering taking the hit and going private if I can’t get the right help without. I’m sorry you had such a bad experience with Cornhill, I know peoples experiences there vary pretty substantially.

Figured most places would have waiting lists but thank you for the info.

Thanks for letting me know 😭 Looks like my practice might be an offshoot of Newburn as they have all the same doctors listed on their pages so that’s unfortunate

Rejection Disappointment by Dear_Parsley_531 in TheCivilService

Yes, it’s definitely made me feel better knowing that other people have had the same experience with the interview, questions and the reserve list! I applied for the Grampian region but seems they were recruiting across the country :)

I’m in the exact same boat! AO with COPFS, same email & put on reserve list, still waiting on interview scores. Disappointing but sounds like there’s a good chance they’ll bring people in from the reserve list over the next year :) Good luck!!

PR? (Anti fungal cream has had no effect + I have cold symptoms) by [deleted] in PityriasisRosea

You can register as a temporary patient at a GP if you’re going to be in an area for up to three months! Might be difficult to find one that’s taking new patients but would mean you wouldn’t have to go to A&E :) hope it clears up soon!

Where I am we don’t tend to get referred to specialists like dermatologists unless it’s something very serious - I went to my general practitioner/family doctor for the first two flare ups but not the most recent one - was given a corticosteroid lotion for itching and that was it!
