Thanks for your replies.
No, I don't have an iPhone and there is only one surgery option as where I live is quite rural. The surgery doesn't have a website and the pharmacy is in the same building as the surgery. The lady I spoke to today did assure me that I should be able to be seen within a week max though, which is a lot better than a month.
CLKD, I like the area I'm living in, but my living circumstances are quite precarious. I'm acting as a live in companion/carer - I hate it as the lady I look after is really difficult, but I can't afford to move out and I have no job security or alternative accommodation, so if I need any major treatment I don't know what will happen. Just have to wait and see.
