The system Macklin Street has in place is terrible.
In order to get an appointment you have to ring from 8 o'clock every morning, your not allowed to pre book appointments, even if its for a repeat prescription, you still have to ring at 8 and hope for the best!
If you work full time like I do its impossible to ring at 8 as that's when I'm on my way to work, so by the time i can get through all the appointments are gone.
No end of times have I had to fork out for emergency prescriptions because I haven't been able to get into the surgery.
The reception staff are useless, you can moan & complain your life away but it falls on deaf ears and nothing ever gets passed on, they just nod & agree & then forget everything you said.
But apart from that the doctors themselves (when you get to see them) are great, but i would not recommend this surgery to anyone.
