Oh what a barrel of laughs. I had to try and access a District or Community nurse for my husband. Without going into detail - we needed advice, there was pus & the situation was well dodgy.
I was told off for not ringing at 8.00am - sorry but human health doesn& #39;t work like that.

By midday I was worried enough to call the surgery - again. I could fill in an online form, but otherwise I& #39;d have to wait until the & #39;morrow. I asked if I could speak to a nurse - & #39;none available.& #39;
Then it was suggested that we go to the local Walk In centre - if husband could walk, he can& #39;t atm. A neighbour suggested Community nurses. They were courteous & kind but - here& #39;s the kicker He had to be referred by the local GP.
The one who wasn& #39;t taking calls & we& #39;d left contact until too late. Undeterred, I rang the GP - again. That& #39;s when the fun really started. "Was my husband really housebound, "Yes atm." "Was he classified as being housebound?"
